    So I was looking in the wiki at the Demon's Around and I'm having trouble getting the notation and the actual spin & positioning of the pen. Is there a video of it anywhere?

    It helps to first know to do the devil's around and demon's sonic.

    Go watch Tohlz's Demon's/Devil's Video. Some of the titles are wrong, but Demon's Spin (now called Demon's Around) is correct.

    At the end of the Sonic 34-23, the pen goes around the middle finger.

    I changed the wiki article to hopefully make it make more sense.

    I know those two.

    EDIT: Okay! I get it now. Thanks for changing the wiki & for the vid, Sketch. happy.gif

    EDIT2: What's that hybrid at the end? It's too quick for me to tell what it is.

    SO a Demon's Around is a Sonic 34-23 > Middler Around?

    It can be. It can be performed more like a Middlearound or more like a Shadow at the end.

    Isn't a Demon's Around a Sonic Bust 34-23?

    I think demon's around is Twisted Sonic 23-12 ~ Shadow 12-23

    No, that's a Devil's Around. I'm asking for Demon's Around.

    @Freeman: Demon's Sonic has an extra 0.5 Charge rotation at the end to straighten out the pen.

    Sonic Bust is a hybrid name that can be attached to a few different types of hybrid combos (another reason to not use names for hybrids). If it is performed palm-down and has an extra 0.5 Charge rotation added to the end, then it might be the same as Demon's Sonic, depending on what was performed.

    In other words, don't be lazy and just use a breakdown instead.

    All this hybrid names confuse me a lot. This was only to clarificate, thanks.

    No problem, this is why the Interrupted Trick Notation was created. Once you understand the notation, you can use and ask for it to better understand what is happening during any trick/hybrid/combo.

    Before learning the hybrid notation, make sure you've memorized the full trick notation for single tricks. Once you know how a single trick can fully be described, you can go back to the hybrid notation and see how it is added onto the single trick notation.
