Does raising eyebrows constantly and moving ears back and forth raise intracranial pressure?

Raising eyebrows constantly and moving ears back and forth is a great party trick. But it does not raise intracranial pressure since it involves only contracting muscles on the outside of the skull.

Unless you strain down or hold your breath, your muscular activities over the skull will have no effect on intracranial pressure dynamics.
