Bank Deposit This is a way to deposit a yo-yo in your pocket. Throw a spinner slightly out in front of you instead of straight down. As the yo-yo nears the ground, spread your legs and allow the yo-yo to swing between them and upward behind you. The yo-yo’s own momentum will make it curve up and drop right into your pocket!
Machine Gun Throw a fast spinner. While the yo-yo is spinning, place your second finger behind the yo-yo string, about six inches down from the loop. Drape the yo-yo string over your second finger while bringing the other hand out in front of the second finger. Now drape the yo-yo string over the middle finger of the hand with the loop on it. Now move your second finger out in front. Use it to aim your machine gun, and you can "rat-tat-tat" at your favorite pretend target by doing Walking-the-Dog on a table or chair at the same time. Slip your second finger out from between the two strings, and jerk the yo-yo up to return it to your hand.
Spaghetti After learning all these tricks, you might get a little hungry. So try eating Spaghetti! Throw a fast spinner. Drape the yo-yo string over your second finger, about four fingers down from the loop. Now drape the string over the top of your second finger of your other hand four inches down from the first finger. Continue to wrap the yo-yo string around these two fingers as if you were twirling spaghetti around a fork. When you almost run out of string, bring the whole wad to your mouth and pretend to eat it. Mmm, Mmm, good! Let go of all the string, make all gone with your spaghetti, and the yo-yo will pop into your hand!
