Stay with me….
My wife and I were traveling, and as a joke I said, “Okay Samantha, I’m tired. I know I said no witchcraft, but just this once you can twinkle your nose and make us be there.” We started trying to twitch our noses like Samantha on Bewitched and obviously couldn’t do it. We laughed, and she said that Elizabeth Montgomery couldn’t do it either, and I argued that she could. This was the ‘60s, so CGI didn’t exist. So my wife gets on Google and looks it up, and it turns out that Elizabeth Montgomery NEVER MOVED HER NOSE, IT WAS HER UPPER LIP THE WHOLE TIME!
I didn’t believe it. It COULDN’T be true. I’ve watch almost every episode growing up, and she twitched her NOSE. We went to YouTube, and, son of a gun, It was her upper lip. EVERY TIME. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
I don’t know anything anymore.
Similar: Twitching your ears is actually twitching the muscles at the back of your scalp which happens to make your ears move.
Yes when you move a thing the muscle that moves it is not on the thing.
Doubt. I can twitch my ears, both horizontally and vertically, and the muscles that move them feel much closer than the back/top of the scalp, about two inches from their base.
