Beginners Tricks.
Enjoy.
Okay, so this is requested in my last video. Its how to—okay this is requested on my last video. It’s on how to do some new tricks and then you only need it for like a month or two now, I guess and I know some tricks guess.
So first thing you need to learn is basically how to throw a sleeper and a good throw which is getting the yo-yo to be really centered in the ring. So, it's balancing the—because it's hard to do tricks that you need a lot to spend time if your yo-yo is quicker or whatever. So, anyway the sleeper, first thing is get the flex, give it a strong throw and then make sure you pay attention where the other was, the whole way down and make it straight and make sure not to turn your wrist, it will fall sideways or anything. Just follow all the way down until you got that motion down and then once you get to about here, you know let go of your risk and let the yo-yo fall. It's kind of like a snap and then after you throw the yo-yo, you’ve got to turn your hand over. See you’re ready to catch it.
I have mine set to being not been able to come to this. Anyway, it's just the first shake basic sleeper are all the way down. Even it goes a good snap at the end, make sure you make—make sure you’re following it straight all the way down and have a nice, good sleeper that will last a minute or two or three, I don’t know, depending how good stuff, that is. And that’s the sleeper.
Okay so the next trick is—I guess a basic trick, I don’t know what else I could—something I could teach. First you got to take your strong sleeper, oh this is very good. so throw a strong sleeper and then what you going to want to do is—I kind of put my fingers in this way and then pinch right here because this is a no-throwing hands, this is the throwing hand. Okay now I'm throwing hand, the pinky and the thumb. Put on the intended string like that but towards yourself and then you can just kind of lift it like that but then you pinch right here on the string so that the yo-yo and the string up here is to the left of your body so that it extends this way. And you can even do dizzy babies when you spin it around circles like that and it won’t knot you’re string, it’s just going to make this one move. That way, when it drops there’s no knots. Anyway, so just bring it in and you just kind of loop it like that, makes like a weird loop. It’s a—more like this, bring your hand in and then come down and pinch the string here. Go in and out, dizzy baby, you just swing your hand over and over and throw it in like that and then your yo-yo—but let me get this back. And that’s how to rock the baby, your cradle, cat’s cradle, walk the cat in the cradle, I don’t know what you call it.
So now that you’ve got the cat’s cradle and the sleeper or rock the baby, whatever you want to call it, I’ll teach you another easy trick that’s really, really sleeper. You do a sleeper, you bring it here, got three fingers, grab your fingers back over the three fingers again to the left and then grab with your pinky and that’s called the confederate flag or Jamaican flag, I don’t know. There’s a bunch of different flags that have the cross and you could call it whatever you want. And, that’s pretty much how you do it, it’s really easy, just dup-dup-dup.
All right here it goes. So, throw a good sleeper, make sure it’s straight before you try the trick. If it’s starting to lean and you can hear it go—like that, just go ahead and bring it back up right away, you want to practice your sleeper before you try any other tricks. But this is it right here. You bring your hands like you’re calling someone a loser backwards, you know, then you bring it from the outside of the string in on both the fingers, okay? And now, what you got to do is you got to swap them—okay so you got your thumb here then you bring your thumb—okay so bring your elbow right here, right? From the outside in from both fingers so it’s sitting there. Then you bring your thumb from the outside, in on your throw that then you do that. Now, that will allow you to twist this around, until we got this X. So you start out like this, you start out like this, and then your thumb, then you twist this around until you make an X. And then you grab these two fingers with this X you made and you grab the string in here like this. And then when you connect the string that’s connected to your finger to the other string, just kind of adjust and pull, you’ll get yourself a little Eiffel Tower. And that’s the basic steps. We’ll go do that one more time. So—
Okay so you bring an L into your thumb, so non-throw hand outside, in, out, throw hand, thumb, outside in, grab, flip this hand in to reverse your finger so that you’re like spinning the string around your fingers, you create a little loop. Then grab the yo-yo string with your non-throw hand through that loop and pull it up and then bring your finger that has the string on it down and you have yourself a little Eiffel Tower. Now that’s just a basic one, hope that’s detailed enough, if not, let me know. I don’t think that gets on the camera right because I can't tell what the angle is. And that’s about it.
Okay so the next trick is the trapeze, it’s a little more—you know, when you get better. Actually what you got to learn first is—move this thing back, is a breakaway which is making a fist like this and like you push strong there or something and you’re going to throw the yo-yo sideways like I said, the sleeper practice, your throw so that the yo-yo goes completely straight the whole time. Don’t angle your wrist or anything or else it will slip off or get—and then—so you’re going to throw it, the yo-yo is going to come down, you got to kind of guide it with your hand or else it will just drop and anything. So the guide, the tension with your hand and you got to bring the yo-yo around, all over your shoulder and catch it, which I'm not going to be able to do because it’s not a responsive yo-yo.
Okay so now I'm using a Dunking Bumblebee, a yo-yo jam. This one is really responsive, it’s six-foot long, long time, comes up to your hand wherever you want it, pretty much but it’s good enough to do string tricks, it’s really hard, just keep practicing, stuff like that. But it always comes up to your hand. This is why I chose this yo-yo, not that it’s a better yo-yo than the Dark Magic, it’s nowhere near Dark Magic. It’s a better you—returns itself to my hand from the breakaway. So, the—it’s a yard so—. Practice your throw, all the way down. So you come around and when you throw, you kind of bring your hand in if you’re going to catch it sideways like this, so—like your hand, bring your palm. You’re bringing your palm out and then n and then you’re going to catch it. So that way, the string doesn’t miss out during the catch.
So you go up and then catch
[Demonstration]
Like that, that’s a breakaway. That’s actually a trick that you can even learn before you do the trapeze and cool tricks, the trapeze or double or nothing, which is hard to get in this yo-yo. But yes, so learn the breakaway next. Just go around, catch it—careful, don’t be afraid of the yo-yo unless you hit yourself then you could be afraid for maybe a day or so. And then, just go around, make sure it goes over your shoulder, that’s actually the trick. You can't make it go—it will come down, it’s not a breakaway. The breakaway has to have enough momentum to go over the shoulder because if you’re going to do a trick, you have to do the breakaway, you need enough momentum to go over your finger and back under the shoulder. But there are ways around that. If you take your finger and then pull the second it hits, it will cause momentum for it to come around. But yes, practice the breakaway and you can do some cool tricks with the breakaway. So breakaway.
[Demonstration]
And that’s the breakaway.
