A while ago I was introduced to a video of a guy spinning a pen in various ways around his hand and being the power-nerd I am, I looked into it. I found some tutorials and got practising. It's taken me about 6 months on and off to learn what I can do atm. This is what I'm good at, the other stuff I can't do confidently;

The hardest to get perfect for me was defo the last one, took me ages to get it into a smooth transition. It's a good laugh though. :)

Odd but looks like something to consume time.

ye that happend to me when I started ALOT. you expect to have to push it proper hard but if youre doing it right it's the momentum of the pen making it move, not you swinging it round madly :P

I'd get so annoyed with the pen I'd probably end up breaking it in half.

I can do the thumb around quite confidently and can get the reverse thumb around right on occasion. My friend got me doing it. He can do the thumb around and reverse perfectly so he can just continually do forward-reverse-forward-reverse etc. lol He can do it with his other hand almost just as good as well so it looks good when he odes it with both at the same time. Forward then reverse.
