How to Look Like You're Pulling Your Thumb Off

If you're looking for an impressive (and slightly gruesome) party trick, why not try pretending to pull your thumb off? Follow these steps and you'll have the illusion of ripping your own finger right off your hand!

Instructions

  • Begin by grabbing your left thumb with the opposite hand. Don't squeeze too hard, but make sure there's reasonable contact between the skin of your left hand and the base of your right thumb.
  • Flex your right wrist slightly away from your body and turn your palm so the fingers are pointing away from you, making it look like you’re pulling your left thumb out of your left hand.
  • Hold this pose for a few seconds, keeping your arm as still as possible. It should look like you're trying to pull your left index finger right out of your hand.
  • Finish the trick by releasing your left Index Finger and slowly lowering your right arm back into its starting position.

Remember: Practice makes perfect. With enough practice, you'll soon be able to pull off this impressive trick with ease!
