Charge Pen Trick Tutorial

[BossKillerMan]

The pen is semi-stopping at every turn and it is remarkable though I can keep up with the charge ..... is it bcz I'm a beginner or bcz Im doing it wrong ?

[MikamiHero]

@BossKillerMan That usually happens when you first start out. Sometimes the pen will stop moving mid-routine through the charge. It'll take more time for your fingers to develop the dexterity and muscle memory required for the charge. Just keep practicing it and you'll get better in no time :D

[Bsnakezs]

I can do it with my index and my middle. But not with my ring finger

[omg9876543211]

is it wrong to do the charge with your pointer and middle instead of index and middle caz thats how my korean friend taught me???

[MikamiHero]

@omg9876543211 It can be done with any combination of fingers :) I know people who do it with 1-2 (index and middle). It all depends on what feels comfortable for you.

[Embreonn]

@omg9876543211 Hey i do the charge pen trick the same way as you, just to let you know that you're not the only one doing it differently:)

[zePufferfish]

Good tutorial, I learned 10 pen tricks I didn't care about ,but this one. My friend can only do the charge and he goes crazy each time I try to do it because its one of the move ADVANCED charges or sonic.

[glaswasser]

this should be the hardest? damn, im a pro then.

[MikamiHero]

@glaswasser Hardest fundamental trick, not really the hardest in general.

[xXCeraManoXx]

i am doing that with a pencil on my pointer and middle finger but it always starts to move down the pencil. Why?

[smartface96]

i can't get any speed between my middle finger and my ring finger, and it does not spin either.. =(

[xXmaxXxD]

good tutorial thumb up ; )

greets from german-penspinning

[RawrGurr]

Iv'e been trying for 6 months and still can't do it. I could do all other basic spinning ones that don't require a charge motion. =(

[itsharonhere]

i learned this by myself b4 i watched this video!!! its the easiest thing in all the spinning tricks!

[MikamiHero]

@S0ny73 I think so. I was just using a generic pen.

[ubergamer999]

Australian? btw im using that heavy professional spinning pen from japan even though i suck at pen spinning. umm im kinda weak and its hard to do this. is there any other way to do this thanks

[logan1544]

watched many videos on this but this was the one that finally taught me!!

[MikamiHero]

@logan1544 I'm glad you like it =D

[coolgamemaster812]

I can do this with my feet :}

[MrPorkribs]

Fuck my fingers

[jurassicpark4ever]

My pen slides out of my fingers, like when i start moving my fingers like that the pen just slides out, what do I do wrong!?

[MikamiHero]

@jurassicpark4ever You also need to grip the pen enough so it won't slide out of your fingers, and balancing the force for both fingers. It is tricky at the beginning; just takes a bit of practice to prevent it from falling out :)

[jurassicpark4ever]

@MikamiHero Thanks for replying I will try my best!

[bugzyjuno14]

I NEED SLOWW MOTION!!!!!!

[MikamiHero]

@bugzyjuno14 Would you like me to post a slow-motion video?

[bugzyjuno14]

@MikamiHero It would be so awesome if you did, oh please.

[locoroco08]

umm somone taught me to use my index finger and middle finger is that correct too?

[lolp74]

@locoroco08 It is more pro ! :D

[MikamiHero]

@locoroco08 Any variant of the charge is fine. I can do it on my index and middle finger. It's more fun if you combine with a charge on your middle and ring finger + sonic + charge on index and middle finger :)

[locoroco08]

@MikamiHero awsome thanks much :D 

[captingin6]

wah this is so frustrating lol XD

[tossigtoker]

I CAN´T! xD

[OwnedByTechno]

more than 19

[datazn618]

19 people couldnt do the charge

[theinnergaara]

ppl who cant do it just look at the way his fingers move :) it helped me

[FunKCX]

easy ma ass xD my pen only goes up and down xD

[Ghotiolo]

what's the weight difference on both sides of hte pen?

[aMinisculeFly]

I can't stop the pen sliding down my fingers

[Lancelot5225]

easy trick.

[XXuchihakasaXX]

easy

[626ryu]

cant do this but i can do a back and forth thumb around and some crazy sonic type stuff i made up so wtf?

