Last Updated: June. 18, 2002 Number of Tricks: 62

Up to this date, there's no standard or convention for naming pen spinning tricks. Around the web, you may find different sites/people naming the same trick differently. This is often due to the misbelief that there are only a limited number of tricks that you can do with a pen, or due to the belief that nobody else has invented that trick before.To help make things less confusing for pen spinners, I created this list of names with all the tricks I've come across so far. In each column, there's the name of trick used by that Author/Site.

To make things easier, I've also divided the tricks in their respective families. If you don't find a trick where it should be, try looking under 'Others'. If you don't know which family the trick should be under, try using the 'Find' feature of your browser and type in the name of the trick.

Warning! This is a preliminar version of the names table. I haven't checked all the names with the authors of the other pen spinning sites, so there might be some mistakes here.
