    Ever found yourself in a predicament where you don't have a pen, but you pretend like you are spinning anyway? Are you really spinning? Do you just look like an idiot? Thoughts?

    When I'm telling someone about Pen Spinning, I usually do that, but it looks stupid and in no way represents a pen so everyone just looks at me like, "wtf?"

    Haha. When I'm first learning a trick I might play it out with just my fingers a few times ;]

    Haha, I had no idea what to expect when I clicked on this thread based on the title. Anyway, I find myself craving my pen when I'm not spinning it or doing something else (like when I'm in class during a lecture). And I do sonic rise-like movements when talking about penspinning as a sort of sign language. Aside from all of that, I don't actually "spin" when there's nothing to spin. smile.gif

    Fake edit: Now that I think about it, I used to do TA movements when I spoke of penspinning. I guess as I learn tricks of increasing difficulty, I subconsciously favor them over my previously learned tricks. Neat.

    After reading this, I tried spinning an imaginary pen, but other then that, I don't think I've ever pretended to spin a pen. I almost always have a pen with me, and when I don't there's always somebody around me with a pen I can borrow. (And when I'm lucky they forget to ask for the pen back, and I get to keep it devildance.gif )

    You noe how the directors who make movies have this special computer where everything that colour ( say blue) is invisble?
    Spin a pen ( the colour that you cant see) and see what it looks like ^^) that would be so awesome

    Or a lightsaber biggrin.gif

    Well... I found out that spinning an air pen is much harder for the fingers to move right, cause there is nothing supporting their movements... But you cannot fail, so yeah, air-spinning ftw biggrin.gif

    have you guys ever noticed how your fingers look when you spin?
    like if you were to video yourself spinning, then edit the pen out, but still "spin"

    I don't know that you could really recreate the movements all that accurately without the resistance of a pen there.

    It looks really awkward when you bust without a pen. Go try it.

    I never do. Because I have before, it just felt so weird. I'm pretty sure my fingers were moving a lot faster and more than they had to. Plus, I always end up pretending to do tricks I can't. dry.gif
