Forgive my ignorance, but what the heck is a glottal trill?

My problem with flutter tonguing is that I cannot trill my tongue even
without the clarinet in my mouth. Does this mean I will not be able
to flutter tongue at all?

Also, what are everyone's opinions on multiple tonguing, circular breathing,
multiphonics, and other "avant garde" aspects of the clarinet? I haven't
met people that can do these things yet.
