Thumb Around Normal Thread

Use this thread to discuss the ThumbAround (note, ThumbAround Reverse and Harmonic have different threads).

Brief
Desciption: The pen travels around the thumb in a counter-clockwise
rotation (right hand, opposite for left) of 360 degrees. The trick can
be broken down as a push initiated by the middle finger, a spin around
the thumb (the COP starts below the thumb and ends above it), and a
catch by pinching the pen between the Index, Middle and/or Thumb
(catches may vary somewhat).

TA, thumbaround, is a simpple and pretty easy trick. This can be done with the push of any finger. Generally its done with either the fingers 1 and 2.
First, decide which finger to push with,generally easier with finger 2, then place the pen with it resting on the finger after it. If, finger 2 was chosen you would rest it on finger 3. Then use your pushing finger to "push". The push is more of a snap, but just the motion of the snap. Keep your thumb straight and still. Don't worry about it falling because it won't unless you don't catch it.
The catch, it's fairly easy all you have to do is once it has gone around your thumb just open your palm and catch. The more difficult way is to catch it in between fingers 1 and 2.Kinda, hard to explain but you'll figure it out on your own, it comes naturally.

Tips:
-Don't push with too much force it will just make it harder for you to catch
-keep your thumb still and straight up the whole revolution around the thumb
-PRACTICE

Hawakan niyo po ang mod pero dapat ang index pati thumb ang hahawak pagkatapos ang index ay itutulak ang mod para umikot ang mod sa thumb.

Kaya tinawag itong thumbaround.

Ang short name for Thumbaround ay TA.Tinawag na TA kasi 360 degrees ang pag ikot sa thumb.
