What is Pen Spinning?
Pen spinning (PS) is a form of contact juggling that uses a small writing tool, like a pen or a pencil, to perform different tricks that not only sharpen your skills, but also amaze people.
You have probably seen Pen Spinning in one form or another. Perhaps it was a classmate who was spinning her pen effortlessly around her Thumb. Or you may have seen someone on TV or YouTube doing crazy stunts with a pen. Either way, if you are still not sure what PS is, head on to our Tricks section and start exploring.
Here's a video I made in 2003 that shows what PS is all about. And no, it's not just something you do because you're bored in class. Credits go to De'vo from Superhandz for the original soundtrack.

South California Gathering: To those who are interested, a few of us pen spinners will be getting together on July 21, 2007 at Brea Mall near the Los Angeles area.
This is a casual get together to meet other pen spinners, learn more about our art, and simply have fun. If you are a pen spinner, or have an interest in pen spinning or other forms of manipulation, you are welcome to join us. There's no entrance fee, but you'll need to arrange transportation and bring money for food. For more details, view this topic at UCPSB. Please post a message on the board if you'll be attending.
