Not the pen I usually use, the cap broke so I had to order some new parts and a few new premade pens. This was just an RSVP I had lying around, unmodded. Still not a bad pen.
Most of my friends think it's cool, it's gotten me into a lot of conversations with people, and I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "I wonder what else he can do with his hands".
If you're wondering why I went into the bathroom to do it, it's because the camera was shit and I needed as much light as possible.
fuck i want to learn this awesome useless thing. how should i start?
I want to learn to do cool shit like in the first video.

Around a year, I think. And I'm really not that good anyway.

[QUOTE=Whats This?v4;27601375]I find this is easier to do with a drum stick. But I'm a drummer so maybe it's just more natural.

A 5B specificity, the weight feels right.[/QUOTE]
It is a lot easier with a drumstick. I'm a drummer too, so I got a few things like the finger pass immediately. But still, it's not nearly as practical carrying a drumstick around as a pen.
Once there was this weird guy with dreadlocks on the bus and he had headphones on and he was spinning his pen to the music and moving and dancing & stuff. I'm sure he felt like a boss but it actually looked really weird.
This is where practing with butterfly knives comes in.

Agreed, I've tried to do pen spinning but it just doesn't work for me. I think pens are to small, and indeed, 5B drumsticks are the perfect weight to do tricks. And to play drums too.
Didn't Dragon make a thread on this way back when
This is awesome, I gotta try it sometime
the guys from the vw commercial are pro
i can do thumb around
sonic rise (and sonic)
charge and shadow
what do i do now
I can do:
Thumb around
Reverse thumb around
Fingerless thumb around (80% of the time)
Sonic
Charge
But I can't learn anything else
:B
This is to FUCKING HARD when ever I do the Thumbaround it fly's in the air like a fucking helicopter.
The art of meat spinning
when attempting this i drop my pencil at a rate of 103.5 dpm(drops per minute)
"The art of penis spinning"
why is this so intriguing for me.....
I can do thumbaround, fingerpass, thumbaround reverse, backaround, charge and some of my own tricks.
Thumbaround and thumbreverse is incredebly useful whenever I work with tablet - superfast and supercool brush to eraser switch.
So far, since I started on the day this thread was made, I can do TAs, fingerless TAs, thumb spins, a sonic every once in a while, and the neo sonic. I can't do any wiper tricks :saddowns:

yea its pretty annoying to learn, but once you do you can do it in your sleep
I've been trying this for years, anyone knows what is the most suitable pen size?
What's a easy way of doing the thumbaround? I keep flicking it. :/
I'm le shit at this

That would make sense if the thumbaround and TA reverse weren't both 360-degree spins.. You're doing them wrong.
Unless I'm missing something about tablets and erasers.
Fuck I want to do this. What kind of pen should I get?
