Spinning Tricks - Single Looped String (pt 2)

Around the Corner

Throw a fast spinner. Put your hand in the "I swear" position, and move your elbow around in front of the string.

Keeping your elbow high, lower your hand to the string and give it an upward jerk.

The yo-yo will climb the string over your arm and drop in front of you where you can pull it back to your hand.

Rock the Baby

Practice making the cradle with a dead yo-yo before trying it with a sleeping yo-yo. With the yo-yo hanging at the end of the string, hold your yo-yo hand up like a policeman saying "stop."

Reach between your thumb and first finger with all four fingers of the other hand and pull the string back down until it forms a triangle.

Swing the yo-yo through the triangle a couple of times. Drop the string and the yo-yo will return to your hand if it is spinning fast enough.

Tidal Wave

From a fast spinner, place the index finger of your other hand on the inside of the string and push/ swing the yo-yo forward and up.

NEEDS 2 PICS When the yo-yo starts back to your hand, push your yo-yo hand straight forward, and the yo-yo will do an inside loop and return.
