The trick in steps
- Practice without spin
Practice this one first with the yoyo not spinning, as with all picture tricks.
- Make an L-shape
Start the same way as Robin Hood: make an L-shape with your throw hand and pull the string through.
- Pinch and pull up
Move your hand down, pinch the string, and pull it upward and through. The strings you first grabbed with your non-throw hand should drop, leaving your palm facing outward.
- Reveal the tower
Turn your palm down and move it to the side so the inside of your palm faces in towards you. The Eiffel Tower will start to form.
- Drop, tug and catch
Unfold the strings and drop them, then tug the yoyo back to your hand.
