Ferris Wheels / Trapeze Sommersaults
Strart by doing a trapeze, you might want to throw it a little more back to front then usual.
Push your right index finger into the double string between your yo-yo and your left index finger.
Push your right hand forward and up and your left hand back and down. Do 1 or 2 loops then stop and reverse the loop. The yo-yo will do a loop and come off the string, push your left finger up to send the yo-yo straight up in the air.
Catch it when it comes back down to your hand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backwards Ferris Wheels
These are kind of like pullovers from a trapeze, unlike ferris wheels they loop counter-clockwise.
Do a trapeze. Point your right index finger towards you and pull it over your left index finger and down so you are draping the string over your left index finger.
Pull your right finger down and your left finger up in a pullover type motion to send the yo-yo in a counter clockwise loop over your left index finger. Do it again or finish however you'd like.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rock the Baby on the Trapeze
Throw a hard trapeze.
Insert your left thumb into the double string right next to your left index finger then reach over with your right hand and pinch the double string halfway between the yo-yo and your left hand.
Spread your left thumb and index finger out to form the cradle and bring it around under the yo-yo. Rock the yo-yo back and forth a few times then reverse the procedure back to the trapeze. Flip the yo-yo off the string into your hand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lindy Loops / Double Trapeze
Throw a very hard trapeze.
Push your finger into the double string and do a ferris wheel.
The yo-yo will do one loop, then as it comes around again keep your left finger still so the yo-yo loops around your left finger and lands on the single string again.
You should now have 4 strings going from your yo-yo to your left hand and one string going from your yo-yo to your right hand. Make the yo-yo do two backwards loops by flipping the yo-yo off the string twice. catch it when it comes back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Trapeze Regeneration
Start by throwing a trapeze.
Flip the yo-yo off the string and bring it into an astro loop around your right hand and land the trapeze again.
Do this once more for the third trapeze and you have done one of the hardest regeneration tricks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One-Handed Trapeze Loops
Start by throwing a trapeze.
Bring your right index finger to your left index finger. Put your right finger into the loop that your left finger is holding.
Remove your left finger from the loop. You should now have the yo-yo in a trapeze on only one hand.
Swing the yo-yo in a few loops counter-clockwise. Let your finger slip out of the loop and the yo-yo will fly out amd come back to your hand. You can try clockwise loops, but the yo-yo won't wind up very well. If you want to make the trick more interesting, do two clockwise loops, then three counter-clockwise loops and let go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trapeze to Double or Nothin'
Throw a hard trapeze.
Flip the yo-yo up off the string and move your fingers closer together.
Swing the yo-yo around your right index finger, under around your left index finger and back onto the string.
Finish as you would double or nothin' by flipping the yo-yo up and dropping all string.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Double or Nothin' to Trapeze
Do a double or nothin' then pull your right hand out of the first loop.
Pull down with your right hand and swing the yo-yo over your left hand.You should then have a trapeze.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Double or Nothin' to Trapeze #2
Do a double or nothin'
Swing the yo-yo off of the string and continue to undo the double or nothin' by swinging the yo-yo off of your left index finger and off of your right index finger.
Pull your right hand to the right and land the yo-yo on the single string and you should have a trapeze.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rock the Baby on the Eiffel Tower
Throw a hard trapeze.
Reach your left index finger and thumb through the double string that's between your yo-yo and left index finger and hook the string coming from your right hand.
Pull your right hand down so the string is draped over your left index finger and hook the string between the yo-yo and your left index finger with your right middle finger to form a loop.
Spread your left index and middle fingers apart and let the loop that's over your left hand slip off your hand onto the other strings.
Pull your left hand down to form the bottom of the tower and pull your right hand up and pinch the top to make the top of the tower
To end this trick, make sure the yo-yo is behind the bottom string and drop all string from both hands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man on the Flying Trapeze and His Brother
Throw a hard trapeze.
Flip the yo-yo off the string out to your left, off your index finger, over the top of your middle finger, around the bottom of your middle finger across your body.
Have yo-yo string hit the bottom of your right index finger, loop around and land on the string.
Flip the yo-yo up and drop all string or if you have a lot of spin left reverse the trick and go back to a trapeze.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crossover Trapeze
Thanks to Andrew Cooksey
Throw a breakaway: halfway through, when it is straight up and down, push your left index finger into the string.
