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…

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.

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!

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.
