How to do basic pen tricks

As promised for nearly the whole school year now, I have finally explained how to do two simple pen tricks. There are many such videos on YouTube and elsewhere, but many (students) have requested me to explain it too, so here it is.

Also, as for the title of the vid as it appears in the video itself. "Stupid Pen Tricks" was meant to be funny. I don't really think it is stupid. Apologies to any who are inadvertently offended by my choice of title.

As of March 21, 2008 this tutorial was favorited 107 times! That's crazy! Clearly, a LOT of people want to know the secrets to pen spinning. And, like me, need to get a life! Ha ha.
