Instructions
Tell your volunteer you want to show them something, and get down on your hands and knees. Tell your volunteer to do the same next to you.
| As your volunteer is getting into position, twist your arm 270 degrees clockwise from pointing forward, so it is now pointing to your left. This will look like you have just moved your hand to the left. | |
| Tell your volunteer to move their hand into the same position, and they will just twist their arm to the right. | |
| Next, untwist your arm anticlockwise slowly, so it looks like you are in pain, and tell your volunteer to do the same. They should only be able to get their hand pointing backwards at the most, but you can twist your arm 360 degrees until it is pointing it is back to where you started. | |
| If done well, this will look like you have just twisted your arm 360 degrees. |
