Surely everyone can rotate their thumbs in opposites directions, as inately we would do that symetrically.Getting them to go in the same direction is surely the task.

Mesh your fingers together with palms facing you and enough space that your thumbs don't touch,rotate thumbs in opposite directions. Helps if you have someone else to see that you actually are as a lot of times when I've shown folks this only they are convinced they're doing it.
I can do this without any thought or struggle, always have been able to, but I've only been able to find maybe 1-2 other people who also can.
Dunno why, just how your made I guess, brain connections and such, mine are pretty 'special' so maybe this is associated in some way?

I believe I saw this on 'How' on TV in the '70s first, they said nobody could do it and I tried and could do it easily and thought 'You people talk poo!'then in school the next day everyone was trying to do it and no one could, so I showed them I could and I was a playground freakshow from there on!
Actually one or two kids managed to teach themselves how to do it after much practice, which is interesting, if still rather pointless...
