Great video. Much better than the others i tried to learn from. The only thing I noticed from my experience that is never said in any tutorials, Don't move your thumb during the "snap" motion. once i got that down, the whole trick came together in minutes.
something that really helped me that i recommend is taking a slo-mo video of you doing it, then watching closely and improving what you did wrong/improving timing
I FINALLY GOT IT - What really helped me was holding the pen with the tip facing downwards and as I did the "flick" I then rotated my wrist along with the spin in the position he showed in the video; that little rotation really helps to carry the spin into the index finger. Also: be GENTLE with the spin, give the pen a soft "push" as opposed to a sudden "flick."
*I’VE OFFICIALLY DONE IT, AND I’M ABLE TO DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES!* Keep scrolling for tips! 1. Maybe you’re holding onto it for dear life.. Grasp it rather loosely, if you hold it too tight you’ll be unable to spin it around your thumb. 2. Actually, when I first started, my every time I spun it my thumb would actually dodge the pen instead of the pen spinning around it. If that’s an issue for you, do the motion without the pen. Notice how your thumb moves, you want to keep it rather still. Practice so your thumb will reduce its movement! 3. Like how he says in the video, practice the snapping movement. Your thumb will also NATURALLY move, not dodging the pen. Your thumb naturally moving is completely fine, it’ll still spin around it. 4. When spinning the pen around your thumb, (like using the middle finger,) do it rather lightly. You don’t need to hit the pen around your thumb that hard, it actually moved around your thumb with light movement of your middle finger. Try it out, do what’s best for you! 5. Last but not least, before I conclude the tips, PRACTICE.. PRACTICE… PRACTICE.. I still haven’t even mastered it yet. Different people take different amounts of time to actually complete the trick. Don’t worry about it when people share they’ve accomplished it in “10” minutes or what not. I actually began to do it on day 4. Don’t worry about what other people say, just keep practicing. HOPE THIS HELPED! ^^
I'm still practising and i just did it, then stopped doing it, then i did it again, which leads me to now. One thing that worked for me is that you don't rush learning. Ignore the part where you use your index to catch it. All you have to do is practise getting it around the thumb with your middle finger. Keep experimenting until you find something that works, then practise that. For me, I just subconsciously learned to catch it with my index. Hope this helps anyone.
If you can't get this in 5 minutes, don't wory, it's not just you. It took me a full day to actually get to a constant level where I could do 4 or 5 in a row before dropping the pen. So, just keep to it. It is really helpful to get a men mod though, a random cheap on one amazon works great for me.
hello everyone so i just wanted to leave a comment on here and say that this video and a bunch of other videos helped me learn how to do the thumb around im still not that good in doing it one after one and i fu*k it up sometimes but i learnt the technique it took me about 3 to 4 days to learn how to actually do it but yeah i did it one thing that was bothering me a lot was my fingers. i have a pretty big hands and fingers and it's a bit difficult if you have big hands and you're doing it on a long pen/pencil. also as lukas mentioned here (3:44) it's much more easier if you hold it towards one side of the object if it's a balanced thing like a pen or pencil but after you learnt it and you wanted to do it on other things like a spoon or fork, just remember that it helps a lot if you hold it that the heavier part of the object is farther from your index and middle finger
Yo, I actually got it (what to do, how much spin to add and how to balance) within five minutes like promised! It took me ~15 minutes to get it semi-consistently but I'm impressed. I only know a few pem tricks and mostly do spin tricks of my own (More like variations though) and this is the fastest one I've learnt. Especially siince I always found it really impressive and more difficult than other tricks
Hi random human i met on the internet, just want to say do not give up on it i was the same(still starting well..started 3days ago) i was trying to learn thumbaround and failed so i switched to finger pass which worked and i can do it about perfectly right now (it took between 20-30h) of spinning most of it while watching youtube or tv Quick random tip if you cant do it still Try using a longer/heavier pen or duct tape the sides of a pencil untill you feel comfortable with the weight
Idk i am practicing for couple of days now and like i can do it but i am very inconsistent sometimes I give too much force sometimes too insufficient force sometimes pen just spins on my thumb instead of around it and many more cases
This is really something 37 yrs ago my last semester I. College I saw some Asian students flipping their pencil or pens I'm the library. I was fascinated. I said I have got to do this before I graduate. I practiced over and over and got it. 37 yrs later I can still flip. Lol😂❤
I do a Y2K style thumbaround, also this is one of the moves where you just have to trust yourself, and kinda not think too much on catching the pen or pencil, as it will come to you instinctively.
With 80 other RUclips videos I learned hot to throw my pencil at my teacher and get suspended for possible violence, but this video was just pure pen spinning goodness
Great tutorial but I practiced every step multiple times and did exactly what you did. I was so confused as to why it spun but didn't go around my thumb. Then I came to the conclusion that I had an unusually short thumb.
Thank you so much! The other tutorials I watched never showed me where to place my fingers doing the thumb around, I already knew how to do the thumb around I just needed guidance of where I need to place my fingers
I have been noticing that the pen flies off when it rotates around the thumb, which causes the second half to be impossible. Any ways to stop that from happening? And does age really matter or size of fingers to do this trick?
I just had that happen to, then I realised that he's holding the pen "upside down"! Note the eraser pointing down towards the table. Thus when trying to mimic him holding the pen, I held the bottom/down-facing part of the pencil, which makes it fly off instead of wrapping around the thumb. Hold it further up (where the eraser would be in real life, not where it is in the video) and the longer bottom end carries more weight and pushes it towards your thumb instead of away from your hand. Edit: Just after typing this I landed my first one myself. Overall great video!
"But you gotta focus" Best quote of all time. You can't beat that.
It's what we always wait anxiously for in his vids haha
Learn pen spinning like a pro
ruclips.net/video/1xkYDYl2cHI/видео.html
When I first listen to him I think he said "but you gotta keep fu*k us"
Nop its "let's go" after you learn the trick

me after the pen falls a millon times : gravity cooperate with me
gravity : nope
I can do it
Innit mines keep falling too 😭

