Learn how to tie a cherry stem with your tongue, and you have a neat trick that you can show off exactly once before nobody cares.

Learn how to palm things, and you have an endless variety of surprising stunts that you can show off to your friends. They still won't care, but at least you won't have to listen to protests of "not that goddam cherry stem trick again!"

(My useless skill is magic tricks)
