    Well about a year ago I broke my hand, and when it healed it damaged the tendons of my ring and pinky fingers a bit. Thanks to hand therapy i got most of my ring finger skill back (I used to practice in magic and illusions with cards and etc) but I could never get my pinky movement completely back. Will this affect me in pen spinning as much as it did in sleight of hand with cards and such? Speaking of...woot did my first thumb-around after 10 minutes of trying. Now I can't do it again dry.gif Anywho, yea it'd be much appreciated if someone knew. Thanks much.

    It depends how bad or good it is. I mean if u can only move like 1 knuckle well... Thats kinda bad. But just practise penspinning and stuff that uses fingers alot and it will get alot better

    Ouch. Did your tendons actually snap or something? Otherwise, its physically impossible to regain normal function of the pinky if your tendon did snap. If it was just damaged, I think some more hand therapy would do the trick. This is just my 2cents, I'm not an expert in this or anything, just something that I thought of. Good luck dude, hope this does not hamper your PS-ing experience. smile.gif

    How is it messed up, is it like you can't stretch it, or can't bend it, or can't make jerky movements with it...etc.
