About half a year ago, I got addicted in 'pen spinning'. I started doing various tricks/combos just to waste time, after viewing this video:

I have custom-made pens made specially for pen-spinning, and I can also do and name quite a lot of tricks myself. Some people call me a 'no-life pen spinner'..

And the crazy bit to this is that there's things like the..
"Pen spinning association of Japan".. O_O

Just wondering, but do are any of you guys here addicted in pen spin/twirling?

I can only do the normal spin forward and back around your thumb.

yeah, i can only do the basic too (the one double player can do). and since i seldom do it, i seldom can keep it going for a long long time.

Haha.. there's a given name to that, called the 'thumb-around' and 'reverse thumb-around'. I had it going around and back my thumb for a whole period at school once.. and I find it funny how I never get told off by any of my teachers, whilst others get detained/suspended for swinging their ruler..
