Pen spinning

Ever sit at your desk at work or school or whatever and twirl a pen in your fingers? I do all the time. Well I bet neither of us can do it like this:

Great site, the url they show at the end. Lots of videos of crazy **** with cards like this.

I can get a pen to travel up and down my fingers, but I've never gotten very good at it... Apparently some pens are weighted better for this than others.

The second one reminded me of why I hate promo movies on the internet.

Stupid names for everything that are SUPPOSED to be cool.... but really just suck. Oh, and the announcerish dude always sounds the same...

I think that's the first thing I've ever seen on the internet that has genuinely shocked me in regard to the fact that it actually has a following.

I mean seriously, a community of pen-spinners?!

Years back, when I was still at school, there was once a substitute teacher for a while, who was just a crazy pen-spinner. Probably not quite as good as that guy in the video, but not much lesser. After he amazed the whole class with his m4d 5kills, I have tried to main some very rudimentary level of pen spinning skills, myself.

I want to pen spin, but I don't really have the dexterity for it.

/me goes to the shop and buys gloves of +4 dexterity

I was refering to the fact that the name was corny.

So what should they call it? 'Crazy cut with cards balanced on top of fingers and snap at end'? :p

I would call it a card trick and leave it at that.

One needs not to cool up the fact that the only talent they have in life is cardplay. Take it to Vegas, fools.
