    I've noticed in a few of Bonkura's older videos that he did tricks with a loop of string (it reminded my of yo-yoing whip tricks).

    Does anyone know what the string is getting caught on when he was doing these tricks? or how he does it at all? huh.gif

    he has the clips bent up so the string would get caught on them. i remeber scott did something like this.

    Actually I believe bonkura has some sort of a hook to each ends of his pens. that's how he can throw the pen and catch it with the rope in the air.

    Scott put the string under the pen cap.

    i don't think bonkura had a hook at the end of his pen.. the string catches the pen by the middle of the cap.

    i think he said something about hooks that are usually part of curtains or something..

    Yeah, he has hooks that he attaches to the ends of his pen. He even posted a picture of them.

    Honestly... I think everyone gets this idea at some point.
    I tried it before I even heard it from anyone else, and I don't really think it has much potential.

    Everything with the string just tends to look sloppy.

    However "creative" this may be, I don't like it at all.. Anyways, I'd love to see this awesomely performed by someone, but I doubt that is possible.
