How to do a Thumb Around - Learn to Pen Spin in 5 Minutes

Whats up everybody. So some people are having trouble learning some of the pen spin tricks from my last tutorials. So in this video I break the basic thumb around even more and show you some progressions. If you follow along with me in this video you will be able to achieve it by the end!

"But you gotta focus" Best quote of all time. You can't beat that.

It's what we always wait anxiously for in his vids haha

Learn pen spinning like a pro kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6nOinePoZeWfqs

[@gigsnicky]

When I first listen to him I think he said "but you gotta keep fu*k us"

[@1.just-]

Nop its "let's go" after you learn the trick

Great video. Much better than the others i tried to learn from. The only thing I noticed from my experience that is never said in any tutorials, Don't move your thumb during the "snap" motion. once i got that down, the whole trick came together in minutes.

[@varshapardeshi3382]

Thanks because of your comment I can do this

Thenk. U so much🥰

[@theresearcherofart]

much help!

[@ThatsTypical]

I FINALLY GOT IT - What really helped me was holding the pen with the tip facing downwards and as I did the "flick" I then rotated my wrist along with the spin in the position he showed in the video; that little rotation really helps to carry the spin into the index finger. Also: be GENTLE with the spin, give the pen a soft "push" as opposed to a sudden "flick."

[@---cw4uc]

Thanks for help I was able to do it three times in a row.

[@purplekumaa6416]

something that really helped me that i recommend is taking a slo-mo video of you doing it, then watching closely and improving what you did wrong/improving timing

[@santhoshpaul528]

me after the pen falls a millon times : gravity cooperate with me gravity : nope

[@masontheking5823]

I can do it

[@skzstay4077]

Innit mines keep falling too 😭

[@ark_q]

If you can't get this in 5 minutes, don't wory, it's not just you. It took me a full day to actually get to a constant level where I could do 4 or 5 in a row before dropping the pen. So, just keep to it. It is really helpful to get a men mod though, a random cheap on one amazon works great for me.

Im just learning it to have a way to play with my pencil while im not listening to a teacher in class

[@Rishit6T9]

Actually I am learning it to impress my crush ❤️🤣🤣🤣

[@slix_ltu12]

I'm still practising and i just did it, then stopped doing it, then i did it again, which leads me to now. One thing that worked for me is that you don't rush learning. Ignore the part where you use your index to catch it. All you have to do is practise getting it around the thumb with your middle finger. Keep experimenting until you find something that works, then practise that. For me, I just subconsciously learned to catch it with my index. Hope this helps anyone.

[@abelmushili3]

Thanks for the tip, I can now do it without worrying about catching the pen with my index finger

[@shmayapeskin9083]

Thanks, I just got it first time.

[@ryvijehoxha6940]

[@stephelepolopadoplis6554]

I finally had my first thumb around! Thank you, dude!

[@HansensUniverseT-A]

No matter how many tutorials and attempts i do i am not even close >* I give up, i genuinely believe you have to be naturally talented to do this.

[@mangadoofus1725]

Hi random human i met on the internet, just want to say do not give up on it i was the same(still starting well..started 3days ago) i was trying to learn thumbaround and failed so i switched to finger pass which worked and i can do it about perfectly right now (it took between 20-30h) of spinning most of it while watching youtube or tv Quick random tip if you cant do it still Try using a longer/heavier pen or duct tape the sides of a pencil untill you feel comfortable with the weight

[@vincecyruzapelado5677]

Thank you so much i mastered it 2 days thank you this was the cleaniest tutorial ever

[@gemma_fitzpatrick27]

I want to learn this SO badly!

I tried a lot of guides, but this is the best one

[@Aadi_Agarwal]

Thank u sir. Very helpful video. I learnt it after many tries but I got the hang of it. My friend is also trying to do the same from this video.

[@kayeru1]

Thanks dude! This only took me about 15 minutes to learn!

[@allisonbrightrose5805]

This actually helped so much and I'm so close to doing it after so many videos of confusing explanations

[@coxless_persian4115]

hello everyone so i just wanted to leave a comment on here and say that this video and a bunch of other videos helped me learn how to do the thumb around im still not that good in doing it one after one and i fu*k it up sometimes but i learnt the technique it took me about 3 to 4 days to learn how to actually do it but yeah i did it one thing that was bothering me a lot was my fingers. i have a pretty big hands and fingers and it's a bit difficult if you have big hands and you're doing it on a long pen/pencil. also as lukas mentioned here (3:44) it's much more easier if you hold it towards one side of the object if it's a balanced thing like a pen or pencil but after you learnt it and you wanted to do it on other things like a spoon or fork, just remember that it helps a lot if you hold it that the heavier part of the object is farther from your index and middle finger

[@its_riya47]

My fingers are also long, it's a bit easy to do it on pencil rather than pen

[@Jaammiiee_]

Omg thank you so much i was really struggling with that trick

[@prabhuan3697]

Thank you so much for this video I finally leand the thumb around

[@creativediy8200]

Sir hats off.. I was doing that u were saying but i accidently snapped it with pencil and that accident was so damn perfect that i learned it thank u

[@piyushdwivedi7195]

You gotta write a book titled 'but you gotta focus'.

[@tizen.]

Thank you so much! The other tutorials I watched never showed me where to place my fingers doing the thumb around, I already knew how to do the thumb around I just needed guidance of where I need to place my fingers

This is really something 37 yrs ago my last semester I. College I saw some Asian students flipping their pencil or pens I'm the library. I was fascinated. I said I have got to do this before I graduate. I practiced over and over and got it. 37 yrs later I can still flip. Lol😂❤
