I have a buddy who is a varsity ref in my area that has done this for several years. He's mastered it.
One day, several years ago, we were working a youth weekend summer tournament together. I was giving him some crap about it so he challenged me to try it.
We didn't get more than a min or two into the game and the whistle drops right out of my mouth, bounces off my leg and slides across the floor as I run to the reporting area following a foul call.
