The spin-around-the-thumb bit I'm able to do. Saw a Japanese exchange student do that in high school, then spent a couple days worth of classes figuring it out.

1: Track down a nice new pencil.
2: Place the eraser against the tip of your index finger.
3: Place the knuckle of your thumb just below the pencil, with the middle and ring finger on the opposite side.
4: Flick!
5: If 4<successful goto step 2

yeah, I do quite a bit of pen spinning...I'm not good at it, but I can do some basic stuff to impress people. but speaking of that superhandz website, I also do quite a bit of card manipulation, I'm much better at that.
