Man on the Trapeze with his Brother and Sister
I'm not sure if this trick already has a name but I do this trick quite often so I'll give it one. This trick really shows off your trapeze skills.


Picture
You start off with a super fast "Man on the Flying Trapeze."


Picture
Flip the yo-yo off the string.


Picture
Let the yo-yo continue to swing around.....


Picture
....and around....


Picture
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.


Picture
The yo-yo lands on the string. You've just completed "Man on Trapeze and his Brother." (aka "Reverse Double or Nothing")


Picture
Flip the yo-yo off the string again.


Picture
Let it go around...




Picture
and around and land it on the trapeze again.


Picture
Once again, you flip it off the string.


Picture
Let it go around....


Picture
...and around.... This time you're aiming the yo-yo to land on the inner red string.


Picture
You land it on the inner red string. "Man on the Trapeze & his Brother & Sister." It's a bit harder to land it on this string but you'll get it with practice.


Like I said before this trick will demonstrate how well you can control the yo-yo and your trapeze skills. Flip it back and forth between "Man on Trapeze & his Brother" and "Man on Trapeze with his Brother & Sister." A butterfly is highly recommended.
