    I can help.

    First off, learn the fundamentals.

    Thumbaround
    fingerpass
    Charge
    Sonic

    Learn them from Eso on youtube.

    as glamouraz said, all the fundamental tricks are good to learn, i suggest learning thumbaround or charge as a first trick to learn.

    Yes these are all the best tricks a complete beginner should learn but remember to not rush through them. Take your time learning these as these form the base of the majority of pen spinning tricks.

    Do as everyone before me said:

    My thoughts:
    I personally believe that Thumbaround is the easiest to master.
    Sonic comes next I guess.
    While Fingerpass is easy to grasp, it's really hard to make it smooth. Therefore a lot of beginners tend to give up on Fingerpass (my experience)
    Charge was definitely the hardest of all of the fundamentals. If you are patient, you may start this earlier, I learned it last.

    Then the tricks Tushix suggested. I believe Twisted sonic is quite easy if you know the charge, so you may try that to learn that.

    Fundamentals rev are hard for me, you could learn them after learning the fundamentals, or learn something else before

    i learned a thumbaround first, then a sonic, now i'm learning a fingerpass but i can't do it smooth, and i think the charge is the hardest trick of the fundamentels.

    you should learn all the fundamentals, which is why we have a forum just for it.

    then you should go in the advanced section and look for the thread "what should i learn next"
