Pen Flipping

Instructions

Step 1: Start Simple

  • Grab a pen and hold it in one hand.
  • Flip the pen in the air, making it complete one full revolution, and catch it again.

Step 2: Switch It Up

  • Now, switch hands and repeat the flip with your other hand.
  • Practice until you feel comfortable flipping with both hands.

Step 3: Double the Challenge

  • Hold a pen in each hand.
  • Flip both pens at the same time and try to catch them.

Step 4: The Ultimate Trick

  • Take it to the next level: flip both pens into the air and catch them in opposite hands.
  • This move is tricky, so take your time and keep trying!
Pro Tip: If you drop the pens, don’t worry—it’s all part of the fun! Keep trying and watch your coordination skills soar.
