Its a chinese yo-yo, or a hourglass looking thing with string...
you'll see. It's a kind of juggling:

That's mine. Those aren't the most awesome tricks (as i'm doing that indoors) but you get the idea.

If you have a video or pictures or whateva, post it! If you don't have video that's cool too, just let everyone in on your talent! even if you're a beginner.

Obscure talent? Remembering the finer details of something somebody said regardless of my inability to remember what I did an hour ago. It ticks people off. :> I can also roll/twist/curl out of pretty much any sort of hold/pin. It's weird, so weird that people refer to it as a "talent". Oh, and I can make really ugly shoes and/or purses look awesome.

Uhhhmm, the only obscure thing I can think of that I do is crochet.
:p
It's sort of like knitting, only with one hooked needle instead of two.
Right now I'm crocheting sweaters for my little puppies.

I'm a 15 (almost 16) year old male who can still put his feet behind his head. The only other people I know who can do that are females. :S I'm also insanely pro at geography. I know all the capitals of the US states (I'm Canadian), all the capitals of the European countries and I can locate almost all countries on a map (except little tiny island countries). This is especially weird since we don't learn geography at school. I guess it's not really a skill. It's more just me being a nerd.. It's not really obscure but that's the best I've got.

I can touch my nose with my tongue, and I can touch my feet with my head.

I also do 2000 star jumps (jumping jacks) every night, which isn't really a talent. It's just...weird :lol:.

Those aren't obscure, their just amazing :P.

I can also do computer programming and chin ups, but beasting Zelda games...true talent right there ;).

Seriously though, an obscure talent I have? Being able to sleep anywhere, in anything.

Wow, I'm soo envious of that! Seriously! I've got 8 siblings (#9 on the way! :D) and they constantly make noise! Making it impossible to catch any Z's during the day, makes me get up early, and I naturally stay up until midnight ;)

I can learn almost any language in a relatively short period of time. Well, I wouldn't necessarily say any language, as Albanian and Latin seem to have given me a run for my money due to all the declensions. Declensions aren't exactly so hard as they are time-consuming as hell, and I am a mentally lazy b****** who'd much rather put as little effort into thinking as humanly possible (which is why I hate math). Also I can smell/taste certain sounds/words. For example, the letter N smells like @ss, especially when placed together with the S sound. Weird ***t. Hmm, what else? Oh, I'm double jointed in my shoulders, so I can 'dislocate' my rotator cuffs. I do this by holding my hands together behind my back and raising them over my head to the front of my body while my hands are still clenched together. I can do this several times before it starts to feel funny. The most obscure of all my obscure talents, however, is the fact that I can shart the alphabet and burp-speak. I can post a sound sample of these talents if anyone would like to hear them; just let a wolfman know.

I can unicycle (only moving forward though, unicycling in place is near impossible)).

I can perfectly write in the Twilight Princess version of Hylian, since it's just another alphabet for English. It hurts my hand if I do it for too long, though... (dang it's tiring)

My voice, for some reason, decided to give me the ability to speak AND sing in extremely strange ways. I can alter the sound to sound like a 'chipmunk' voice, and this applies to both speaking AND singing. I can also talk and sing like a stereotypical female opera singer. I can also copy a guy singing rock, if that's what you would call it. Apparently, I am also very good at imitating people in general, but not in a serious way. (I especially love imitating Hetalia characters XD)

It isn't really obscure, but I can stare for a long time. Also I can do this weird thing with my hand that I don't even know how to describe. Maybe I'll post a photo when I get the chance.
