Watching that video just brought back all those feelings of inadequacy... ;) Dude, in high school I felt like a defective Asian because all my Asian classmates knew how to twirl pens and I didn’t.

It was like magic, like you said. The pen defied gravity. Imagine my delight when several years later I learned this trick has been widely attributed to Asian people. Us? Oh yeah. The great discoverers of spaghetti, ketchup, bubble tea, and now pen twirling.
