My teacher loves it when i book spin because he likes to try to knock it out my hand before we enter class. Can anyone else here book spin? I think its a great exercise for each finger because you can change the weight of the book just by simply finding a thicker book

I can spin books pretty well. At the beginning it's hard and you don't know what to do that the book rotates. But if you get the technique once it's not very hard anymore. If I want I can spin for half an hour or so, but after 10 minutes it gets boring, haha. It's very fun if you release the book, catch it and continue rotating.

That's exactly what it is. I recently discovered the connection this manip shares with dough tossing. (pizza dough spinning) Same manip in concept except one is rigid and the other is flexible, much like the connection between poi and staff... Very interesting imo... :)

I've always wanted to learn how to spin a book... But everytime I try it spins out of control Dx Is it like spinning a basketball? Maybe I just lack talent...
