Tower

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

  1. Throw a sleeper.
  2. Use both hands to make a vertical string tower.
  3. Hold the shape while the yoyo spins below.
  4. Drop and bring it back.

Tips

Like Eiffel Tower but a different tall shape.

The physics

The yoyo's weight pulls the strings tight so the shape holds.
