Things You'll Need:
- Yo-yo String
- Yo-yos
-
Step 1
Make sure there are no knots or tangles in the yo-yo string.
-
Step 2
Loop the yo-yo around your middle finger, between the second and third joint.
-
Step 3
Hold the tightly wound yo-yo in your hand. Position the yo-yo so that the section of string that is coming from the yo-yo to your finger is in the front.
-
Step 4
Curl your hand and arm as if making a muscle.
-
Step 5
Hold your hand over your shoulder and throw firmly down and out slightly.
-
Step 6
Aim for a spot a few feet in front of you.
-
Step 7
Turn your hand over so that it is palm down.
-
Step 8
Try not to let the yo-yo bounce as it reaches the end of the string. This will minimize the chance of the yo-yo catching and coming back up.
-
Step 9
Let the yo-yo land gently and "sleep."
-
Step 10
Return the yo-yo to your hand on the string before it stops spinning by jerking straight up.
