    Yo. So, now that my left hand is somewhat decent at spinning (currently working on fingerpasses, arounds, + backarounds), I'd like to learn a few good hand transfers. Anyone know want to recommend me a few? Feel free to post your favorite or whatever you'd like.

    thumb snap, throw the pen against the desk and catch it with your other hand etc.

    Any aerial automatically offers a faily easy transition.

    You can try Figures 8s also, in the middle of a Figure 8 (Nor or Rev) T1, grab the end of the pen with the thumb & index finger of the other hand and continue with a Figure 8 T1 in the opposite direction on the other hand.

    Top spin transfers work too: Thumbspin in one hand > Palmspin/Backspin on the other hand.

    Arounds work too, if you are familar with Fingerarounds that and caught in different positions than the starting position, just position the other hand in place so that the fingers act as extended finger slots and catch the pen in the other hand after a Fingeraround.

    The around transfer wasn't too hard, but the thumbspin > palmspin is tricky. Thanks for the idea though!

    Whatever tricks you're doing on your right hand > Water 11 > Transfer to left hand > Your left hand tricks > Leigun to right hand > Some cool tricks > Bak Riser > Backhand Bounce > Catch at left hand ...

    You get the point,eh?

    There is no trick named Water...unless you are talking about Elemental spinning and releasing the pen on top of some water, then picking it up with the other hand to continue spinning.

    I remember seeing the trick named water somewhere, I think eso was the one who named it? Can't really remember.

    Different name or something?

    (EDIT)

    Waterfall is a combo consisting of a series of "Two Finger Twirls" (invented by Wrenn - Micro Juggling: Pencil Spinning) that are successively done between the index fingers, then middle fingers, then ring fingers then pinky fingers.

    I believe that the came from Eso calling the single trick "Water" and deciding that a combo full of "Waters" would be called Waterfall if the pen goes down the hand.

    Water obviously is not a widely accepted name for the trick...

    How about an interception? I use an aerial from the right hand and then intercepted bak in the left hand. Interceptions are really great ways to do hand transfers.

    Magic - Make the pen vanish and then appear in the other hand.

    You can also stall the pen somewhere and then roll it to the other hand. For instance, the pen can be stalled on top of the index finger after an IndexAround 0.5. After this, it can be rolled down the index finger and down the finger of the other hand to finish in T1, a good place to start off combos from.

    You can use a sonic to make the pen jump from a slot in one hand to a slot in another. I think Tohlz has a video of a Sonic 7x or something on his website.

    Oh, and let's not forget to knee bounce or elbow pop the pen across! wink.gif