Thanks for the tip, I can now do it without worrying about catching the pen with my index finger
Thanks, I just got it first time.
You arw the best thanks i did it for tjhe first time thanks

its too hard i give up scratch this

I honestly get distracted doing it🤣
@@justthere845 i hope your doing it right now
Thanks
Im just learning it to have a way to play with my pencil while im not listening to a teacher in class
Actually I am learning it to impress my crush ❤️🤣🤣🤣

@@NavoTheTrueGod bro huh
@@SlippinJimmyOfficial whats good girl
it took me 5 hours and i’m still not consistent
hello everyone
so i just wanted to leave a comment on here and say that this video and a bunch of other videos helped me learn how to do the thumb around
im still not that good in doing it one after one and i fu*k it up sometimes but i learnt the technique
it took me about 3 to 4 days to learn how to actually do it but yeah i did it
one thing that was bothering me a lot was my fingers. i have a pretty big hands and fingers and it's a bit difficult if you have big hands and you're doing it on a long pen/pencil.
also as lukas mentioned here (3:44) it's much more easier if you hold it towards one side of the object if it's a balanced thing like a pen or pencil
but after you learnt it and you wanted to do it on other things like a spoon or fork, just remember that it helps a lot if you hold it that the heavier part of the object is farther from your index and middle finger
My fingers are also long, it's a bit easy to do it on pencil rather than pen
Thank been practicing for 45 mins. As soon as you said spin like you snapping your fingers I got it twice in a row.
Me: Tries For The 1st Time
My pen/pencil: "I BELIEVE I CAN FLY"💀
I FOCUSED for the vid and now I have it down. Thanks Lukas!
Yo, I actually got it (what to do, how much spin to add and how to balance) within five minutes like promised!

No matter how many tutorials and attempts i do i am not even close >* I give up, i genuinely believe you have to be naturally talented to do this.

Quick random tip if you cant do it still
Try using a longer/heavier pen or duct tape the sides of a pencil untill you feel comfortable with the weight
BROOOOO THIS IS SM BETTER THAN THE OTHER TUTORIALS I literally was trying to learn for days from other videos but this mad it sm easier
Me: accidentally drops pen
My pen: *HIPPITY HOPPITY TIME TO TRANSCEND TO A COMPLETELY ALTERNATE REALITY*
WOAH!!!
I just did the thumb around(as you might guess this is my first time trying to do it).
Thank you so much for the video.
Seriously 😐 how long did it take you? This thing is so harddd I’ve only got it a couple times
@@thedogcooper01 exactly i’ve been trying for an hour AND IM FOCUSING
Idk i am practicing for couple of days now and like i can do it but i am very inconsistent sometimes I give too much force sometimes too insufficient force sometimes pen just spins on my thumb instead of around it and many more cases
I want to learn this SO badly!
Same here !
Once you learn it you cant go back
But u gotta focus…
Then learn it
famous last words :

With 80 other RUclips videos I learned hot to throw my pencil at my teacher and get suspended for possible violence, but this video was just pure pen spinning goodness
I got it because of you not consistent yet but I’m getting there thank so much for my first thumbaround

@@mhgamers7229 how did you do it
@@not_neet8298 I just kept spinning it slow and I got it

My pen fell (in love) at least 1234567890 times for this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This tutorial was amazing! I was able to start landing the thumbaround two times in a row after watching this! Now to just keep on practicing!

Sir hats off.. I was doing that u were saying but i accidently snapped it with pencil and that accident was so damn perfect that i learned it thank u
THANKS PIGME YOU ARE THE ONLY MAN THAT SKILLED ME TO DO THE THUMB AROUND THANK X
This actually helped so much and I'm so close to doing it after so many videos of confusing explanations
This should be the prerequisite video for learning windmills, if you get the snap and catch principle down you will get mills too.
Bro I'm literally so obsessed with pen spins right now I m trying to learn while my roomies asleep and lights off😭🤣
ive tried so many tutorirals and this is the only one thats helped me
He is one of the GOAT
If someone is trying to learn it and sees this i find it helpful to have the heavier side pointed down it makes it easier to go around your thumb
I just got it like really clean I gasped thank you so much
Bro you are so amazing I learned this in 10 minutes
Really helps, thanks. Me,"Focusing and practicing for 34 mins " finally one diocesan, thanks

Ty bro I LOVE YOU I TRIED YEARS TO ACHIEVE THIS
my thumb,index finger and middle finger was out of place that was the only reason why i dont get it thank you very much!!
Me*: **Trying to study with focus**
My Brain: *Wanna watch some cool pen spinning tutorial*
Me: yea ofc
Bro I kept on forgetting how to do it but now I finally learned
Thank you now I need to catch it properly I can spin
Thank you so much! The other tutorials I watched never showed me where to place my fingers doing the thumb around, I already knew how to do the thumb around I just needed guidance of where I need to place my fingers
Tried to learn the thumb around from a different video, did it but not a lot. I went to check this video, and did it perfectly everytime :)

A pen with one heavier end actually makes it easier… you can also flick it back and forth
Thank you so much for this video I finally leand the thumb around

I will be a menace to my school from now on by doing this every single time we have to write anything.

Yay! This helped so much! Now I’m consistently landing it