[88CarloDeLeon88]

I used my index finger and my middle finger. :P But works perfectly.

[BlueL1ght]

Is it fine if you use your index and middle finger? Or should it be done the way you show it with the middle and ring?

[BeBeAyumi]

im a obsessed charge freak :D

i do it every day, hahaha :D

[cokencan12]

it's sliding.. can't maintain the center..

[SmallTricky]

I keep doing the sonic instead of the charge!

[jerfimuzumaki]

CAN'T FUCKING DO THAT!!!! I've mastered the sonic (wich seems a lot harder) but can't do that shit!! I think I'm blocked...

[VerifyTheValidity]

Every time I try this I always end up doing the Sonic.

[jomybro]

My fingers always move down the pen before i can even start a circular motion!!! HALP!!

[VerifyTheValidity]

@jomybro Stop moving your fingers down the pen. :D

[MrNoNaMe1107]

is this rellly a trick?!?!



[MikamiHero]

@MrNoNaMe1107 Depends on what you define as trick.

[PseudoSacrosanct758]

it dont spin help me

[MikamiHero]

@PseudoSacrosanct758 Practice =( It never was spinning for me before, but it takes practice to get the circular motion correct.

[alexlmatos1994]

This is a standard pen?

is not no mod is it?

mete subtitled in Portuguese ... so help me much ...

[paraphernailia]

how long did it take you to learn?

[Dramen20]

hmm i can do sonic but i can't do this?

[link17ny]

Whenever I try this, I can't stop the pencil/pen from slipping forwards or backwards. Do you have any tips on how to maintain control while still staying loose enough to swing it round?

[animefan320]

kinda hard when you have weak fingers... D:

[trinigyal707]

hiarious.. i've seen so many long drawn out tutorials... and this one made the most sense. haha! thanks a ton

[jtrain555]

Brutel

[paulross680]

interesting

[nenghuizzz]

my sis can do it , but i can't ):

[kefassidauruk]

so hard

[funkilicioustaco]

wait im confused whats supposed to happen?

[crazyboy1179]

thats like the easiest

[Superevildarkraquaza]

OMFG I DID IT!!!

[metalarklemon]

I did a tutorial too called pentricks and tutorial (charge)  BY METALARKLEMON

[FaintSnow]

I find it much easier to do with the index and middle instead of the middle and ring finger.

[me3333me]

ur sooooo gooooooooooood!!

[mmm2096]

i got it!!!

[dragonkillsl]

lol its the easy one im doing a lot of 360's

[jwmints]

i can only do this but not much of the other pen tricks

[VagrantWatcher213]

It doesn't have to be in the middle and ring finger, actually. Can be between anything. Just looks better between those two.

Try passing a charge to another finger. That's tricky.

[moonabc96]

first, i need to good pen

[dbg581]

finally....

[123flutegirl]

sumtimes the easyiest stuff is da hardest

[techdeck626]

this is crap it is actually the EASIEST trick in the penspinning

[Bilalol3]

nope i think thumbaround is

[melilycui]

thanks for the video ^^

[luc89ass]

good tutorial, nasty friggin chewing gum sounds

[shinigami815]

is there such thing as a reverse charge i kinda thot tat was the charge then wen i saw i friends, i realized mine was the opposite O.o

[Inrxz]

That seems like such a tiny pen. Good job because I wouldn't be able to use something so small. :P

[eajelly]

this is super easy but this is the only pentrick I can do =(

[flawlesssync]

i tried it several times , all of them i failed , but one of the times i did one spin and it flew of my fingers.. lol .. i can't do this.. :X

[l3annanaMan]

Practice

[xXDethMetalGodXx]

i can do it but i mean my other fingers keep getting in the way of the pencil to get it to spin for me.....for years i could always do it hell a fast with my index and middle finger

[DarkbLood3345]

it very easy i can do it when i was 1 year old xD!!

[canttakeitanymore94]

You don't even have proper grammar you stupid fuck. :\

[SilentSinX7]

I think I'm getting it. I'm really good with the index finger

And the middle finger single charge. Using the see saw technique I'm on the Borge of getting it. Thanks bro.

