The man who talks backwardssteemCreated with Sketch.

in linkshare •  8 years ago 

This is about Kurt Quinn, who has perfected the bizarre skill of talking backwards. It's much harder than it sounds - indeed it's more of an illusion rather than actually physically saying words in reverse (which would be impossible).

Check out Kurt Quinn's channel here - https://www.youtube.com/user/kurtTHEquinn/videos

Destin from SmarterEveryDay really puts Kurt's unique skill to the acid test. Fascinating stuff!

PS: Anyone else think English backwards sounds more like Russian? :) Pretty apt, given the whole Russian reversal line of jokes!

@liberosist very killer find. I'd be curious to see if he could sing words backwards. Based on the cognitive loading experiments, if he was not playing an instrument, I'd be curious to see if his brain could adapt to that and still permit him to sing backwards.

I was wondering the same when he picked up the banjo. I guess that's much more difficult as one sings to the rhythm, and the rhythm can't be backwards. Unless he learns how to play backwards too...

It's interesting :))) @liberosist

Holy shit that was incredible!!

Greetings, @liberosist! Good post. Keeps me interested.

unbelievable who humans are made .If we put our minds to it . All thanks to the almighty.
one question thoooo -------does he also think backwards to ? lol (sorry for the pun---------)

Haha, nah, you can see he has to process all of that and say it backwards. It's not instinctive like language, it's a skill. He's not speaking as much as making sounds...

yes Understood lets hope he makes more money than me on steemit (lol)
form a joker

That's incredible. It gives a new meaning to aixelsyd. Some people with "issues" are quite talented.

True, though talking backwards is purely an acquired skill :)
