I have a surprisingly good knack for accents for someone who's lived in Birmingham (England) all his life.
I can do all sorts of American and Canadian accents, plus Northern (Scoucer, Geordie, Yorkshire, Scottish), Southern (Cockney, Estuary, London), West Country, Irish, South African, Russian, German... the list goes on.
I can alter my voice quite effectively too but oddly enough I struggle with direct impressions.

Ok here goes:
I subconsciously do the one about mimicing the accent of somebody I'm speaking to, get's me into a fair bit of trouble heh.
I'm an exceptional liar, and also have the ability to detect when somebody is lying. Mostly due to an understanding of one I can do the other.
I've got a knack for sneaking up on people. Intentional or not.
I'm excellent at shifting responsibility
I also have the previously mentioned low heart rate and blood pressure. This leaves me remarkably laid back in any situation, generally if I do get thrown off balance for whatever reason I regain my composure straight away.
I can make the clover with my tongue.
I have a photographic memory.
I tend to analyse several outcomes to any situation in seconds, I also tend to analyse a person within the first few minutes and judge what kind of person I think they are. In general my hunches are correct. I often tend to pre-empt conversations and think through my head responses to the responses I can figure I will get (In english: I can guess several things a person might say next in a conversation and come up with ways to respond to each of them before a person says anything, this let's me control a conversation -and- seems to make me quite good at chess)
A lot of my talents and habits seem to go hand in hand with one another which is nice for me

Holy crap! I can dislocate both of my shoulders and I can't do that...Yoshemo said:
I also have the ability to make people see my point of view in an argument. On second thoughts, that's awesome. World domination awaits!
I can twist my arms around 360 degrees. (In the sense that i can turn a doorknob around 360 degrees in a single turn kind of rotation.)
I can rip my arm off, then beat the holy bejeezus out of Uke with it.
Hi five if you understand the reference.
But fur realz, I can play the piano. I'm good enough that it can be impressive, but not good enough to make a living off of it.

I can strip the green bits of leaves of and just leave the stick in the middle 9/10 times, and I can also squirt water up to three meters.

I can move my ears backwards and forwards by themselves (as in no use of hands). My forehead also moves slightly with the ears, s o when anyone asks to see it they (of course) try and do it as well; they seem to think they'll be able to do it by raising their eyebrows up and down and wiggling their forehead like an a complete dick instead of actually trying to move their ears; hilarity ensues.
Interestingly my Dad can do it to, so maybe it's genetic?

I can write in Runes
I come across as so disarming to people that they tell me secrets and don't even realise they're doing it sometimes.
I can read and understand shakespeare wihout outside help. (I'm not sre if this counts as talent, it's just reading really, but other people seemed to struggle with it)
