I Love..
shit like this.
I've a few non-conventional skills. Juggling, fire breathing, knife and axe throwing and a few others.
All of them have been developed by thinking. "That looks cool - let's learn how to do it"
The rest is hours and hours of practice. At some point, there's a little switch that gets thrown in your brain and you stop thinking about doing it and just do it. Then it's just perfecting it so it's as natural as walking.
Almost every, learned physical skills (walking, driving, cycling - even eating) follows the same pattern. At first it's hard because you're thinking to much, trying too hard and then - BLIP - you can suddenly do the basic shit.
Cheers

Add tap dancing & living statue to your "skill" list, and you will be complete.

Hum a familiar tune from your youth while you try to learn something that needs to become habitual
It reminds your brain of when you used to just accept new input unquestionably and flips your procedural memory into 'write mode' easier.
Honest, it works, I do bits of the 'War Of The Worlds' music myself...
