Yeah, this is kind of a craze in Korea.
They even have clubs dedicated to it.
I can get about one or two good spins per 50 failures.

It took me about a whole year to figure out how to do this - but now I nail it everytime...

Hah! All my Korean friends do this all the time.

I used to do this all the time in classes.... Wanna know how I got hooked?
Cowboy Bebop... Spike does it with a cigarette, and I figured it would be a cook thing to do at a bar. turns out I just use it when I'm bored in class.
Try using a quarter and rolling it through your knuckles as well... I find that's more of a challenge.

Those asians are crazy at what they can do sometimes!

I remember freshman year in college, I saw a buddy of mine twirling a pen. I got eager to learn it so I spent so long watching videos like this and started learning them myself. Ever since then, everytime a pen lands in my hand it just ends up getting twirled around my fingers.
Its a curse I tell you!

I remember seeing classmates do that when I was in school.

Heh, it IS a curse, PapaTango - I can't be near a pen without having to spin it, either, no matter how many times people have told me it's distracting ... And come to think of it, like a lot of other folks have said, I picked the skill up from a Korean classmate, too - hey, maybe it's a conspiracy! Maybe the Master Plan is to get enough people addicted to it such that come the revolution all they'll have to do is lay down a load of pens and invade while we're all too busy spinning the darned things to pick up a weapon or put up any resistance!
Put down the pen before it's too late!

It´s addictive. Fortunately I´m not that good.

I'm all for the skill of this (I can't do it) but good gravy, warn us next time about the music.

I learned how to spin my pen my senior year of high school, in Calculus.

Wow, thats so weird. 9th grade (1991) I started doing this just to pass time in classes. I still do it to this day. I'm half Korean, must be genetic.
Also, I remember how upset I got when I found out my wedding ring was hampering my spinning. Needed to relearn.

So epic!
