How to Spin a Pillow

1. Stand up. Hold the pillow in one hand and with the other hand stick up your index finger directly in front of you.

2. Place the middle of the pillow on top of index finger and steady the pillow with the other hand.

3. Rotate the edge of the pillow with the stabilizing hand as if you were spinning a basketball

4. Slowly, in very small concentric circles, move the index finger under the pillow in the same direction as the spin.

5. With enough inertia the pillow should be spinning on your outstretched index finger. Drop other hand to your side. Perhaps take a drink or eat something with lose hand and all of your friends will be amazed, or at least moderately impressed.
