Electric fan (and its variations) is really one of those “pat your head and rub your stomach” tricks. The one Grawrd does is actually exactly as it looks, it is the move from matrix (the second roll), with you holding on to the string at one point (so the die flails around as you do the spin). This vid shows a great angle: [http://www.begin2spin.com/entry2.php?tid=119](http://www.begin2spin.com/entry2.php?tid=119) Yeah, it just takes some practice to get everything moving. The same goes for the variation of electric fan (the one so many people do in freestyles) where they spin the die with one hand and do 1A with the yo-yo and for helicopter. ---
