NeoSonic

From UPSB

NeoSonic is a fairly simple pen spinning trick. The name of the trick, given by Kam, comes from the early pen spinners who would inadvertently perform this trick while trying to learn the Sonic. The name is short for "Neophyte" Sonic, neophyte meaning "beginner or novice". The pen travels over a finger in a Fingeraround Reverse motion , yet is caught between the thumb and index finger or inside the thumbflap.

Normal: the pen rotates in a clockwise motion (right-handed performance) for 1.0 rotation throughout the entire trick, caught in the T1/TF slot.
Reverse: the pen rotates in a counter-clockwise motion (right-handed performance) for 1.0 rotation throughout the entire trick, starting from the T1/TF slot and traveling over a finger to be caught like a Fingeraround Normal.
