The Hour Glass Advanced Yo-Yo Trick

"ANDRE BOULAY: So the next trick we're going to show you is a trick called Hour Glass. I think it's named Hour Glass because of the shape it creates. I'm going to show you what it looks like real quick, in between two triangles that it goes back and forth between like so. The whole trick itself looks like this when done smoothly. That's Hour Glass, let me break this down to the first step. What you do is you start with the 1-1/2 mount just like so. Very much like And Whut in the beginning where you pop the yo-yo out, you do that same move there and instead of putting it onto the triangle, you actually open it up so that you have two triangles of string on either side of the yo-yo. This is actually what you used to swing-pivot the yo-yo around and the yo-yo hits this one triangle to your left multiple times. The trick itself can be done pretty much anyway you want it to, I'm just going to show you the way I learned how to do it. So, to start out, as I mentioned you pop out, you pull--open that triangle to do that as it's coming out, you actually take your three fingers, pull that triangle towards yourself. Put your thumb in here too. You want your thumb and your pointer and your middle finger to open up that triangle. Same thing on the other side, you want your thumb and your pointer finger open up this triangle. It should look like this. Take a minute and look how--if you can get this far. From there, you want to swing the yo-yo back towards your hand to land it on to the string, just like that, practice getting that far, that's basics of part one of Hour Glass, so comes out pop it up, land it on that string. So that's Hour Glass part one."
