    Idk... =\ I think it looks a little cooler than staff spinning and you'd have to deal with air resistance and whatnot. Yes they get paid to do it. SO obviousily theyve left all us penspinners in the dark... huh.gif

    That was intense , i can imagine him letting the sign slip out and go onto the road. Then cause a huge crash. If i ever get a job like that, im gonna have to learn it. Palm Spin at the end was pro.

    i think he's consistent enough to barely ever let it drop
    while pen spinners film things many many times before we get it right, everything he does is first time and he has to get it right and not let it fall

    pretty cool stuff though, i've never seen one yet
