Can you believe it?

Concordo com Lumen, é uma expressão brasileira típica. Dependendo do contexto, eu sugiro "can you believe it, would you believe that, etc...
Boa sorte, Veronica

How's that?

Esta é uma das expressões tipicamente brasileira para a qual vc não vai achar equivalente exato.

Outras possibildiades, dependendo de seu contexto:
Life ain't easy!
Such is life....

Algumas respostas estão mais ou menos no rumo certo, outras são COMPLETAMENTE despropositadas!

O sabista está querendo se mostrar e ao falar *É mole?*, pretende dizer que o que ele faz não é fácil de ser imitado.

Nesta linha você pode tb usar - talvez: Check this out!

agree Veronica La Falce : Depois dos esclarecimentos da Eneida, concordo, inclusive com o "check this out!"
