Pen Tricks..
 
Ok, this shit is driving me crazy. This girl in one of my classes last semester used to do all these tricks with her pen, such as twirling it around her thumb. Now, I've tried.. and tried some more, and I CANNOT get this to work. I even looked at a tutorial online, but no help. Can anyone do this? If so.. what should I try and do differently?


Oh, and here is a link to what I'm talking about..


And here is a page to videos of all the different tricks.. I think they're dope.

self 02-03-04 04:24 PM

Lmao.

You know you can't write anything decent when...

Harlem's Finest 02-03-04 04:25 PM

Lmao.. good topic..

I've tried doing the thing where you roll a coin over the top of your hand.. I think it was in Lethal Weapon at one time...
Looks dope.. had it a few times.. 1 outta 10 maybe..

RythmicTendicies 02-03-04 04:25 PM

Damn...



I agree, the dude needs a hobby and a woman.. but I still wish I could learn that damn thumb trick. It's supposed to be one of the easiest ones. I've thrown my pen on my floor more times in the past 20 minutes, than I have my entire life.

Envy Styles 02-03-04 04:31 PM

I Can Do The First One In The Tutorial

Lethargic 02-03-04 04:31 PM

I did the pen twirl one 1 out of every 10 times successfully...don't look at me for tips, lol.

Those were dope though.

self 02-03-04 04:33 PM

Maybe you should try and write something...

Practice that. ;)

shiznit 02-03-04 04:33 PM

was that a good excuse for not paying attention in class?

RythmicTendicies 02-03-04 04:34 PM

^Wher've you been..?^

shiznit 02-03-04 04:35 PM

Everywhere But Here.

Envy Styles 02-03-04 04:35 PM

I Can Do It Everytime
:)

kgm 02-03-04 05:02 PM

Try using the same motion that you use to snap your fingers. I can do the top two, and my own variation of the second one with ease.

The End 02-03-04 05:16 PM

I stopped thinking about it, and then tried it again.. and it worked! Now I do it 3/4 times..

Firstly, I was waiting for Chrit to do his.

Secondly, the topic of the track really isn't my sort of thing anyway.

Thirdly, you know the fact that I can now twirl a pen around my thumb is sexy.


:sex:

Edicius 02-03-04 05:35 PM

Really theres a site for this? lmfao...i rather write w/ a pen than start a circus-act, but it looks nice.

Feeble Minded 02-03-04 05:47 PM

Mr.Christensen 02-03-04 05:50 PM

im dope with a baton..

did i just say,.. FUCK

well yea, doing Tae Kwon Do made me dope with a staff...and i RULE with swords
so but my finger dexterity is sub par

Lethargic 02-03-04 06:21 PM

^Tae Kwan Do has nothing to do with weapons....that would be a seperate weapons class the school is teaching....

Lethargic - Resident Mixed Martial Artist, lol.

Mr.Christensen 02-03-04 06:24 PM

let me elaborate
while taking Tae kwon Do i also took some weapons classes
also offered by the school

KytoKhouang 02-03-04 06:28 PM

Its all concentration. I'm not sure if any of you guys watch the World Poker Tour and the World Series of Poker, Doin' the stuff with the chips and shit is tough. I can do one pen thing and thats the one where you push down with your birdy finger and it rolls up around your thumb..

Now that I have wasted time trying to do the damn tricks myself, I understand your frustration END!

I have come to a conclusion based on the girls looks.

IS the girl in your class ugly? Because if she is, then that might explain the extreme finger dexterity! :thumbup:

Solgooberdier 02-03-04 07:10 PM

I always wanted to learn.

LoL, no.. she wasn't ugly. And I think I'm really getting the hang of it. I haven't through my pencil in awhile. When I mess up now, it's just on the 'catching' part.

bouncedoggydog 02-03-04 07:56 PM

^ Well there goes my theory, but I am glad that someone can do the damn trick.

I can't!

*Snaps pencil in half and screams*

Accelerate 02-03-04 08:02 PM

^So totally ditto.
I can't catch the damn thing, or if not, I do it too hard and I send it Flying...ErrrrRRRRR

Lirael One 02-03-04 08:09 PM

Don't be mad End..Practice makes Perfect..But this is irritating as hell seeing as the floor catches it better.

I'm not aggrivated, as I've gotten pretty decent at it. It's just, when I try to spin it fast like I've seen other people do, it gets too hard to catch properly.

Simile 02-03-04 09:05 PM

this is proabably the best topic i've ever seen...

I dont even know how to make the pen spin through all your fingers...but that is my life goal...

I plan on perfecting this, then I will try that trick next. My goal is to learn all the 'fundamentals' on that site.
