 Pencil Flipping |
 |
Is anyone here good at flipping a pencil/pen around their thumb or in their fingers? A friend showed me at school and I've been practicing. It's pretty fun.

I'll try to get a video up soon, I can't find a video for this particular one online.

Are you talking about where the pen/pencil just spins around your thumb and lands back where it started? If you are then you may want to check out pen spinning I believe it's called. Someone posted about it a while back but just google it and you'll find some cool stuff.

Oh cool I guess i've only searched for it under pencil flipping. Yeah and I guess there are other variations too. Something to occupy me in class.

Yeah I do a bit of pen spinning myself. Nothing extreme though. I always wanted to learn pen spinning just because it looked pretty damn sweet. So I picked up the thumbaround and a half decent sonic and I thought I was all pimp and stuff and then I saw some other kid doing a sonic (but I didn't know it was a sonic because mine was so shitty looking). So later on I realize it was a sonic he was doing but he was using the charge technique which made it flow nicer. So then I learned to do it that way and then it seemed all of a sudden kids everywhere around me were doing thumbarounds! Well, not many but at least one in each of my classes.
Currently I can do a thumbaround, sonic, half decent charge, fingerpass, some other move I made up which is sort of like a sonic and a finger pass combined which links perfectly into a thumbthumbaround, and another move I thought I made up but I saw it in fatty's vid just now.
I know that's nothing close to extreme but I'm better than anyone at my school currently as far as I know 
I'm currently trying to learn the reverse thumbaround. Can't seem to catch it right...
But I'm more interested in learning bookspinning right now! I only began practicing it last week and made a little progress. Can anyone here do that and give me some pointers?

with the reverse, just remember that it takes very little thumb force to get it to spin back. dont over do it, the faster you spin it backwards, the harder it is to catch.
also, i find it easier to do the reverse, straight after the normal thumbaround. its just in a natural feeling position.

Woah, never thought of actually searching the net for penspinning tricks but here I am. XD Just learned them by watching my seatmate in any class and then trying to do it myself, getting ballpens confiscated in the process.. Good thing about penspinning and coin tricks (not poker chips) is that the teacher can't confiscate them.
Nice find!

But i think poker chips will take off soon because more and more people are getting into poker, and they will want to know how to do the tricks they see on tv. And then that's where this site jumps in hehehe
