Ep.153 How Many Rotations Can You Count? (David - Pen Spinning)

(David - Pen Spinning)

In this episode, I had the honour to have David as my guest. He shared with me his interest in pen spinning as his hobby.

Definition: Pen spinning is a form of object manipulation that involves the deft manipulation of a writing instrument with hands. Although it is often considered a form of self-entertainment (usually in a school or office setting), multinational competitions and meetings are sometimes held. It is sometimes classified as a form of contact juggling; however, some tricks do leave contact with the body. In addition to writing instruments, it is often also seen performed by drummers with their drumsticks. In fact, drumsticks are substantially easier to manipulate than pens, because of their extra mass and length. Pen spinning has quickly gained international popularity through online video sharing and forums. The hobby has been popular across the world since at least the 1970s.
