Flick
More actions
The trick had been done for some years, usually lumped together with the slightly different semi reverse.
History
In 2007, Eso made a tutorial[1] and coined the term 'flick', which has then been used for tricks with a similar push.
Variation
Flick TA
For the normal variation, the pen is held over 2 while touching the back of 1 and with a sudden extension of 1, the pen goes around T.
In a flick TA rev, with the mod held in T2, the middle finger is extended and the pen goes around T, counterclockwise. This is in contrast to a normal TA rev in which the push comes from the index finger.
The name flick TA comes from Zoda[2][3] and Lindor, who in 2008 proposed it as a new trick in the FPSB laboratory. While flick TA was probably new, flick TA rev had already been done multiple times, being a trick that characterized Bonkura’s style. As for the origin of the word flick, it was coined by Eso. In 2007, sketching proposed in the NC to add tapped and flicked as modifiers, although the idea didn’t stick.
Flick T12-12
The trick flick T2-12, although considered just a variation in English, had its own name in Korean in the early days. To do it, first start by doing a flick, and while the pen is spinning on the thumb, bend your index finger slightly so that the pen rolls behind it, finally being caught in 12.