[cooldudeinblack]

bet this i did the charge for 2 min

[Jester995]

Oh come on, I'm all for self improvement but atleast learn something with some practical use. There's a million and one things you can spend time learning that are actually rewarding.

[thisismyname1231]

it looks fun but i'm still trying to get it to work

[chUUb1o1]

@ jester

We can do whatever we want, and hey it's hard. Plus it's fun to show off with xD it has a practical use, not dieing when bored in class ;P

[Jester995]

The fact it's hard just means you waste even more time learning how to do it. If you want to do something that's hard learn another language or something.

[chUUb1o1]

Gah, watever people like you don't understand me Dx I just like having fun, these are one of my hobbies me and my friend have, so it's not as much as a skill to me, just an excuse to hang out and do something stupid together lol

[Jester995]

Ok fair point. Sorry I was just in the mood for being an asshole when I wrote that.

[Bumbystyle]

lol so kewl

[TWD98]

i have that same pen xD

[ldc62]

this was short and seemingly bad but damn i got soo much closer... thanks

[ILoveSpinningPen]

Wow i did This !!

Im a newbie on this..

any pro please "take care" of me..^^

[MaT1asB]

WOW LOL lol Cooooolllll

[ukystout]

lol i can do sonic but not the charge...UGHHHH

[mayumijimp]

when i do it on a pencil, my pencil keeps on slowly slipping!!

[fittied]

does it depend on the pen im spinning cuz i can never get it

[vgbjason]

i use a unsharpened pencil and pet fat erasers on both ends. way easier than most pens

[thisismyname1231]

i'll try that, i was using a "spinz "pen

[q1kyle25]

mm wel if u get 2 of the same type of pens u can put them together dats wat most ppl do

[shwe1]

the pen always slips out of my finger when i do it y?

[Blackwarrior710]

if you do it slower it helps!

[someonesad]

i didnt know this was a trick it's really easy for me to do

[sfguitar505]

dose it count if i do the see-saw movement but i kinda move my wrist around to get the circular motion?

[MikamiHero]

That's more a drummer's charge; with the wrist

Try to use only the fingers =]

[DeGrimReper]

i didnt know this was an actual trik

lol

i just thought i kept messing up on the sonic

[Wheretty1]

Hmm. This tutorial is much more helpful (at least to me) than the other charge tutorials. :f Cheers.

[DeltaSquad98]

I can do that .. but insted i do it with my index finger and my middle

[chooser45]

I use my index and middle too.

Didn't know it was an actual pen trick. o.o

I just fiddled around with my pen until I learned how to do it. :P

[waz355]

gonna learn the 12 charge cos my middle finger is killing from mastering the sonic (pressure method) pressed it too hard

[emeraldslay]

How did you master the sonic?

[MikamiHero]

Hmm

Do you want me to make a Sonic tutorial?

[xXxSexyGoddessxXx]

@emeraldslay

sonic is easy, took me 5 mins to master, but charge is really hard

[xMissGeschickx]

nice tutorial^^

but too difficult for me xDD

[ppkylezhou]

i think that is wong,i used a comssa but it hit my fingers

[Sslifer01]

How many times you train it?

[Sslifer01]

But pen spinning not only this trick ;p

[iliketeaa]

Curse my uncomfortable pens -.-

[ShadowXitra]

ITS PRONOUNCED MI(me)-KA(like cuss)MI(me)

even if its possibly your real name, its pronounced wrong by you :P

[MikamiHero]

I pronouced it Me-Kar-Me.

Close enough... whatever

[ShadowXitra]

mikami. yes. the R is invisible -.-

[iPJere]

lmao...

[FredericoMacheda]

shutup

[tycoon121]

lol eeerrr, how can drummers do this(calls up neil peart)

[cardboy9]

anyway this is a good tutorial, helped me out. thanks.

[lonelyshinigami]

i did it on 1st try! thanks

[vsoccerulz]

omg how did you not drop your pen at all during the video? lol i can do it almost 3 times in a row then it slips out of my fingers xD

[Itrial2]

is it also a charge, when i spin the pen between index and middle finger ? ^^ i cant do it with index and ring

[cardboy9]

it still is a charge. this video was a 23 charge, your doing a 12 charge, which doesn't really matter.

