You will be able to feel the plug spin just the slightest bit as well. The first pin should be nice and springy untill you set it. Once you have set it the bottom will fall back down and will no longer be springy. If it is stuck up top you have over set it. Try putting your pick all the way to the back of the plug and slowly pulling it out. You can feel each individual pin drop and that will give you a sense of where they are.

If you can't feel the difference, this is probably due to a lack of experience. You should do Digital_Blue's lockpicking exercise. It's stickied under the FAQs. After you run through this exercise, you'll be able to tell the difference between a set pin and one that isn't set.
