Original trick composer: yichen123 I added some different words though
All the workers can do it, just stack the workers then use gather commands towards opponent base's mineral lines. But majorly for terran, as terran doesn't has warp gate or speed zerglings, in other words the reinforcement is slow.
Next is the list of steps, 1.Wall your base, then group scvs and click a mineral patch outside your base. This skill is usually seen in a zerg's game when double bunker or triple pylon takes place.
2.Depot down, can you count the scv number? (not by the control group display)
3.Click the opponent's base 's mineral patch, when time is right, command your workers to do their holy works.
Purpose of this trick, anti scouting and more mindsets.+ Show Spoiler +
(There can be observers over your head, overlord hide in somewhere but you can't hit them, stalker, worker, zergling control the towers. You can hide your scv numbers by stack them and fool opponent as this is ONE scouting scv)

You first have to make something of a wall-in so that your workers can't leave the base. Then click on a mineral patch outside your base (any, the natural will do). The workers will attempt to go there but will get stuck because of the wall. Since the workers have a gather command they can stack up on eachother, which means you get the tight stack you see in the pictures. Then lower a depot in the wall and command your workers around.
You can also spam click your own mineral patches till they all stack up on one of them, just be fast enough to click your opponents minerals before they spread out.
"(Observers over your head, overlord hide in somewhere but you can't hit them, stalker, worker, zergling control the towers.)"
How does this help against observers over your head? Of course you can't hit overlords, SCVs don't hit air. Stalker.... what? Worker... what? What does towers have to do with all SVCs moving as one?
Honestly, I have no idea what you mean, I feel like I'm being trolled.

I think he meaned that when you bring workers to a new base the enemy can´t count your workers so it look like you only have sent one so the enemy will be more likly to not attack your new base.

it's for when you wanna bitbybit someone but don't wanna show your scv train

Hm question, how does zerg and protoss do it? I remember this video/thread (with i think naruto music in background, cus of naruto's ability to clone or something...) where this zerg did this drone drill with the drones stacked up all neatly. But obviously they don't have something like depots to do this. Do they just right click gas geysers?
(Unlike the video above, the drones looked almost exactly like 1 drone. Maybe even more so than the SCVs shown above unless I'm remembering wrong.)

Yeah, that was a 7RR with a drone stack leading the way fighting a DT rushing player. You can view the video here:
I use a assimilator to stack 2 probes. Then I go to the opponent base and split in the fog of war in their base. Then I can plant pylons for a cannon rush while scouting with the other probe. It makes them feel safe while I get the building locations.
It is not fool proof but it provides a much more reliable way to place cannons.
