@InUxAnDxKag from my point of view, he looks sexy even when he's behind his computer! <3

@MariosGuy just so you know, it's actually called Thumbaround. Penspinning is a legitimate (though maybe not known or seen that way) manipulative art, and the rabbit whole goes down endlessly. For instance, Day[9] knows something like 4 to 10 tricks, all of which fall under the category of the fundamentals. Even just those and spinning regular pens like he does can be really fun/casual, but look up some spinners like the following to see what I mean:

-Eriror

-HAL

-Baaron

-fel2fram

-s777

Pen_is op.

:c hes better than me. but i gotta say...being tired has little, if anything at all to do with it. i started a few years ago and for a year now it is second nature whenever i pick up a pen. its actually harder if you are really focused on it as the trick is to never over-spin it- or youll drop it every time. admire the speed though, i tend to spin closer to my knuckles which probably greatly reduces that

[sniperkid23333]

he looks tired... and yet he can still spin a pen/pencil without looking, without trying, and without droping it .... What a boss!!!! Me on the other hand ( no pun intended ) i can barelly spin it around my thumb and thats 1 time outta of every 15

[BeatboxingFilo]

so awesome
