This topic's definitely for you!

For beginners, please feel free to use this thread to ask questions about relatively easy tricks to learn after the Essential Eleven.

I'll go ahead and add my first suggestion - a pretty fun and easy trick to learn is the Frying Pan.  I don't know if there's a link to a topic about it, but I took a few pictures of it here and here

It's pretty straightforward - catch the Tama on the side of the spike between the big and small cups.  It takes a good bit of balance as you will learn any tilt of the Ken will make it fall off, but I think it's a good fun trick to learn.  You'll occasionally catch the Tama on the other side of the Ken, like on the handle.  That's perfectly fine when that happens too.

I'm currently working on doing some kind of combination of big cup -> frying pan -> little cup.  It's tricky, but if I am able to do it and get a video, I'll be sure to post it up.

Cool idea for a thread, [user]quadraptor[/user]! With videos it is sure to come in useful. Don't forget the great Trick Archive put together by [user]Dimensions[/user], it's a great resource. Look forward to seeing what you come up with!

How about...

Earth Turn, because you can practice one after every Swing In or Spike.
Jumping Stick, http://www.kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,796.0.html because you can practice one after every Aeroplane.
Falling Down, http://www.kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,421.0.html because you can practice one after every Lighthouse.
