Warning, 9 meg video, right-click, download & save before watching.
Remember how some of your classmates would twirl a pen in their fingers when they were bored in class? Well, these guys take it to a whole new level, it is fucking unreal. Watch the video and be amazed.

I can do some of that. I get really bored when thinking what to write in exams etc. so instead of clicking the pen and annoying the hell out of people, I do stuff like that (caught it off Top Gun, think Iceman did it).

I can do the basic "around the thumb" spin but that's it. One of my classmates could do a few other tricks but nothing like this. I guess these guys had some truly boring classes to come up with and practice those moves.

Obviously they really didn't find much to do with their pens in the form of writing due to either sheer intellect and speed or boredom. I'm not as good as I used to be when I was 14 and it depends what pen. A standard Parker pen works well, anything bulkier doesn't have as fluid a motion.
Which reminds me, I need another gel ink refill and they cost a couple of quid as it is.

I don't even know how to do the basic spin.

They make it seem as if the pen is actually a part of the hand.
*Goes off to practice*

Well you could have mentioned it here.
I am not sure if it's because I am tired or not seeing it clearly but I think it speeded up and/or slowed down at certain points.

Okay ... I didn't want to be impressed with that, and I was. I don't know why, but I was.
