a.k.a The Doc Flop
Whoo...this is one awesome trick. It's so simple, but it will baffle you at first. Basically, the yo-yo tilts 180 degrees, breaking away from its typical vertical plane. Definitely add this this trick to your list of tricks. This trick was created by Doctor Popular
Step 1
 |
Throw a trapeze. You are now going to do a Mindbend, but instead of swinging the yo-yo clockwise, you are going to swing it counter-clockwise. |
Step 2
| Keep it swinging... |  |
Step 3
 |
Still swinging; remember not to let your right hand index finger get in the way at all. In fact, it shouldn't be sticking out at all I was just too lazy to change my picture. |
Step 4
| You are now in the Mindbend position. Start pulling your hands apart. Make sure to pull them straight apart. |  |
Step 5
 |
Continue pulling straight apart. |
Step 5 continued
| Some people, when pulling apart, like to pull the left hand strings into a triangle as shown (with the thumb). |  |
Step 6
 |
The yo-yo will start to tilt towards you, continue pulling the same direction |
Step 7
| The yo-yo will continue to tilt, at one point it will be horizontal. After the yo-yo is horizontal, slowly start to not pull as hard |  |
Step 8
 |
The rest of the flip happens quickly. Don't tug, at all (or tug barely) and the yo-yo should continue to flip |
Step 9
| After the yo-yo flips, you should be back where you started pretty much. Dismount however you like. |  |
