Unfortunately, the only multitouch gestures Apple's software recognizes are two finger swipes left or right. The multitouch shell of the Magic Mouse is as sensitive and responsive as the iPhone's screen it's capable of sensing five or more fingers (if you can fit them on the surface) and distinguishing between light and heavy touches.
