Pen Spinning!

Sfsr

Hello! One of the things I do in my spare time is spinning pens/pencils :] There are quite a lot of people (mostly quite young >__>) doing this. It's basically moving a pen very rapidly between your fingers. I know! I'll show you a video.

I'm Sfsr as you might have figured out :]

Anyways, if you want to learn, it's not that hard. So give it a try! Here are some links to help on the way:

Haha, wow, that's different. Maybe I'll try to learn it so I can freak people out if I get bored in class. Wink

I've never seen that before. I thought you were just talking about flicking the pen back and forth between your index and middle fingers, haha. That's what I do. Razz

wow, it's great video,
I think pen spinning is very difficult, but many of my friends know how to do it

Wow I've always wondered how to do this kind of thing. Thanks for the links, I'm checking it out now.

that is pretty amazing! I knew of people who would spin their pens around back and forth, but nothing like that!!! Maybe you were super bored in all your lectures / classes to be able to devote enough time to get to that kind of pen spinning level! Laughing

wow... how do I try to learn from that when all I see is a blur?

that's cool, I'm gonna give it a try

I think the appropriate reaction here is –“cool!” That looks like a really neat trick. I bet the improved dexterity in your hands stimulates areas in your brain which in turn improves you as a person in a holistic way?

this is tough.. any advice on how to get to where you are, sfsr?
