Fingeraround Series (index)

Basics

Rotations of Fingeraround

Fingeraround tricks can bear rotations for 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or more, in which the pen must be pushed only one time at the beginning of the tricks. In Fingeraround 2.0, for example, the pen goes around the finger twice by a single pushing, whereas that will be a combo of two fingeraround 1.0, if another pushing is added to between each 1.0 rotation of Fingeraround. Multiple rotations for 1.5 or more of Fingeraround tricks seem very difficult, on the contrary a few Fingeraround tricks can easily make 1.5 rotations, e.g. 'Indexaround Reverse 1.5 T1-12'.

Some fingeraround tricks are successful if their rotations of spin are integers such as 1.0 (= 2/2), 2.0 (=4/2), 3.0 (=6/2), etc. The other fingeraround tricks are successful if their rotations of spin are half-odd-integers such as 0.5 (=1/2), 1.5 (=3/2), 2.5 (=5/2), etc.

Feasibility of Pinkyaround 34-34

There will be two variations of Pinkyaround 34-34 possible, one is notated 5-SymmetricakGunman in Japanese name, the other is 5-GunmanReverse in Japanese naming system with the ring and piny finger crossed to push the pen.

Classification of Fingerless Fingeraround and its variations

There are some minor variations of Fingerless Fingeraround Normal and Reverse. Those tricks are simply Fingerless Fingeraround tricks, as they do not involve definite push of the pen by fingers at the beginning of the spins, and so some people may depreciate the trivial difference among them. For example, the tricks found in the last part of Counter Indexaround and Counter NeoSonic are also variations of Fingerless Fingeraround Reverse and Normal, in which the pen begins to migrate in the opposite direction, driven by the gravity and some intentional control of the entire hand.

So-called Korean Backaround should be the exact Fingerless Fingeraround Reverse

According to UPSB Wiki, a trick known as Korean Backaround is a Fingerless Fingeraround Reverse done at the tip of the fingers. Yet Korean Backaround is the most reasonable Fingerless Fingeraround Reverse, and Fingerless Fingeraround Reverse is considered not even to have to be done around the base of the fingers in particular, if compared to relation between other tricks such as Thumbaround and the Reverse and their fingerlesses. For a trick to be fingerless does not necessarily require the pen to spin around the base of the fingers. At the same time, Backaround is rather far from being Fingerless Fingeraround Reverse, due to the path of the pen. It is highly doubtful whether there will be any trick which is more reasonable Fingerless Fingeraround Reverse than so-called Korean Backaround left.

Relation between Anti-gravity and Fingerless Fingeraround Reverse

According to UPSB Wiki, a trick known as Anti-gravity is a Fingerless Fingeraround Reverse performed thoroughly with a single finger, in which the pen moves around a finger horizontally with the palm down.

Definition of NeoSonic

NeoSonic is defined as a variation of Fingeraround Reverse tricks in UPSB wiki, although it involves a little slanted rotations of the pen in which the pen moves rather freely form fingers.

Difference between Passaround and Pass

Passaround requires the pen to be flipped to spin freely around the finger, whereas in Pass is the pen held with two or three fingers during the whole trick. Passaround tricks are recently determined to be called corresponding Fingeraround tricks having rotations of 0.5.

What is Two Finger Twirl

There is a trick generally known as Two Finger Twirl, or Saw (ソー) in the Japanese community, in which the pen held by two fingers from different hands goes around both of the fingers at the same time (see the video below). Because the pen is held by two fingers during the whole trick, Two Finger Twirl may be considered different from any other Fingeraround tricks, although the pen moves around the fingers.
