Hhmm, didn't work for me either, though I am capable of tickling myself, if it's on accident, lol. Interesting though......

My God!!! That hand looks like it's trying to hurt someone! I thought "softly" was the key. Didn't work on me either.

It had no effect on me. Oh well.

Worked on me a little too

The more intensely I focused on mimicing the hand movement the better it worked. Its nothing like having a real tickler of course. A little gasp and a giggle thats all.

Try this -

Lie down on your bed - darkened room. Close your eyes. Put you right hand behind your head. Make sure that your arms are bare. Slowly and lightly trace along your tricep muscle - as lightly as possible, from elbow to underarm. Small circles under your underarm. Continue, as lightly as you possibly can, for 2 minutes. If available, try a feather or q-tip as well. I am primarily a 'ler, but this tickles me like crazy! Although, I have yet to make myself laugh spontaneiously from this, the tickling feeling drives me crazy.

It's a nice idea, but completely illogical. You're still consciously dictating the movement of your hand. From the time your brain registers the visual cue on screen, sends the signal to your hand, and sends the "ticklish" sensation back, your cerebellum and sensory cortex are already well aware of the impending stimuli, so it shouldn't have any effect.

Worked for me a little bit. But thats only because I'm ridiculously ticklish in certain spots anyway.
Overall, I don't think it's much good.
