Tutorial: Basic Combos

It looks like nothing, pen spinning without combos. So, this time I'll share you some simple 'linkages', because there are unlimited combos we can done. Actually, you can try to make combos by yourself, but I hope this list will ease you to build a combo.

It is quite a list, so maybe you can simply do "ctrl+f" if you open this blog on PC or maybe "find on page" if you open it on smartphone. If you get an old phone, please just simply go to internet cafe, problem solve.

Tutorial: Thumbarounds

Thumbaround (TA) is a trick other than sonic and pass that has many variations. In this post, I will share to you about some variations of Thumbaround except for thumbaround (basic) and FL TA Rev because I have already posted them.

Thumbaround Reverse (TA Rev)

TA Rev or thumbaround reverse is a thumbaround that spin reversely. We use indexfinger instead of middle (an advanced pen spinner can do it with other than indexfinger) as a starting position.

Thumbaround Harmonic

Thumbaround Harmonic is a combo trick consist of TA and TA Rev that done continously. TA Harmonic only have 2 keys to master it other than TA and TA Rev. They are reflex (all pen spinning tricks needs reflex) and power control. 

Fingerless Thumbaround (FL TA)

For me, it is really harder than FL TA Rev. How about giving it a try?

Extended Thumbaround

It is a combo of thumbaround and a FL Around. If you can do the thumbaround and indexaround or another around, I am sure you can do this one.

Double Thumbaround

Double thumbaround consists of a TA and FL TA. It is usually become a finisher after combos.

Fake Double

This combo look like extended TA or double TA, but actually it is different. I don't know how explain this one. Just watch the video.

Thumbaround to Air

It is a combo of TA and an aerial release. After throwing it, you can catch it or you can continue it with another tricks.

Thumbspin

It is a trick when you exactly spin your pen at the top of your thumb. The only problem in this trick is reflex. When you have mastered TA it is usually hard to learn, but still it can be learnt. Don't give up and watch the video.

This is the end of this post. If there is comments or suggestions, you can just comment down here.
It might be the end of the basic tricks post, because I think I have posts all of the basic tricks.
So, if you want to learn an advanced one, please wait until I finished made the posts.

You know what, if you can learn all of the tricks in this post and all in the previous posts, you have already become a successful pen spinner.

See you next time!

Tutorial: Sonics

Sonic is one of the pen spinning tricks that has many variations (It is not the blue one that appear in old games, hahaha). In this post I'll share to you all of the sonic variations except sonic (the basic one), twisted sonic, warped sonic and neosonic.


Are you ready to SONIC?

Demon's Sonic (0.5 Sonic 43-32 -> pass rev 42-21)

This Demon's Sonic is a combo of half Sonic and pass reverse. The trick that you need to learn is 

Sonic 43-32. pass reverse can be done in seconds (except for flexibility). Here it is, the tutorial.

Sonic Reverse

Well, it is really the same normal sonic, but this time we do it reverse. Oftenly, people get stuck at the finger reflex. While we do sonic at the same way we do charge, we do sonic reverse with the same way with charge reverse. If you can do charge reverse, it will be easier for you. Ok, it's time for the tutorial. . .

Inverse Sonic

This is a trick that pretty similar with sonic. The difference is that when we do sonic, the pen spins behind our middle finger. While in Inverse Sonic, the pen spins in front of our middle finger. Once again, reflex problem because of mastering a trick with a similar move does happen with this one. Be patient and enjoy the tutorial.

Sonic Rise 

Sonic Rise is a combo consist of sonic 43-32 and sonic 32-21. Pretty easy though.

Flush Sonic

Ok, this one really need flexibilty, especially your middle and ring finger. It is really a hard one, I still cannot do it until now. I salute you if you can do it. By the way, this is the tutorial of Flush Sonic.

Sonic Clip

It is a sonic actually, but we do charge while the pen is clipped when we are doing sonic. I don't know how to explain this one, but trust me this is easy.



Ok this is the end of the post about sonic. If there is something wrong please give some comments so I can fix it. See you next post!

Tutorial: Shadow, Around, Twisted Sonic Bust and Triangle Pass

Hello there! This time I will share about the Shadow, Twisted Sonic Bust and Triangle Pass trick. In addition, I think it is good to learn around before the twisted sonic bust.
First of all, these tricks are different from each other, but it can be linked with the palm down twisted sonic.

Well, that is a few info for you. Let's get started!

Shadow

This is a trick where the palm is facing down. The pen starts at any finger slot and does 0.5 rotations in the charge position before traveling up to the top of the hand. The pen should revolve 0.5 times on top of your fingers. As it nears the end of the 0.5 revolutions on top, slowly lift any of your fingers to catch the pen . At the end, a final 0.5 revolutions of charge should end the trick. Doing a total of 1.5 revolutions.

Around

Around is more likely Thumbaround. The difference is that around is done at other fingers.

Twisted Sonic Bust

Twisted Sonic Bust is a palm down twisted sonic with a bust (FL Around) addition. Bust is rarely done individually. I cannot found the video of bust itself, there are only twisted sonic bust.

Triangle Pass

This is one of the popular trick where the pen starts on the top of the end of any of three of your fingers (too many "of" I guess). Usually, the fingers used in this trick are the thumb, index and middle finger. Starts by pushing the pen a bit with your middle finger. The pen should rotate 0.5 times on the thumb and index finger while your middle finger is going back to the first position. So, the result is 0.5 rotations, but it can be done more than that by continously rotating the pen. The more advanced spinner can do this trick on another fingers such as index, middle and ring or middle, ring, and pinky.

Tutorial: The Infinties

The Infinities

Cool Name Huh? Actually, the trick is not really 'infinity' (Almost all combo can be done infinitely). Infinity is a combo consist of wipers and passes. It is a bit hard to put this trick in combos, but still it can be done.

There are four infinitiy tricks, consist of:
-Infinity

-Double infinity

-Triple infinity

-Quadruple Infinity

The Double Infinity does not mean that you do infinity twice (you will know it once you see the video). It is also happen for the triple and quadruple.

Infinity

Double Infinity

Triple Infinity

Quadruple Infinity

I am sorry that I could not explain so much about this trick, but I hope you can learn it from the videos.
See you on the next post!
