This always brings a smile to someones face.

Find a doorway and stand in it. place the outside of your wrists against each side of the door frame and push into the frame as hard as you can for 1 min. Then step out of the doorway and allow your arms to relax at their sides. Your arms will start to do the magic on their own.

Cheap, but quite entertaining.

Also works when you hold some weights at arm's length for a couple of minutes.

Your arms still try to raise themselves even without you trying to raise them.

This "trick" is so old, I thought every kid in the world did it. I guess I was wrong.

I was raised by wolves. I've only recently been reintroduced to human society.

It happens because your 'muscles' are use to 'pushing' for 1minute then when you relax they momentarily are still contracting = they move without you thinking about it.
