How does cat scratches work

It is most certainly a "magic trick", for lack of a better term. The way I would do it is distract the person while slightly scratching them, before the "performance" even started. Perhaps in the process of getting them to lie down. Programmer , Mar 9, No I'm serious, I seem to remember there being a few doctors here so I thought maybe one of them could chime in. And it's not a magic trick; I remember doing it to my sibling and it worked on the second try.

The mind is very capable of initiating physiological responses to things which may not be occurring, for example nocturnal emissions. I just don't remember all the details or if it had a name. Maybe it had to do with homophobia and guys not feeling comfortable massaging another guy or being massaged by another guy at the temples.

Whatever the reason was, I can't get information about this anywhere. I've actually been searching around for this since making that post. Only thing I've come up with so far is this from Yahoo Answers: How to do the "chicken scratches on back" trick?

I find a few things interesting: Story can vary quite a bit it seems. I guess in one variation the scratches mean a cat is going to kill you!

One person mentioned lying on their back, while another on their stomach. No mention of rubbing temples there. The only commonality seems to be the scratches, and given that the position of the body doesn't matter this leads me to believe the scratches are definitely there before the trick even begins.

Probably from scratching myself in my sleep, who knows. Does that happen to anyone else? I'm about to start posting this question on a few magicians forums I used to frequent. If for no other reason cause the varying cat stories have gotta be interesting and I love cats. DCrist , Mar 10, Jun 12, USA. Where's Joanna when I need her to give this a shot!!!! I don't remember all the details Steve, but I'm trying to track down some of the girls that I went to Jr.

High with so they can tell me more about it. If you thought that in my last post I meant that I recently did it to my brother based on only the information I posted above, I mislead you, I just edited it so people realize that when I tried it on my brother it was when I first found out about this. Oh, and I received your package today, shipping was really fast. The only thing is one of the bottles leaked all over the others during shipment even though it was sealed, when I opened it the bottle didn't have a dropper top though.

I don't really care because I'm not a big fan of Pina Colada anyway, but I just thought you should know so you can double check the rest of the bottles. Programmer , Mar 10, Feb 15, San Francisco, CA. There was a similar "game" we played in my jr high school - one girl would lie on her back and 6 others would each put 2 fingers from each hand under her at various points head, feet, shoulders, hips everyone would close their eyes and someone would tell a story of the girl dying or something like that- the story varied but it always ended with the words " I hadn't thought about that in years till I saw your post.

Thanks for the memory jog! Supposed outcome: On three, the group should be able to lift the center person off the floor using just a finger or two. What actually happens : By chanting and counting to three, everybody in the circle is in sync and makes the lift attempt at the exact same moment. This means weight is equally distributed across everyone, and your fingers only have to hold so much weight.

Supposed outcome: A woman covered in blood will appear in the mirror and try to take your soul. This is especially pronounced in low-light spaces. Tell the person lying down to close his or her eyes and relax.

What actually happens: The effect is probably a mixture of hypnosis and balance. It scratches you, one, two, three. Cat scratch, cat scratch, cat scratch! Step 3: The person gets up quickly and you pull up the back of their shirt.
