Penspinning is NOT some kind of "trick," it is an art.

"Presently, there is no documentation on the beginning of the pen spinning phenomenon. The earliest record of pen spinning comes from a student in pre-World War II in Japan (Asahi Shimbun January 31, 2008, 37th page). While some in Asian countries performed pen spinning in the 1990s, these consisted of basic tricks such as the thumbaround and the finger pass."

Pen Spinning reached Taiwan around (I think) the time of Japanese Invasion, around the early 1900's. It gained popularity in the 1960's along with an influx of Japanese businessmen and students. Penspinning is a traditional art from Japan that has earned it position in Taiwanese culture and arts.

So next time you're about call a pen spinner weird, remember the tradition and history of penspinning, and appreciate the art
