Title: Levitator To Bak


Look Into the Sun - September 6, 2007 11:25 PM (GMT)
I'm currently trying to learn the levitator to bak, but I'm a bit confused on how the pressure builds up for the levitator. I was reading the levitator thread when I came across the levitator to bak, but the the thread really doesn't have much on how to do the levitator.

Anyone wanna clarify?

First learn half-taps. Set up the levitator by placing the pencil across the side of the hand and thumb as if you were in the middle of a half tap. Now press your index finger across the top of the pencil sandwiching the pencil between the thumb and side of the index finger. Now apply force to the pencil with the thumb as you would for a half tap. Since the index finger is holding the pencil in place you can load as much force as you can control before moving the blocking index finger. After learning to statically catch the levitator progress to allowing the pencil to spin when it lands on your hand. From here you can link to whatever. This video demonstrates a Forward Levitator to BackAround1.5, in pencil spinning shorthand that's a For Lev-Bak1.5.

that work?

Imo it would be better to learn the reverse levitator the bak, the pressure build like the "Korean" way of doing the fake rev..

Have you seen nagi's famous video of that wonderfully executed bakriser to the rest of his combo? its basically the same thing, but the aerial is similar to a fake reverse riser, and you do a bak after.

Um, nope. I haven't watched that many pen spinning videos.

So, since the rev levitator utilizes the pressure building position of the fake rev, it spins clockwise and the levitator utilizes the pressure building position of the half tap so it spins counter clock wise?

Weis catches the pen by having it land on his fingers while it's doing an OK sign, right?
