The 'spin through the fingers' is the only way I've done it, but then I only do it for my own amusement, never while I'm actually playing. It works pretty well, and if you use a hefty stick, say a 5B, you can get a nice swift turn going on. It's satisfying to pull it off, but not very useful. I often do it with pens while bored.
The more traditional, illusionary, way is probably the easiest to pull off in a pinch, but ironically, I find it much harder. Just imagine you're holding your stick between index finger and thumb at your second joint or thereabouts. Now look at your palm, so the butt end of the stick is staring you in the face. Imagine kinda 'rolling' it by moving those two fingers in countermotion, so that the butt of the stick is moving in a rough circle in front of your face. That's how it's done.
