How to get into Cambridge: *Interviewer:* "So, why should we let you study at Cambridge University? *Me:* Proceeds to spin pen around my thumb like a tornado. *Interviewer:* "Ok you're in"
Thank you. I've finally learned how to this. I've managed to impress several people. It also helped me in dating 420 girls, landing a job at NASA, buying a $250M villa, getting tesla cybertruck, visiting mars & defeating thanos.
So I've been practicing for 2-3 hours. While the pen flies out of my fingers many times, I have been able to at least be capable of successfully spinning the pen 2 times in a row. While the instructions Ali gave were great, I would like to point out a few things I found helpful: 1) After spinning the pen, it should land facing the same direction as you have started with e.g. pointer facing down. I didn't realize at first - I thought I spun it corrected when the pointer was facing upward. 2) Rest the back of the hand on the table, with the thumb facing up - this prevents the pen from clashing with the table as it spins. Push with a stern and upward force using the middle finger. It allowed the pen to focus on spinning around the thumb nail rather than the lower thumb bone area. 3) Practice with a towel on the table to save your ears from bleeding. The pen's going to fall hundreds of times. Good luck folks! Happy spinning~
✏️My exam is in 2 days but best believe this is what I'm doing at the library tomorrow ✏️ Thanks Ali for always providing us with top advice on how to attract mates 🙏🏼
Thanks for showing me this new trick! I leaned this in 2 days and I’m still perfecting it. Here are some tips: 1: made sure that when you try and spin the pencil make sure it doesn’t hit your index finger. 2: Try no to move your thumb at all. 3. If you don’t know what you are doing wrong just record yourself doing it in Slo motion. 4. Try with different sized pencils and practice with those. It takes time but with some determination you can do it! I hopes this helped!
@@ishaashumaiz3421 what I did was pointed my index finger away from my thumb. I kept your index finger as far away as possible and right when it flipped around my thumb I put in down on the pen. I hope this helps.
I started pen spinning yesterday and got motivation from ali…..😌. I learned this technique because of ya. Got the first successful spin after 2 hours of practise. So if you are new at pen spinning dont lose hope. ✌🏻
By far this is the most valuable lesson I have learned in all of my 18 years of academic learning. We love a wise man who teaches us how to spin an apple pen
I was homeless and all alone, living on the streets barely getting by. Then, by the grace of god, i found this video and learned how to spin an apple pencil in my hands. (It was a gen 1 pencil i found in the trash btw) it inspired me to train, day in and day out, until my hands bled. Finally, i learned how to spin an apple pencil in my hand. Immediately, i was hired at my dream job, found the love of my life, got married, bought a house with the white picket fence and a dog. Truly this video changed my life. Thankyou, sir. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
As I was following your tutorial, I realized I instinctively put my thumb down so the pen doesn't really rotate around it, therefore I couldn't really do the trick. I fixated on keeping my thumb up and in under an hour I was able to do it lol. Thanks Ali!
"let's say you want to impress a girl or impress a guy, I think GETTING YOUR PENCIL OUT AND SPINNING IT AROUND might be a good idea" 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 That kids is the essence of seduction
I've watched so many tutorials on this and I could never get it. I actually practiced for a few hours every day with your method, and I can actually spin a pen now. Thanks.
So I’ve been practicing this for hours. Here are some other tips: 1. Make sure your index finger isn’t interfering whatsoever. Keep it straight and focus on keeping your thumb in place. 2. If you don’t know why you’re failing use your phone to record it in slow mo to see what you’re doing wrong 3. The Apple Pencil is a bit heavy do it may take a while to find the perfect spot to spin the pen. You’ll get used to finding it if you keep practicing.
For the last 15 years or so I had been mesmerized by boys doing the pen thing.. finally! I tried exactly like you showed. Took time to learn to keep my index finger away during the pencil's way back to my pincer grip.
Learned the trick under an hour and I’m going to show it off tomorrow when me and my gf study 😏 now can you please teach us the other tricks at the end 🙏
Most of this Tricks seemed pretty simple at first but when you made the coin disappear completely and opened your hands at the same time I was really impressed
Lmao Ali I always wondered how you spin your pencils but I never actually thought you’d make a video about it 😂 guess I’ll spend the next days learning your trick
OMG it workkkedddd... I just finished watching this vid for like 5 mins ago and trying it.. I managed to do it twice correctly!!! Omgeee.. Hahahaha.. This is what a nurse on isolation is doing.. Haha... I've asked my friends in west suffolk if they see u there.. Hihi.. 😅. New subscriber here ☺
I watched this when it first came out, watched it a few more times, and you’re right. I can’t stop doing it ever. It annoys my mother, but I’ve gotten a bunch of people at school asking how to do it
Guys I learnt this in a day you just have to keep practicing i don’t know if this weird tip might help you but it helped me I realised When I’m looking somewhere else or thinking about something else I am able to constantly spin it where as when I’m looking at it my mind thinks it’s more complicated and flops at it another tip is to keep the rest of your arm steady
I have never been so enlightened in my whole life🤣🤣❤️ Edit: I just finished the vid, and I can just say I literally said WHAT THE HELL like brooo that's cooool🤯🤯
This is all i needed to know in my life i'm gonna show this off so much for sure! Btw if you can't do it dont Worry Just keep going! YOU WILL GET BETTER AT IT! don't give up Guys☺️
It took me 2 whole months to be able to do it fluently. All those sleepless nights, all those different pencils i bought just to practice this, really paid off.
I didn't learnd only, but I remember that sentence "Hard work pays off", which means we can do anything we want, but with don't let our selves down or giving up(I learned with about 250 times in around 3 Hours in a night, and at finally I could do it while walking in the same night)... Thanks
I have realized that I did better while not focusing on doing it other than actually trying to do it. Also thanks I can now skip time in class in more of a entertaining fashion
Bought an iPad Pro after watching Ali's videos. After I got it I felt a bit lost, like I really didn't know what do do with it. Now it has a purpose. I think this will propell my career forward, and make me the boss of my office.
I’m sitting here, watching a video on my new iPad that I bought because of you, learning this with my new Apple Pencil 😂 I promise I will actually use this iPad for study at some point
Here at 3 am practising a pencil trick. Update: it is now 4pm. I am tired but will not give up. I have had several succeeded attempts. My eyes hurt. I might fall asleep.
For those practicing with a regular pen,........... Keep The Cap On. Please do. Had to buy a new bar of soap. Thank you so much Ali. This is a great time-killer. My mom is sooo going to be happy...😁🙏. Lots of respect from India.
dude thank you so much i haven’t even finished the video yet but i’ve already spun it successfully twice (although my other attempts are still a bit weak i gotta find the right amount of force to put with my middle finger)
Ali gives tips on studying and all, but this is the most crucial one I've seen to date...
Sage Hornet Samsung pencil will spin itself
ideally "to date" as he says at the start of the vid.

the heavier the pen the easier it gets ;)
This should be way up.
