Star
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
- Throw a sleeper.
- Pinch the string with both hands.
- Wrap the string around your fingers in a star pattern.
- Open your hands to show the star.
- Drop everything and bring the yoyo back.
Tips
Practice without a spinning yoyo first.
The physics
Just string geometry. The yoyo's weight is what holds the strings tight.
