    It's pretty simple actually. You just need to spin it long enough until you get the hang of it.

    but i dont get how they make sense. Whichever way i spin it my index finger gets completely in the way?

    Well clearly you need to break the bones in your index finger or snap it off completely.

    I too am useless at this.

    I can actually...been doing it since HS (mid-90's). We had a Korean algebra teacher that was the MASTER at it. He told us if we could demonstrate it by the end of the second semester, we got extra-credit. lol... It just takes lots and lots of practice. BUT beware...once you figure it out, its highly addicting. I cannot hold a pen/pencil in my hands w/o doing it. Drives others crazy. Good luck!

    can you give any better instructions uberwerks?

    Well you'll have to make your fingers more agile. Learn how to control your fingers during the spin.
