A man born without any collarbones has an incredible party trick – clapping his shoulders together with ease.
Corey Bennett, from Indiana, US, has an incredibly rare condition called cleidocranial dysplasia which can result in babies being born without collarbones.
It can also cause short stature and developing extra teeth, or no teeth at all.
The birth prevalence is approximately one in 1 million and there are only 1,000 recorded cases in medical studies, according to rarediseases.org.
Corey has been educating people on his TikTok channel about the condition and has created a video series called "shoulder clapping til I’m famous".
In one of the clips, he demonstrates his amazing ability to clap his shoulders together as quickly and easily as people can clap their hands.
Because he doesn't have collarbones, there is nothing to obstruct his shoulders from meeting in front of his chest and the move has impressed viewers on the video-sharing app.
One fan commented: "Dude that’s madly awesome."
"Be class at getting through a packed club, pointed out another.

Someone else said: "Wow took me by surprise."
Corey told LADbible: "I was bullied most of my life for being short and having bad teeth and a big head.
"I have embraced this condition because it's really awesome – even with cleidocranial dysplasia I am still able to do everything."
Corey said people with the same extremely rare condition have gotten in touch to thank him for raising awareness and sharing a message of body positivity.
