I cannot deny the possibility that I have mislooked, or been misinformed or simply forgotten that a particular phenomena that could easily refute against my thoughts below.

Most pen spins around the thumb in one minute | Guinness World Records
Most spinning pen fingerpasses in one minute | ギネス世界記録

Another media I found was from Pearl where he has uploaded fragments of pen spinning world records scattered across the streaming websites, which were presumably collected into one video.
The above was just some discoveries I wanted to share before I got into writing this post.
