The trick in steps

  1. Wrap three times

    Start as you would for a Double or Nothing, but go around your fingers three times, then land on the outer string.

  2. Slide the back strings off

    Slide all the back strings off your non-throw hand index finger, keeping the string farthest from you attached.

  3. Move your hand inward

    Move your non-throw hand inward and around the yoyo twice.

  4. Twist your finger

    Twist your throw hand finger outward twice.

  5. Pull the strings apart

    Gently pull the strings apart to undo the knot and drop into a Trapeze.

  6. Bind the yoyo

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

Tips

  • Start in Triple or Nothing using fingers only
  • Land in Triple or Nothing without any stops or back-and-forth swinging
  • Twist your non-throw hand around the yoyo to create the "knot"
  • Twist your non-throw hand index finger twice to end in a perfect Trapeze

Common mistakes

  • Twisting your throw hand around the yoyo instead of your non-throw hand
  • Not twisting your non-throw hand finger before releasing into Trapeze
