An m-twist spin removes a trivial arc from aknot and spins the resulting knotted arc around the boundary of a three-ball in S4, inserting m full twists during one revolution.
Zeeman'stheorem says that the complement of an m-twist spin fibers over the circle with fiber the punctured m-fold cyclic branched cover of the original knot. In particular, the 1- and −1-twist spins are unknotted.
