Pencil Tricks: The Spin
Take a long pencil and hold it carefully between your index finger, middle finger and thumb. Make sure that your middle finger and index finger are at least an inch apart and all the fingers should be pointing upwards. You should grip the pencil very lightly with your middle finger and also relax your wrist. Now extend your index finger and fold your middle finger so that it is resting on the inside of its last joint exactly on the thumb. Move your index and middle finger in back and forth motion and keep this momentum. At first it might be a little difficult to this pencil trick, but with a little practice you will be able to master it.
Pencil Tricks: The Twist
Fold your hands and place them in front of you so that your fingers are pointing upwards. Now place a pencil horizontally in the webbed space between your thumbs and index fingers. Hold the pencil firmly in between your thumb and middle finger, turn the fingertips of your right hand away from your body and the fingertips of your left hand towards you. Now move the right thumb in the space between the left thumb and index finger. As your hands turn, your right thumb will move across the back of your left thumb. Tilt your hands forward when the fingers of your left hand are pointing towards your body. The pencil will move to the starting position.
