Is your hand really flexible?
Can you move each finger independently?

in that video the guy uses his middle finger to push the pen around, I use my ring finger. It makes the whole motion seem more smooth this way.

It's not really that hard to do it just takes time.

It doesn't matter, spinning a pen/pencil around your thumb is easy. Takes like 2 minutes to learn it and once you do it, you'll start doing it every time you have one in your hand... it's annoying! Don't do it! :roll:

practice with like, twirling something bigger..

I learnt it from always playing Donatello from the Ninja Turtles when I was a kid so I could spin a stick, and then suddenly I realized I could also do it with a pen......
