First guy I would place about on par with a mime. (I guess mimicry is the word but it doesn't feel quite clear). Anyway, that's not much of a status in my world but what he's doing is sort of cute for a very brief time.
Pen spinners, below that, epic waste of time. Possibly that kind of manual dexterity can be translated to something that I will not fast-forward through but as of right now? ---> no.
High marks for the thread though. Good use of theme.
