Inherited Traits: Can you do THIS?

Please excuse the odd formatting of this one. The six steps to this fun trick run as follows: right, center, left; then right, center, left, even though the center photos are below the ones on the right and left. Directions are below...enjoy!





Start by crossing your arms with your palms facing each other. Lace fingers together, and twist your arms underneath towards you so that your hands end up upright (step three). Then put your right elbow through the space above your left elbow, without letting go of your fingers (step four). The challenge of this trick is to keep your fingers laced the whole time. To finish the trick, try to fit your head through the space between your arms, again, without letting your fingers become unlaced. If you are successful, you will emerge, as Luke does here (lower right, step six), with head through arms and hands laced behind the neck. We figure, if you can do this, then you're probably part of the family!

I totally do this! And I'm the only person I've ever known who could do it! Yes, I am descended from the same MacKirdys/Makuredys/ McCurdys (including Fingal) that you are. I just thought I had monkey arms!
