Confederate Flag / Jamacian Flag
Throw a fast sleeper
Grab the string with all four fingers of your left hand near the top of the string
Reach down with all four finger of your right hand and grab the string
Reach down with your left hand again and grab the string with all four finger
Reach down with your right hand again and hook the string with your pinky, you now should have a confederate flag.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
British Flag
Throw a fast sleeper.
Start like a Confederate Flag by grabing the string with all 4 fingers of your left hand, then your right hand, then your left hand again to create an 'X' in the yo-yo string. Be sure to keep this formation rather small
Twist your hand so the string goes around the underside of your right pinky then up between your right middle and ring fingers.
Reach down with your left hand and pinch the string between your left middle and ring fingers, so you have a piece of string going across the 'X'.
Reach your left thumb down and hook the string , lift it up and hold it so the string draps over your left thumb and goes down behind the middle of the 'X' to the yo-yo. If everything went right, you should have a british flag.

Eiffel Tower
Throw a sleeper.
Place the backs of your left thumb and index finger against the string with your palm facing you.
Pull your right hand down below your left hand and hook the string with your thumb.
Put a twist in the string with your left hand to form a loop
Reach your left hand through the loop and grab the string coming from the yo-yo. Let the loop slide off your left hand onto the string.
Clamp the string coming form the yo-yo between your right index and middle finger, This is the bottom of the tower.
Pinch the top and you should have what looks like an Eiffel tower.
Drop all string and the yo-yo will come back to your hand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Y' is for Yo-Yo
Make an eiffel tower then hold it upside down so it's likes like a 'y'.
You should have the yo-yo hanging next to the tower so it looks like an 'o'. Now your string and yo-yo spells 'yo'.
If you are doing this for an audience make sure it says yo to them, not 'oy'

Double Star
Thanks to Cody Hudson
Throw a good sleeper and put your left middle finger against the string between your body and the yo-yo.
Do a one-handed star with your left hand by wrapping your left pinky, index, ring finger and thumb around the string. It might help to practice doing one-handed stars with the yo-yo on your left hand.
Keep the star around your left hand (which must be very small) and do a star with your right hand at the same time. |
