The trick in steps

  1. Start the Braintwister

    Begin in a Trapeze, then do a Braintwister. Swing the yoyo inward and out between your arm and body.

  2. Land a Double Trapeze

    Land the yoyo in a Double Trapeze.

  3. Roll off into Trapeze

    Roll off with a Braintwister and land in a Trapeze on the other side.

  4. Swing over your finger

    Roll off once, then move back to the other side. Swing the yoyo once over your non-throw hand index finger, then swing again and land it on the string.

  5. Unravel to Trapeze

    Swing out to unravel the string so you are back in a Trapeze.

  6. Bind the yoyo

    Do a Sidestyle Bind to return the yoyo to your hand.
