James Garner (aka Bret Maverick)

I was watching a rerun of Maverick on TV this morning and there's a scene where he some fancy gun twirling and then flip the gun to land in his holster. The thing that makes this a great scene is it was done in 1959 without any special effect. Here's the clip of the scene plus a home movie of him doing his gun twirling in a parking lot.
