You probably won’t be able to learn the tricks by watching this video, but there are plenty of tutorials out there that explain the tricks separately, just search youtube.
Basic tricks:
1. Thumbaround: The first trick many pen spinner learn, i do the normal version then the reverse, when one does normal and reverse fluently after each other it’s called Thumbaround Harmonic
2. Sonic: Named after Sonic the Hedgehog because of the fast execution. I first do a Sonic 23-12 that means the pen goes from the slot 23(middle-ring finger) to the slot 12(index-middle finger), that is one of the things you need to know when you want to write down combos and share them with other spinners; after that i do a Sonic 34-23 and a Sonic 23-12 again; then i do Sonic Rise Harmonics (you call it rise if the pen can move up the hand with multiple tricks of the same type, harmonic means that you do the normal-reverse combination (like in the Thumb-Around clip)); some sonics from a different angle
3. Infinity: Here i do two types: Infinity and Infinity Extended (when you do the same trick over and over again,that needs the trick to end in the starting position of course, you call it ‘continuous’)
4. Fingerpass: Very popular with drummers, it’s very easy to understand and you could just learn it from this video but to get to a decent smoothness and speed you need to practice it a lot.
(One of the basics is missing here: The ‘Charge’, that’s also a common drummer trick, the spinning object simply rotates between two fingers but it’s rather hard to do with a light object like a pen)
Advanced:
5. First i do a Backaround then a Fingerless Thumbaround Reverse and after that the hybrid of both tricks (Fingerless means that there is no push with a finger)
6. Thumbaround Extended: That trick is kind of the reverse of the hybrid from clip 5.
Combos:
7. This is a combo from Kam’s superhandz video, it consists of Halftap Continuous 7x and Thumbaround Continuous 7x
8. and 9. are freestyle
