Around the World on a Yoyo
YoyoTrick tutorial
Around the World is a classic, and you can repeat it as long as the yoyo keeps spinning. Give yourself plenty of space first - this is not one to practice under your grandma's crystal chandelier.

The trick in steps
- Set your hand position
Hold your throw hand down by your side with your palm facing forward.
- Throw it out
Swing your arm, then release the yoyo down and in front of you.
- Let it circle once
Instead of tugging back, let the yoyo swing all the way around in one full circle. Keep your hand in the same place.
- Tug and catch
When the yoyo comes back around, tug it back and catch it underhand.
Tips
- Release the yoyo when your arm is still behind your back
- Throw hard so the yoyo doesn't come back unexpectedly
- Don't loosen the string, or the yoyo will come back unexpectedly
- Catch with your palm facing up (underhanded)
Common mistakes
- Catching with your palm facing down
- Releasing the yoyo too late, when your arm is already out in front of you
- Throwing too slowly
- Yoyo returning to your hand before it completes the full circle
- Using an unresponsive yoyo
