Spinning Flip Top Playing Cards Modern thermometers may be moreThis unusual top performs an acrobatic 180 degree flip mid spin! It's an impressive trick, but it will take some skill and practice to master. The key is to gently sweep the bottom of the top with one hand, while the body of the top rotates up and over your other hand. Once you get really good, you can do it one handed. The technique requires a gentle touch and excellent timing but the end result is extremely satisfying. A tippe top on steroids.
