Thumb Spins - Spin the hat around your thumb
Hold the hat in an inside grip and spin it so the top of the brim stays in contact with the thumb. After a single spin catch it again in an inside grip.
Once you've mastered singles try longer spins. This trick is very versatile and can be used to add lots of flourishes. Try adding one in anywhere that you use an inside grip, or just throw one in with your hand outstretched or up above your head.

Summer is coming little by little here in Finland so we were brave enough to go outside to get some footage.

This move can be done with or without the extra spin on the back, i like to vary it. Keep your hands together in a prayer position all the time you are doing this move or it doesn't count. If you can't get this move try continuous steves first, they will get you used to the motion.
My personal records for 9 ball cascade, 10 ball asynch fountain and also a nice 11 ball flash to finish it off. Equipment used in this video can be found at www.oddballs.co.uk
