* Le Mime from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/XiaolinChronicles Chronicles]]'' is capable of making invisible objects by simply miming them into existence. In ''Showdown'', it's shown though that these objects can actually be changed ever so slightly by others if they mime new characteristics on said objects. Such a case happened when Raimundo mimed that the perfectly solid box he and his fellow monks were in had bars.

Alex tries cutting the invisible rope with a miniature buzz saw, but the saw gets deflected and ends up shearing off some of Alex's hair instead.

Primarily a ComedyTrope, Your Mime Makes It Real is when a character mimes an action and this mime causes a real world effect to occur. For example, miming aiming a gun at someone and pulling the trigger causes an object to [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands go flying out of their hands]]. Or Miming peeling a banana and dropping the BananaPeel on the ground will cause someone [[SlipperySkid to slip over]].

A standard method for dealing with this is to mime a situation they must deal with, such as miming locking a door or sealing them in a glass box.
