Mastering the Ladder Escape Yo-Yo Trick

"ANDRE BOULAY: Okay, this is part three of Ladder Escape. Right now, we are this far. We've gone up through, you dropped to the triangle and hit over here. From here you actually pop the yo-yo off the string, you drape the yo-yo over your non-throw hand and let the string hang down. Next, you're going to take your non-throw hand thumb and grab the string, hand over your hand here. Then you're going to transfer the string onto your thumb like that. You're actually going to take your throw hand and reach and grab the string from underneath and drape it over your hand like so and then you're going to take the string and swing it away from your body. This is towards to you guys but away from your body, then it comes over your hand and you actually want to land the yo-yo through this part. So, I'm going to show you from a different angle what this looks like. So from here, you can see we popped it up to this triangle, came up on the string right up on it again, this is where it parts you in, you pop it out, bring your non-throw hand up against the string here, you drape this down, take your non-throw hand thumb, grab the string, take your throw hand, bring it into the to the loop and you're going to take this underneath like that, swing it over, and this is the loop that you dropped the yo-yo through. One more time I'm just going to show you, so you might want to watch, watch the video carefully for this part, maybe up to part two, so this is that, you pop the yo-yo up, thumb, drop down, reach in, twist toward yourself. Shoot the yo-yo through here once just like that and the last part is you take your non-throw hand pointer finger. You raise this up like so and you actually drop the string with your thumb and aim it in towards the yo-yo just like that. It's going to bring it into a triangle, that's the last part of Ladder Escape. So one last time, the trick looks like this. Once you pop it to the triangle that last part, you'd pinch, swing, and guide it into the loop, and that's Ladder Escape."
