    I am not sure if this has been asked before, but what are some good tricks that connect well. Im trying to learn how to combo, I know enough tricks, I just don't know what good tricks can come after them. for example, reverse thumbaround to sonic 23? any more? (Nothing continuous preferably)

    Look at the tricks and see if they need a direction change in the rotation of the pen, if it changes the rotational direction, then it is going to be harder to link smooth.

    Ex sonic 23-12> charge rev 12 is a bad linkage, it will be choppy unless you move you hand where as sonic 23-12>charge 12 will go together nicely

    basically twisted sonic, TA, pass rev, around, sonic, shadow will make easy natural linkages together, there are a lot more, but those are a few to get you started.

    Just make sure you look at it and think what you have to do to keep the pen moving the same speed in between tricks, sometimes you need to flip you hand to make tricks that wouldn't normally go together work.

    I agree with awesome.

    I agree with awesome.

    EDIT :

    err : both posts are an error, sorry >< I was writing a long post and I had a problem with my computer... Is there any way for me to delete my own posts ? I have not seen anything like that...

    And what I was trying to say :

    There is some simple tricks who can be really easily linked with anothers.
    for example :

    twisted sonic 23-12 => neosonic 12-T1
    neosonic 12-T1 => fingerless thumbaround reverse T1-T1
    thumbaround reverse => backaround
    twisted sonic 23-12 (palm down) => thumbaround T1-T1
    sonic 23-12 (palm down) => thumbaround T1-T1 (old name : acme revolution)
    neosonic harmonic
    backaround => middlebackaround
    sonic reverse => thumbaround

    As awesome said, try not to change too much the rotation of the pen.
    For example : If you want to do "sonic reverse 12-23 => sonic reverse 23-34 => sonic 34-23 => sonic 23-12" (= "sonic fall => sonic rise" = "sonic fall harmonic") in a combo, you should do "(palm side) sonic fall => (palm down) sonic rise", that should not change the direction of the rotation of the pen.

    A little combo made with simple tricks :
    sonic 34-23 => twisted sonic 23-12 => neosonic 12-T1 => neosonic reverse T1-12 => sonic reverse 12-23 => thumbaround harmonic => backaround

    Thank you Lindor. I understand not changing the direction of spin, Im just not creative enough to see what can link together.

    Two tricks connecting weel ?

    I think it's a question of style.
