Variations
Blaze Ring
The blaze ring is a trick in which, with the thumb and index making an O shape, the pen rolls on its inside, pushed by the movement of the hand. There are various versions. In the first version, which comes from neoknux_009, the pen rolls perpendicular to the ring made by T1.
In the second version, which was first done by Lindor, the pen rotates oblique to the O-ring, thus being a combination of roll + charge. Ponkotu also discovered the trick independently and almost at the same time. This version with charge was done by Menowa* with both hands, making an O shape both thumbs and index fingers, in a video called “kaleidoscope”, thus the 2-hands version is often called like that.
Backhand Tracer
Backhand tracer is a palm down roll over the back of the hand, pushed by the movement of the fingers and not by tilting the hand.
backhand tracer = (PD) roll 12-23>34
Although it’s sometimes attributed to Kam, Kam mentions in Pentix how the trick was discovered by a spinner called Alexander Koo. It was first posted to Pentix in April 2002.
Drill
With the mod perpendicular to the table, put the tip of your index finger on the upper tip of the pen. Then, assisted by the other fingers, make it roll in place.
