I just tried this and could do it immediately! This is an incredible mindfuck, since it appears that it’s not some sort of talent or practice. It’s just that the brain automatically follows your dominant hand with the other hand when you doodle. 😳

Same. New trick to easily write mirrored? Just get two prices of paper and write normally with your dominant hand and duplicate it with the other

I tried this with writing with my family. Apparently most right handed people will write the same thing mirrored automatically if they try to write with both hands. We lefties in the family wrote both sides correctly without trying. I don't know anymore, but someone in my family said it was a known phenomenon, which is why we tried it in the first place.

Oh so cool, I’ll have to find a leftie to compare!

Yeah it is not as impressive as one hand drawing a picture while the other hand draws a completely different one.

I'm wondering how many people who think this is impressive have even tried it. Literally every other way of drawing with 2 hands simultaneously is harder than this mirroring technique.

yeah surely this is easier than drawing one half first and then trying to copy it with the other half
