I had some ideas of doing tricks with fingers crossed, and crossing fingers while performing the trick. I researched a bit about this but I found nothing. So here I post three examples:

I believe Fratleym has done tricks involving crossing his fingers, his video is on youtube somewhere.
edit: i couldnt find the video i was talking about, but i swear it's somewhere on youtube >.< -

Bajamba made a trick he called twisted ringaround that uses crossed fingers. Here's the thread on UCPSB.

Interesting, thanks. So my 2nd trick would be a Twisted Bak, and the 3rd a Twisted Baktap?

Tricks #1 and #2 do not use the crossing of the fingers to actually help the pen trick. It just gets a finger out of the way and could be seen as a style of holding one's fingers.
Trick #3 seems like a training-wheels type of push for a Baktap, like using the thumb to build up pressure for a Sonic. You could do this to practice getting used to the pen spinning of the back of the fingers before moving onto the fingerless push.
The Bajamba video seems like the same thing. The finger-crossing doesn't actually add to the performance of the trick, how the pen is pushed or caught, just adds a visual style.
It's like Fratleym's Sonic Clip where the center finger starts on the inside of the hand, then moves to the outside. The actual performance of the Sonic Clip is not really affected, but the visual effect is enhanced by the non-used finger moving outward.
It all seems like a style of performing a trick, but nothing needing new names for, especially not "Twisted" anything as that will confuse with the existing Twisted Sonic hybrid. -

I'd say that Bajamba's trick does use crossed fingers in the performance of the trick. 2 is crossed under 3 and then pushes the pen as if 2 is the finger under 3. Freeman's crossed fingers don't really add to the trick, it's just a different way of placing the fingers.

Yo, if you could make it smooth, at least as smooth as doing taps, it would be a supercool concept.
