    The final (at least until the autumn) version of the trick book will be done in a couple of weeks. (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?mjzimzjzjyd). If you're having trouble opening it, change the file extension from .xlr to .xls. wink.gif

    What would like to see in the trick book before the final release? How would you guys like it released? In pdf, spreadsheet, plain text... ?

    You can tick more than one option in the poll. This is intentional, tick all the ones that apply to you.

    video links would make it awesome (even more awesome than it is now)

    I would like a rough difficulty rating for each trick
    +1

    Updated video links would be nice.

    I'd agree video links (eso's youtube tutorials etc.) as well as a estimated trick difficulty rating (possible from 1-10, 1 being easy and 10 being Extremely Difficult)

    difficulty is a very subjective term here

    Some people may find haitua's hard, some people will learn it in 2 tries.

    True but I was thinking more of the general difficulty.
    Even though some people can get haituas fast, most of us can't so it's a difficult trick.
    But I think the hard or subjective part would be to determine the depth of the difficulty like which trick is harder or on a scale of 1 to 10 difficulty.

    I was thinking more like 1 - 5 difficulty. Some kind of rough guide. TA/Sonic = 1 something like ringaround/basketball spin = 3 and then pinkyspin = 5. Just really to give a rough idea. Now not everyone will find a trick scored 4 harder than one scored 3, but generally, they will. Of course, if there's a difference of 2 points, there should be no-one finding it easier. For example, no-one is going to learn a ringaround faster than a thumbaround.

    That means many tricks of different difficulties will have the same ratings?

    well json a ringaround is an around done in your ring finger... and an around is just when you dont move your hand at all but use your finger to spin the pen around your finger. he was being sarcastic since it is very hard to learn.
