Tricks & Combos / [project][1.23] Foreign Objects in Pen Spinning

    Foreign Objects/Bodies/Items can make PS a little bit more intresting. Many things can be done with using them. Few things I've seen is Rubiks Cube Spin (12ve), Mouse Spin (Many), etc.
    They can be used for many things, like Magic, Records, Appeal, etc.

    Record example: Mouse Spin 32.5 (by Almad28)
    Appeal example: Rubiks Cube Spin - Somewhere in that (by 12ve)
    Magic: No video yet but I've thought of things already. Wristbands and watches can be used to great extent for Magic. example: Wiper Rever T1 > Put it through the strap of your watch/wristband > Stretch fingers to show that the pen has disappeared > Do some weird finger movement and pull it out of there. I'll try to get a video as soon as possible.

    Cool I thought of something like this using a sleeve of a sweater not to long ago, It would probably be pretty easy to figure out but look cool initially, an advantage a shirt brings is that you can show both hands completely, but a watch or wrist band would probably look a little more normal. IDK I'll make a vid

    EDIT: Here is one, it definatly needs to be more refined and polished before presentation, but you get the idea

    Dathroat once did a triangle pass on his watch and let it spin.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEBPDArxNs0 1:00 there is a magic trick with foreign objects
    and Bonkura was the master in general of foreign objects (rope, fans, mats, cellphones, forks, magnets)

    do you have a plan for researching this? it's a VERY open ended topic

    Yes, it is to research more use of foreign objects for 'more' efficiency in PS. 'Tapping' stuff is not really using foreign objects.
    This was made to research on conceptual ideas using them (eg: Bonkura).

    s777 made a turtle spin =)
    Objetcs are principally used for spin; you can also make continuous arounds with a toothbrush (I made cont back rev x250 with it =) ). But I am not really sure that has to be develloped, that is not a concept, this is most like something curious you can put in a video...

    it can be developped into a concept if there is smooth integration between real spinning and object spinning.

    videos like the mouse spin seems stupid because its isolated from real pen spinning, so it doesn't look like real pen spinning at all, but if you can use objects while spinning then the effect is very good.

    BTW, this topic should only talk about small objects,

    for walls and table, there are seperate topics (in my opinion, the latters have much more immediate potential than any other objects)

    I honestly think that this is too wide in general. Like Outsmash's ass because of all the gay sex he's had.
    try focusing on a single foreign object (like rope or a turtle) and find the possibilities with that. but even thats super open ended.
    and define "'more' efficiency in PS" because i don't see this plan for research feasible.

    i'm just confused on where you plan on going with this, considering the possibilities are legitimately endless.

    It hasn't been done before and would be hard but things like mouse spin could be integrated in with spin transfers, like neobak ~ mouse spin.

    I am interested in why you think walls and stuff have more immediate potential, Bonkura did a lot of stuff with small objects, as for tables and walls I can think of isolation things (I think thats what its called where people "pin" the pen to the table and rotate it), rolling but thats boring, deflections like MA rev release ~ wall bounce > catch. You must have more ideas them me on the subject.

    i agree that tables and walls have more potential
    i dont think bonkura's roll was boring at all
    also, pyralux has already developed some table concepts which i've demonstrated (table isolation)

    Video -> Full View • Download


    and as walls and tables are essentially the same thing 90 degrees over, i'd have to say walls have just as much potential

    because it has already been shown in combos how walls and tables can be used, so the immediate concern with those is to expand on that. look at some WT09 you can see some examples of table use.

    other objects have only been sporadically so it's further on the development track.

    like i said, keep all the table/wall discussion in the project "external points of contact"

    To discuss about the possibilities with different objects that can be used in PS. You can open seperate topics after that (on invidual objects) if you wish.

    Dude thats the point, notice how it says project right in the title

    We make topics for specific things like you said tongue.gif

    actually outsmash wrongly called it topic so i renamed it.

    Table can be sloped or have other objects on them too. Walls are just 90 degrees and you can't really put anything on them either.

    On that note, table spinning seems to be fairly large in potential? Could we not start a topic on that?

    there is already a topic on table spinning.

    I'm not a fan of using foreign objects in pen spinning, probably because I haven't really seen it done well. Most people just grab some random object and do some top spin with it, no solid transition. And banging your pen against a wall is neither creative nor cool. I find it rather lame, but that's just me.

    I have experimented with the idea nonetheless. I've been able to do top spins with chopsticks on a smooth table, but it's hard to do the same with a pen mod. I've also spun the pen like a top, but it's hard to get a large number of rotations.

    Chopsticks xD that brings up something cool Kari Chan did in a promo or somehting, chopstick charge? If people can spin with chopsticks, as in hold chopsticks as if you were gonna eat and do some tricks, it might be a cool skill. Like, 1p1h2c (1 pen 1 hand 2 chopsticks)

    I also thought about using foreign objects as an ending. For example, let an aerial drop into a cup. I'll do a video soon.

    Ohh, okay, I didn't know that, sorry. But I think that this thing has way more potential, its underused. Why keep a combo end in a hand? I think this is worthy of a collab. There are many variations to do this... For example: Dropping the Pen in something liquid (this adds a humorous effect^^) - using different things to drop the pen in - there are many possibilities, not only with endings, but with foreign objects at all.
    There are also many differences in the difficulty of the object where the pen is dropped in, for example, its way harder to drop the pen into the bag in a PDS pencase then dropping it into a cup.
    I think this should be promoted, the concept has something genius. We should collect some more ideas and/or examples.

    That's not much. You're just letting it fall into something.

    Find ways to use objects for pen spinning.

    Endings can be done very easily. No point just 'dropping' the pen into some(any)thing. Using it would be more genious. eg: I do a TA > air > Bed of nails is cooler than anything you mentioned but still the same thing.

    Utilizing different objects in pen spinning using different methods is more benefitial. Like strings or cables, etc. Ex: Using a basketball to spin a pen will be really hard but it involves the usage of the basketball to spin the pen not just throwing it onto the basketball.

    Hope you get my point.

    Thats what I mean. There are almost endless possibilities to use foreign objects, it just has not been researched so much yet. I like your Idea with the basketball, tho its extremely hard. If this is possible, it would be nice to implement a mouse spin into a combo for example, tho also very hard. This needs much precision with releases etc. As everyone knows, the thing with the strings has been done by bonkura very well.
