Pen spinning

I'm trying to penspin, here's some of my thumbarounds, this was when I was first trying to get it, I'm better now (but still a success rate below 10%).

Don't worry, Cyrus. Just keep trying, you'll eventually get it. Reminds me of when I was first trying to do a sonic. I kept doing it really badly and slowly, until one day in class, I got it to be done properly and quickly. I was like OMGWTFBQ!?!?
 
Does anyone know where you can learn the multiple twisted sonic bust? It's one of my favorite tricks but I can't find a good tutorial anywhere. I already know how to do the twisted sonic bust.
 
lol. I'm not so good either...

Charge, thumbaround, sonic, Bak, and sometimes fingerless thumbaround.

It's kinda cool, but then you realize that you're spinning a pen. Then it starts going downhill.
 
I'm a drummer and I stickspin. But It's harder with a lighter sticklike thingy.. or pen. ha. but pencils with like clay on the ends or erasers work really good. long pencils. or you can buy them online. I too recently started due to a vid by thewestionian
 
I'm trying to do a combo with just thumbarounds, what it basically is, is:

Do a thumbaround with 3 & 4, caught with 2 & 3.
Do a thumbaround with 2 & 3, caught with 1 & 2.
Fingerless thumbaround.

What I'm having trouble with is catching the pen at the midpoint, & having no pauses. Any tips?
 
Wow. This is an interesting hobby...

I would like to learn, but it just seems so HARD. :(
I tried the thumbaround a couple of times (just watched a tutorial on it), but I have zero success. My pencil just keeps hitting my index finger before hitting the ground. lol T_T
