i understand the secret, but i cant get mine to spin properly. is there a certain exact way that these are made? Ive tried a round dowel for a propeller and a flat propeller, but neither spin very good.

This is just awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. My husband made one over the Christmas holidays and it's just great fun.

These are F-U-N!! I've made them from tree branches {small ones, basically twigs}.

Thank you so much for the explanation! My grandfather used to show me this trick as a child, but he never passed along the secret before he died. Now I know!
