Picture Tricks

Do the Flying Saucer, quickly make a cradle with the string, and rock the saucer through the cradle before it stops spinning.  Almost always gets tangled.

Throw a good, fast Sleeper. Bring your yo-yo hand to your chest and hold your other hand straight out in front of you. Open your non-yo-yo hand so that your fingers are flat, and your fingers and thumb make an L. Drape the string over the back of your thumb and fingers, bring your yo-yo hand down and pinch the remaining string about halfway down. Bring your non-yo-yo hand down to be on the bottom, while bringing your yo-yo hand up to be on top. You should now have a triangle of string through which you can swing the yo-yo.

Tips:
- Practice the set up of the cradle without the yo-yo spinning. Just let it dangle down there until you are quick enough making the cradle that you can do the trick with the yo-yo spinning.
- Be sure not to swing the yo-yo around the legs of the cradle or you might get a knot.
