Just saw some video and website about pen spinning

I wish I could do this but all I can do is watch and possibly fail miserably trying.

Before I get to the video about PenSpinning here is a brief Lesson from Wikipedia:

Pen spinning is a form of contact juggling that involves the deft manipulation of a writing utensil with one’s hands. Although it is often considered a form of self-entertainment (usually in a school/office setting), multinational competitions and meetings are often held

This pastime is also supposedly referred to as “rōnin mawashi” in Japan, allegedly because pen spinning is more prevalent among “rōnins”, or high-school graduates who take a year off in order to study by themselves in preparation for university entrance exams.

Presently, there is no documentation to show who started the pen spinning phenomenon. However, it is understood that a Japanese pen spinner named Hideaki Kondoh was one of the earliest pen spinners to start a pen spinning website.

Oh - You don’t know what a Theremin is? - Well it is a form of an early electronic music instrument that was invented by a KGB spy in the west and selling them was his cover. Weird but true. Want to learn about this really cool electronic new age (Old Age) musical instrument check out Theremin on Wikipedia.

But now onto the Video:

Here are some cool videos I found on the Subject of Reversal - I really liked the Dutch guy who took 3 months to learn how to sing Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin in reverse. The video has been around since 1993 and finally able to see it. Check out the backgroud at 5:50 you can catch some pigeons walking around backwards if you don’t believe this is the real thing. You can also check out the forward version that shows how he did this.
