Pen spinning, according to Wikipedia, is a form of "object manipulation" where one uses a pen, pencil, or other writing utensil and twirls it in various different ways. However, using regular pens and pencils aren't the best options for pen spinning. Most pen-spinners like to make pen mods, which are exactly what they sound like they are- modified pens that are tweaked and customized to make pen spinning easier for them. This article will teach you how to make a BICtory Pen Mod, which is a simple modification that requires equipment that can be bought virtually anywhere. The word "BICtory" is a portmanteau on "BIC" (a company which makes pens), and the word "victory." You will definitely feel victorious once you create this pen mod!There are two versions: BICtory Basic and BICtory Advanced, which uses more pens.
Steps
Requirements- You need two BIC® "round stic®" pens. These pens can be bought virtually anywhere, from office stores like Staples to shopping websites like Amazon. You also need a chopstick or a handy tool for removing the tip off of the pen, and a pair of scissors to cut the ink tubes. We will discuss that later in this article.[1]
Take the caps off the two pens and then break the "clip" of the cap with your hand or the scissors.[2]Advertisement
Take the "front part" (the tip that you write with) out of both pens. It should come off along with the ink tube.[3]
Remove the plug on the top of the pen with a chopstick. You can also use your teeth to bite off the plug. (NOTE: You only need to do this with one pen.)
Cut off about 7 mm off of each ink tube with scissors. This is important so the ink tubes can fit easier.[4]
Now take the ink tubes and insert them into the pen with no "plug." They go in on each side. (NOTE: The tips may not exactly fit onto the pen. You might need to tape one of them in order for the tip to stay on.)[5]
Take both of the pen caps and put them on.[6]
Follow steps 1-4 above. You will need two BIC Ultra Round Stic pens for this mod, which is longer. Step four is optional as the end result's longer.
Take the ink tubes out of the Ultra Round Stics (URSs for short). You may need to apply a bit of force.
Next, follow step five, but use the URS ink tubes instead of the regular ones.
Follow step six.

- QuestionWill using normal flat-ended round stic pens work?
Raymond BuiCommunity AnswerYep! Instead of using chopsticks, you can use wire-cutters and pinch with medium force just slightly behind the back cap.

Tips
- You can use PaperMate Eagle pens and this guide to make a pen mod. It won't really be a "BICtory," but it will still work.Thanks
- If you want to make your BICtory look more visually appealing, you could add grips and pen tips on top of the caps. A recommendation would be taking the grip and the pen tip off of two Zebra Z-Grip retractable pens. These pens should be available in most office stores (Staples, Office Depot, etc.), if not, you can get them online.Thanks
- You might need to tape one of the pen tips onto the mod, in case it doesn't fit.Thanks
Warnings
- If you choose to use your teeth to remove the "plug," make sure you don't swallow the plug.Thanks
