If you want to advance to more intricate yo-yo tricks, you will need to practice and master the Flying Trapeze because it is part of several other complex tricks. The Flying Trapeze yo-yo trick is definitely one that will impress your audience.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Throw a Breakaway. This is when you bring up your right hand up to the side by your ear and throw it to the side across your body at a 45-degree angle.

  2. Step 2

    Hold your forefinger of your left hand out.

  3. Step 3

    Let the yo-yo string wrap up and around the forefinger as it gets close to the end of the string.

  4. Step 4

    Position the yo-yo so that it falls on the string onto the axel as it falls over your forefinger. It should be spinning as it hits the string.

  5. Step 5

    Move the forefinger up so that it is even with the right hand and the yo-yo is spinning in the middle of the strings.

  6. Step 6

    Bring up the yo-yo by pulling both hands apart, popping the yo-yo up. Pull your forefinger off the string as it goes back into your open palm, which you should have held upward at the bottom.

Tips & Warnings
  • The higher you bring your arm up to your right before you throw, the slower the yo-yo will go, which will give you more time to catch the yo-yo.
  • Bring your forefinger as close to the end of the yo-yo string as possible, which makes it easier to catch the yo-yo on the string.
