Eiffel Tower

Basic / Responsive. The starter style. You use a yoyo that comes back when you tug the string.

How to do it

  1. Throw a sleeper.
  2. Use both hands to pinch and cross the string into a tower shape.
  3. Spread your fingers to show off the shape.
  4. Hold for a sec, then drop the strings and bring it back.

Tips

This is mostly about how you fold the string. Practice slow.

The physics

Nothing fancy here — just the yoyo's weight pulling the strings tight to make the shape.
