According to the book 'a party trick involves doing something no one else can do'. It took me a while to think of anything. Dunc showed me a trick involving spinning cigarette papers on the end of your finger. But as he already knows how to do that, it wouldn't be something only I could do, would it? The book suggests many things, including wiggling your ears. That was when I remembered a 'talent' I have. Touching the end of my nose with my tongue. Oh yes.
Here's a picture of me doing my party trick unsuccessfully:

And here's me doing it properly:

And what it the use of this talent? Well, absolutely nothing. That's sort of the point isn't it? It's just a whimsy to amuse people, fleetingly, at parties. I'll try it at the next one I go to and see how it tickles people.
