Pen Spinning

When I used to debate competitively in high school, we all worked hard at enhancing our powers as debating masters through the pen spin. Most of us just could spin our pen from a typical writing position, around our thumb, and back again. These Japanese kids are kung fu masters by comparison. The heavy metal soundtrack is essential too. These precise, blazing fast moves are only done justice by the wail of a guitar played by a man in tight pants and teased long hair.
