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.
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
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."
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.
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
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.
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
Yo, I actually got it (what to do, how much spin to add and how to balance) within five minutes like promised! It took me ~15 minutes to get it semi-consistently but I'm impressed. I only know a few pem tricks and mostly do spin tricks of my own (More like variations though) and this is the fastest one I've learnt. Especially siince I always found it really impressive and more difficult than other tricks
Idk i am practicing for couple of days now and like i can do it but i am very inconsistent sometimes I give too much force sometimes too insufficient force sometimes pen just spins on my thumb instead of around it and many more cases
With 80 other TH-cam videos I learned hot to throw my pencil at my teacher and get suspended for possible violence, but this video was just pure pen spinning goodness
Great tutorial but I practiced every step multiple times and did exactly what you did. I was so confused as to why it spun but didn't go around my thumb. Then I came to the conclusion that I had an unusually short thumb.
*I’VE OFFICIALLY DONE IT, AND I’M ABLE TO DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES!* Keep scrolling for tips! 1. Maybe you’re holding onto it for dear life.. Grasp it rather loosely, if you hold it too tight you’ll be unable to spin it around your thumb. 2. Actually, when I first started, my every time I spun it my thumb would actually dodge the pen instead of the pen spinning around it. If that’s an issue for you, do the motion without the pen. Notice how your thumb moves, you want to keep it rather still. Practice so your thumb will reduce its movement! 3. Like how he says in the video, practice the snapping movement. Your thumb will also NATURALLY move, not dodging the pen. Your thumb naturally moving is completely fine, it’ll still spin around it. 4. When spinning the pen around your thumb, (like using the middle finger,) do it rather lightly. You don’t need to hit the pen around your thumb that hard, it actually moved around your thumb with light movement of your middle finger. Try it out, do what’s best for you! 5. Last but not least, before I conclude the tips, PRACTICE.. PRACTICE… PRACTICE.. I still haven’t even mastered it yet. Different people take different amounts of time to actually complete the trick. Don’t worry about it when people share they’ve accomplished it in “10” minutes or what not. I actually began to do it on day 4. Don’t worry about what other people say, just keep practicing. HOPE THIS HELPED! ^^
I do a Y2K style thumbaround, also this is one of the moves where you just have to trust yourself, and kinda not think too much on catching the pen or pencil, as it will come to you instinctively.
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😂❤
oh my god dang bro thanks you i keep practicing for 2 hours trust me you'll make it under 2 hours or more than that because practice makes perfects GYAT
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
"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

When I first listen to him I think he said "but you gotta keep fu*k us"
Nop its "let's go" after you learn the trick

Innit mines keep falling too 😭

Thanks, I just got it first time.

its too hard i give up scratch this
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.

THANKS PIGME YOU ARE THE ONLY MAN THAT SKILLED ME TO DO THE THUMB AROUND THANK X
I finally had my first thumb around! Thank you, dude!
This actually helped so much and I'm so close to doing it after so many videos of confusing explanations
This tutorial was amazing! I was able to start landing the thumbaround two times in a row after watching this! Now to just keep on practicing!
same!
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
Me: accidentally drops pen
My pen: *HIPPITY HOPPITY TIME TO TRANSCEND TO A COMPLETELY ALTERNATE REALITY*
This should be the prerequisite video for learning windmills, if you get the snap and catch principle down you will get mills too.
I do a Y2K style thumbaround, also this is one of the moves where you just have to trust yourself, and kinda not think too much on catching the pen or pencil, as it will come to you instinctively.
Thank you so much i mastered it 2 days thank you this was the cleaniest tutorial ever
I just made one spin. I'll try to do more thanks, man
Thanks for getting me so much closer! It just doesn’t look smooth, just need to remember to keep my thumb still.