[Itrial2]

ah, k ^^ i understand what you mean, but couls you explain me why its calles 23 and 12 ? ^^"

[MikamiHero]

Usually means it's between index and middle finger (12) or middle and ring finger (23) =]

[cardboy9]

your thumb is called T, index finger 1, middle 2, etc. so when it is in between your index and middle, it is called 12 and so on.

[Itrial2]

ah that makes sense ^^ thanks

[xXkoolpersonXx]

i do this with my thumb and index. but this is not hard, the infinity trick is hard

[SupaKaylynn]

it keeps slipping off :(

Is it just me or what? lol

[MikamiHero]

It just takes practice in balancing the momentum and the force applied also.

It is kind of tricky to force your fingers into that position.

Keep at it =]

[dadude590]

sniped!!!!!!!!! my bro in the eye =D it didnt spin around but it dose make a good sniper rifel my bros on the other side of the room ftw!!

[rctf987]

i did it once but thenit flew out of my hand!!!:)

[GrasEater]

how long till you do this?

[MikamiHero]

Took me about... 3 days =O. I just mucked around in class if I was bored =]

[GrasEater]

didn youre pen fell alot?

[daredevilfingerboard]

wat i do!!!!

[MikamiHero]

XD It's a tricky one to master. It takes a bit of practice. It's more about... getting the momentum from moving the fingers up and down.

[Bnditz]

also do you have any tips of the type of grip I want on the pencil/pen it keeps slipping

[MikamiHero]

Just keep alternating pressure between the two fingers. It's a really difficult fundamental to master =]

[Bnditz]

but I used my index finger and middle it works just as well and is easier for someone like me!

[Bnditz]

thanks! really helped I think I can do a charge now!

[xxxGirlyxxx145]

dang that was easy, it's just a fakie spin on the drums

[PreshPromAsia]

xD i use the middle and index finger xD its easyer and like ya took me a week

TIPS FOR NEWBS!

1) make your fingers slow and steady

[OBJEEZ]

i cant get the circular motion down

[chess95]

hold ur middle finger, and just move ur ring finger, it creates the charge

[BlakeRPB]

i dont understand this at it doesnt make any sense and apparently from what all the tutorials say is that people can do 2 spins usually on their first trys when learning and i cant even move the damn thing. wtf

[AdamTheEskimo]

how long is a while?

[MikamiHero]

Depends really...

It took me about ... 2 /3 days? I usually did it at school in classes xP

[plazahax]

yeah, i learnt the around thumb one in wiecek physics :P anthony learnt breakdancing to the lectures on centripedal force!

[HectorHippie]

ive a question only the third finger should move or is correct if i move the second and third fingers

[XroXazX]

thanks man, you have the best charge pen tutorial on youtube 5/5 stars

[MikamiHero]

lol thanks man =P I might upload a Sonic tutorial soon. I haven't been able to due to uni entrance exams lol

[jamyboi23]

i do my charge between my middle finger and index finger XD

[HectorHippie]

i learned this trick in one week but i cant say if im doing it right

[MikamiHero]

Hmmm, sorry for this late reply. Uni entrance exams.

I guess one way to check is to see how circular the movement is? The more circular, the more "correct" =P

[Gavlois1]

what do you do if the center of gravity slips up or down your fingers?

[julinmorgan]

good question lol... that's happening to me =T

[MikamiHero]

Same thing as above reply comment ^_^

[bigair1433]

i use index and middle and spin it counter clockwise

[booshpower]

this video doesn't make it very easy to understand

i can't do it!

[pedrao15]

try to buy the Xtreme Beginnerz 2, excellent explanations, or u can subscribe me, i ll be posting a Thumb Around and Charge tutorias, and it will be another revolutionary tutoria (check out my BOOMERANG CARD tuto) ;D

[klutz24]

very hard cant do it xD

[legweakdotcom]

On a site i saw it told to start ina position and then push, pull, push, pull with your ring finger. If that helps anyone

[Universal247]

AHHHHHH! i cant do it!!!!!!!!!1

[AdorkableMurder]

He's completely lost the key part that makes it extremely easy to learn.

You start it off by flicking the end of your thumb. This will give a push to the pen, and weigh it so it moves as you 'see-saw' it on your two fingers.
