| Double or Nothing into Atom Smasher |
This is another very cool trick. Here's the breakdown of the trick. You do a 'Double or Nothing' then do "Atom Smasher" sideways. This variation of the trick has 3 underpasses and one somersault. The version I'll be teaching you will begin with a "Man on Trapeze & his Brother" (aka "Reverse Double or Nothing"). It then goes into the 'Double Smasher.'
NOTE: This trick is done with the string formation directly in front of you and parallel to your body. |
You start off with a "Man on the Flying Trapeze."
|
Flip the yo-yo off the string.
|
Let the yo-yo continue to swing around.....
|
....and around....
|
Let the string make contact with the right index finger about 2-3 inches from the yo-yo. You're aiming for the yo-yo to land on the outer yellow string.
|
The yo-yo lands on the string. You've just completed "Man on Trapeze and his Brother."
|
It's now time to go into a 'Double or Nothing.' Flip the yo-yo off the string.
|
It continues to travel around...
|
...and around...
|
Let it go around your left index finger.
|
...and around...
|
It then goes around your right index finger.
|
Now it goes around your left index finger again and aim it to land on the outer yellow string.
|
Once complete, you're in the 'Double or Nothing' position.
|
We'll now switch camera angles so you can see it better. It's now time to start the "Atom Smasher" stuff. Here is the first underpass. This is done with the right hand and with the red string.
|
Since the trick is done directly in front of you and parallel to your body, the right hand goes down and to the left as the string is threaded into the groove.
|
You'll arrive at this position after the first underpass.
|
It's now time to do the second underpass with the blue string and left hand. Lift your right hand to the right and up. Begin to thread the blue string into the groove.
|
Remember, only thread in the blue string.
|
After the second underpass, take your left hand out of the string formation.
|
Now insert it from the other side. Your left index finger should be pointing at you.
|
The last underpass will be done with the yellow string and left hand.
|
Thread it into the groove.
|
With the 3rd underpass complete you come to this point.
|
Time for one somersault to finish it off. Pull in the blue strings and rotate.
You can basically do as many somersaults as you want. I usually do 2-3.
|
If you let go of the white string that goes around your left index finger you'll end up in this trapeze-like position. You're basically done, you can finish it with a "Flyaway" dismount, which is flipping the yo-yo up in the air and then catching it. .
|
| There you have it, the "Double Smasher." Try with it in combination with "Man on Trapeze with Brother & Sister. Have fun.
