Hello, spinners!
Alex Sukhov; is here and by the end of this video you will be able to do a nice trick
with a pen.
I will show you how to do the simplest and one of the hardest tricks in penspinningp
at the same time, a movement which is called a trick, while in fact it’s a mini-combo
– Fingerpass.
Oh yes, it is a fundamental trick and you have to know how to do it in order to make
progress in penspinning.
This trick the first one for the majority of all penspinners in the world.
And me too, I’ve started my career in penspinning with moving a simple pencil from one slot
to another as well.
And let’s make it clear from the very beginning.
You don’t have to master FingerPass right away.
The movement itself is pretty easy, but you would need a hell of a time to make it smooth
and fast.
So don’t bother, once you have got the idea and can make it somehow – go to the next
trick, which should probably be ThumbAround.
You see, I am pretty good at FingerPass reverse, but my Normal still sucks a little.
During the movement your pen goes through all the slots from slot 12 to 34 and than
back to 12.
This trick is one of those, which you actually can do with a simple pen, but of course it
would be much easier to learn it with a professional made penmod, which you can buy on NedPen.com,
delivery all over the world.с Alright, so how to do fingerpass.
First of all you stick the mod between your Index and Middle fingers.
It would be better to hold it as close to center as possible.
Look, the mod is parallel to the floor, Ring and Pinky are folded, push the pen with your
Index and lift Middle finger a little, so the mod stands vertical.
The main thing is it should pass the Ring Finger and when it does – lift Ring Finger
and fold Index, so it wouldn’t interrupt pen’s movement, and grip the pen between
Middle and Ring fingers.
By the way at this point it would be better to lift your Index Finger, would be helpful
very soon.
Remember, pinky is still folded, when the pen is in slot 23, push the pen with Middle
Finger a little and lift Ring, so it is vertical again, at this moment straighten your pinky
and grab mod between Ring Finger and pinky.
Of course you should fold Middle to let the pen go.
Congratulations!
You have passed half the way.
Now, when the pen is in slot 34, lift pinky a little and let down Ring finger a little.
When the pen is parallel to the floor – at this moment you should straighten Middle Finger.
This is gonna be a bit tricky, because your Middle should move pretty fast and it should
dodge the pen to let it move freely.
The main thing now is that your mod should be at right angle to Middle Finger, when you
see it is under it – let down your Middle, grabbing the pen, keep on letting Middle down
and lift Ring Finger.
Man, this is going to be the hardest point in this mini-combo.
Mostly because of pinky’s weakness.
Don’t bother to complaint in comments below, don’t say your fingers are short – you
really can do it no matter what, but it would take some time.
You can loop any part of this combo, whether in slot 12-23-12 or 23-34-23.
OK, let’s say you got it and ready to go on.
If you’re not – go back and watch the difficult part again.
There is not much left actually, all you should do is – repeat the movement with your Ring,
Middle and Index Fingers, which is much easier, right?
Let your Middle down, lift your Ring finger and when the pen is at the right angle to
Index - down your Index finger and squeeze the mod in 12 slot.
This would be the end of the trick, once again – you should not try to master it just yet.
Keep on doing FingerPass from time to time.
It is a good trick to practice, when you are somewhere, where you don’t wanna drop a
pen for any reason.
Otherwise there is no particular point to sit down and practice FingerPass solely.
So if you think this tutorial was helpful – let me know, right down in the comments
section how much time it took you to make 1 decent full FingerPass.
