Slack Trapeze

Single-handed string tricks. One yoyo, usually one that does NOT come back on a tug. You land it on strings and move it through different shapes. This is the biggest modern style.

How to do it

  1. Throw a breakaway.
  2. Let some loose string form on purpose.
  3. Whip that loose loop around your other index finger.
  4. Land the yoyo on the new trapeze.
  5. Tighten and stabilize.

Tips

The slack comes from relaxing your throw hand, not from messing up. Use a smooth circular whip.

The physics

A loose string can wave around almost like a rope. You send a wave-shaped loop that wraps around your finger.
