Abstract: A hand-held amusement device is provided for spinning a ball. The ball spinning device has a ball shaft having a hand-held portion and a finger portion. The hand-held portion is configured to be grippe by a user's hand. The finger portion has a distal end which includes a receiving space that is adapted to receive a connection shaft. The ball spinning device has a cup that receives the connection shaft. The cup has a recessed hole configured to receive a bearing ball. The bearing ball is in contact with the connection shaft providing a low friction surface which allows the cup to freely rotate on the ball shaft.

Abstract: A hand-held, motorized amusement device is provided for spinning a ball. A small battery powered motor, easily concealed in the palm of one hand, is attached to a shaft that extends upwardly from the hand and is concealed by one or more fingers. The end of the shaft supports a ball to be spun with the assistance of a small cup or by being inserted into the ball. When the motor is turned-on using a variable speed switch, the shaft and the ball spin, thereby creating the illusion of manually spinning the ball on a fingertip.
