Finger Circle

This feat is similar to super-gluing your thumb to your forefinger, so that they cannot be pulled apart. You make a circle with your thumb and forefinger by pressing their tips together. Then ask a person to pry them apart, he or she cannot do it.

To perform this feat:

Relax your hand and arm by shaking your hand vigorously for a few seconds.
Place the tips of your thumb and forefinger together.
Imagine that your thumb and forefinger have been fused together, or that they are one solid ring of iron.
Have someone try to pull them apart.
Relax and maintain the iron image in your head as that person tries hard to pull them apart.

Tips:

Practice with a friend pulling gently and gradually increasing the pull.
If your thumb and forefinger were actually glued together, would you have to use any muscle to keep someone from prying them apart? No, because the glue would do the work for you. So rely on the "mental glue" you are applying with your mind, and not on your muscle.
If you have a little trouble catching the feeling, try using muscle first. Put your thumb and forefinger together and press really hard. The have someone try to pull them apart—it should be easy. Now that you know how using a lot of muscle feels, shake your hand out, and try it again using very little muscle.

Feel almost as though you're ignoring the person who is trying to pry your fingers apart.