Push you left hand all the way, under your right hand, so your arms are crossed.
The yo-yo should have looped around your left index finger (which is on the right side of your body) and kept going to the left, so there are 2 strings going across your body.
have the yo-yo loop around your right index finger and land on one of the two strings, preferablly the one furthest away from you.
If you did it corectlly, you should have your arms crossed. The string goes from your right middle finger, where it is tied, across your body, around your left index finger, across your body around you right index finger and to the yo-yo.
You can also do Crossover double or nothin' by letting it loop around both index fingers one more time. You may also try doing a trapeze then flipping the yo-yo off the string and going into crossover trapeze, or starting with crossover trapeze, flipping the yo-yo off and going to trapeze.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rock the Baby Near the Eiffel Tower
Thanks to Patrick Hale
Start by throwing a breakaway. Stick your left finger out like a trapeze but don't let the yo-yo land on the string, instead let it loop around your finger and hang there.
Swing the yo-yo up around your RIGHT index finger and land the yo-yo on the string furthest away from you. You should now be in a man on the trapeze and his brother.
Bring your hands close together, and with your left hand, reach your thumb and index finger through the loop they are in and grab the string coming from the yo-yo. Pull the string through the loop into an Eiffel Tower. What you should end up with as an Eiffel Tower with the yo-yo on the string in one of the legs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Double or Nothin' Cradle
Thanks to Sasha
Start with a double or nothin'.
Pull your finger out of the first loop on your right hand, then stick your left thumb through both loops on your left hand.
Use your left thumb and index finger to spread out the loops on your left hand to form a cradle. Pinch the triple string with your right hand and rock the yo-yo through a few times. Drop all strings and the yo-yo will return to your hand
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atomic Loops
Throw a sleeper and do a rear mount like the beginning of a braintwister.
Bring your right hand up over your left hand like a double skin the cat.
bring your right hand down and put your right index finger into the loop that runs around your left index finger and the yo-yo.
With your right index finger in the loop, pull your right hand down and under the yo-yo while threading the left string into the yo-yo groove.
You should now be in a position like the last stage of split the atom. Push your right finger into the double string and do a few loops. Drop the loop off your left finger and finish like a braintwister.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barrel Rolls
Start with a split bottom mount, like the first part of split the atom (the part before the first underpass)
Pull your left finger forward and under the yo-yo, like split the atom, then immediatly follow by pulling your right finger forward and under the yo-yo, so you are threading the string that runs between your left and right hand under the yo-yo. You should end up back at the split bottom mount.
Do more barrel rolls, or finish by doing split the atom.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Split the Atom / Atomic Bomb / Atom Smasher
This is the most complicated, neat looking one-handed trick. Start by doing it this way and when you get good at it you can add more loops or try the sleeper.
Drape the string over your left index finger and pull your right hand down.
Place your right index finger against the string 2 inches from the yo-yo.
Flip the yo-yo up over your right index finger onto the string (the one furthest to your left).
You now have what's like a trapeze on one hand. pull your left finger into the double string and do a loop. (you can do more loops here when you get good at the trick).
Now with your left index finger still in the middle of your one-handed trapeze, push your left index finger into the single string furthest away from your. Pull the string down under the yo-yo, it temporarally leaves the string groove. Continue pulling the string down under the yo-yo toward you until it has gone back into the string groove on the other side. You should now have a single string on the side of the yo-yo closest to you and a double string on the side furthest away from you.
Put your left index finger against the double string (still with your left finger in the middle of your one-handed trapeze) and pull your right hand down so you're draping the double string over your left index finger.
Insert the left string of the double string into the string gap and coninue pulling your hand down and under the yo-yo. You should now have a double or nothin' with your left finger pointed towards you.
Pull your right index finger towards you into the double string. Move you right hand up and back and your left hand down and forward to do a loop. (you can add more loops here when you get good at the trick).
Now reverse the directions of your fingers to do another loop but halfway through drop the first loop off your left finger. You should now have a trapeze with your left finger pointing towards you. continue looping in the same direction and the yo-yo will come off the string out in front of you like a double skin the cat. (you can do a backwards braintwisterfirst when you get good). Swing it into a For a more complicated beginning start the trick with a pullover using your left middle finger instead of index finger. As the yo-yo comes around have it loop over your left index finger then over your right index finger onto the left string and continue as usual.
