Jamaican Flag / Texas Star / Other picture tricks
Picture / String Figures. Tricks where you make a shape with the string while the yoyo spins below, like the Eiffel Tower. They are more about how you wrap the string than how the yoyo spins.
How to do it
- Make the finger-string shape slowly.
- Use the sleeping yoyo as the bottom anchor.
- Hold the shape open.
- Take it apart in reverse order.
Tips
These are mostly memorized string paths. They don't need fancy yoyo skills.
The physics
The yoyo just sits there spinning. The trick is in how you fold the strings.
