Sit up straight in your chair.

 

Lift your right foot off the ground and move it in clockwise circles. Now, draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change directions.

 

LOLLYROFFLE!

It didn't work.

I suspect that either you don't know your left from right, clockwise from counter clockwise or you have a severe problems with your motor control skills.

It always works when I draw the number 6 in the air with my right hand.

 

Interesting. But how to explain it?

You could explain it by saying that the brain can only do one 'rotation' type motion in each half of your body at once. Although without any proof or mechanism, it's a fairly truistic explanation.

If you start the six in the middle rather than at the top, you won't get the whole conflict thing going on.

I can make one six without messing up, but no more after that.

Yeah, I think it depends on the way that you write a 6. If you start on the middle, and go clockwise, it won't happen. But, for people like me, I start at the top, and my leg has to change direction to write it.
