Looking for something unusual - cool "tricks" to learn.  Not so much
magic tricks, but just cool little tricks or stunts a person could
perform, perhaps as a good conversation starter.
 I stumbled on a neat site describing how to throw playing cards with
a lot of force and distance - I've gotten pretty good at that.
 I've also taught myself how to skip rocks really well - 15 skips is
my record, and I've been able to skip a good rock into and then out
of, the width of a huge reflecting pool near my home.
 So I'm looking for other, odd and interesting tricks a person could do.

Interesting stuff, but I was looking for a site with a selection of
different tricks, not necessarily including Zippo lighter tricks.
  Anything else?

Here is a book with some "hand tricks".  Are these the type of tricks
you are looking for?

Or is this the sort of thing you want?
