Does anyone else do book spinning??? much less popular than pen spinning but just as cool, and just as many tricks, however there is no larege internet community of book spinners or even a database of all the tricks... oh well...

Just as many tricks? All I've seen is clockwise spin and counterclockwise spin on different fingers. I don't see how book spinning can have nearly as many tricks as pen spinning.

It does, because book spinning can involve the whole body, try spinning the book one way and flipping it over and continueing to spin it the other way, hand to hand, anything you can imagine really... but since there arent any "names" for the tricks or description of them it's kind of a oh I just spin the book and toss it maybe fer a lot of people...

i can spin on both hands, in both directions, and can do aerials on my right hand...... that's about all i can do..
i seriously don't know what else can be done, except maybe hand transfers and stuff.
but i've seen some chinese juggle pots and plates with lots of stuff though. -

Maybe palm spins? Thumbspins? Handarounds? Wristarounds? Baktaps maybe?

start with something small like a childrens book then move on to heavier things, only problem with book spinning is that you cant do in school,
i tried and my teacher took away my textbooks -

try nice small ish square cushions , there are plenty of tutorials on how to spin it on youtube... cushions work better because your finger makes a little dent in the cushion so your finger doesnt slip as easily...

Book spinning?
It used to be quite popular during my primary school days.
But not anymore. Tried it, but not very fun.
Still, pen spinning is the best! -

i started spining books 2 year and so far my teachers get realy anoyed
and i can spin it on all of my right hand fingers and nuckes and i can toss it up 3 ft in air XD
but i still like PSing a lot more even though i can barely do any thing with a pen.
........and how can you even mod books?? -

lol! modding books!
just cram the maths text book with postman pat goes to the farm and you get a super mod!
i was tempted to say the bible... but i thought against it
and the minus about bookspinning is that you can't spin inconspicuously during class
either you're reading the heart of darkness, or you're spinning it
atleast with ps you can "pretend" to "be thinking" whilst spinning
but yeah, i know a guy who does it
fun game, go to the library, and spin every book XD -
Date: Sun, Dec 14 2008 00:44:27
I guess tray spinning is similar to this
At work I spin them on my fingers when it's not busy, its really easy though, there a little pointy thing that holds your finger in one place lol -
Date: Sun, Dec 14 2008 02:49:46
it looks cool but not as cool as psing
its sorta hard when you first start but i guess you get better at it
so far, im failing -

lol I can do it but it's not that fun IMO. especially if it pisses the hell out of your teacher. It took me 2-3 months to learn >_< I'm a slow learner but one night I suddenly got it... and it went from there xD I can only do counter-clockwise and tosses and stuff... book spinning has the potential to grow though... you could do palmspins... knuckle spins... bounces... anything that involves spinning I guess xD

lmao! it took me 2 years to get the hang of book spinning, because i was using my spanish book for 2 years! then... i tried my binder, OMFG but you just have to be careful of papers that are loose.
p.s this wasnt suppose to show that book spinning is hard.. its pretty easy, start with a light 1/2" binder. its somewhat like doing a charge, think back to when you were learning a charge.. how the timing had to be right. -

that's the main problem most beginners face-- just reset your finger to the middle quickly. by doing this continuously it will keep the book spinning on your finger. once you find the exact center you can let the book spin freely on the tip of your finger.
tip: aim not to create a circular motion with your finger, but a straight, horizontal motion -

-
Date: Wed, Dec 30 2009 02:27:03
Its like pizza spinning kinda? You take a book and you spin it on your finger like a basketball =]. (it takes different type of displacing weight to get it to spin correctly however...

Lol, no it doesn't. PenSpinning can also involve the body, so there are like a million more penspinning tricks than bookspinning -

Way to increase your post count and not contribute to the thread.
Btw, learn proper grammar before you spam. -

He wouldn't stop if you inform him that what he did was a way to increase post count.
Thus, this totally is a way to increase your post count and not contribute to this thread.
Why not PM him instead? You also want to increase your "post counts"
You just want to show people that you are "awesome"
IMO
