Voluntary Nystagmus
This was something of a "trick" I used to use at school from about the age of 4/5 to freak young girls out. They used to call it "creepy" in my later years I just get my cock out to achieve the same effect.

For anyone that doesn't know it's the ability to make my eyes vibrate very quickly in their sockets. I have only really met two other people that can do it and they are my younger siblings. I imagine this doesn't make it a rare ability, just a super duper fucking dull one.

how long before someone says that you do this to 4/5 year old young girls?
5... 4..... 3......

My eye sometimes does this shit involuntarily.
It will vibrate like crazy for 5 to 10 seconds then stop... but this then repeats itself many times over the course of an hour.

I didn't know it had a name, I just used to call it "my eye's going weird".
It is really annoying.

I too possess this superpower
And it is singularly ineffective in impressing the ladeez. Another eye-related 'gift' I suspect you may possess is the ability to 'reverse focus', whereby you can de-focus towards infinity rather than close-up. This skill made me ever-so-slightly more popular than baseline during the early nineties with the prevalence of 'magic eye' posters. As everyone was trying to 'open up their chakra, and free their mind' to find the hidden meaning within the rows of these posters at festivals and the like, I was just able to focus out and walk past them all, loudly saying 'dolphin, cannabis leaf, acid smiley face, eagle' etc. Actually it probably made me sound like a bit of a twunt.

Ah yes I can. I never really understood people's fascination and frustration in seeing them. It seemed like a very simple thing to do.

you fucker.
that's my party trick!

If you hook yourself up to a cheap eeg like an NIA or a Neurosky, and set the software to scan you for REM and take a sleep log or whatever the equivalent is in your software, doing this will trigger that too. So there you go, a pointless superpower, rendered even more pointless :D I guess you could use it to fuck with some kind of sleep study :)

It's kinda cool to roll your eyes about first, then slap your self on the side of the head, then vibrate them like a bastard so it looks like you just knocked your eyes silly. Crossing them and uncrossing them will also help you look even more of a twat when demonstrating this.

Loving the concept of trying to look even more of a twat.
