The trick in steps
- 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.
- Slide the back strings off
Slide all the back strings off your non-throw hand index finger, keeping the string farthest from you attached.
- Move your hand inward
Move your non-throw hand inward and around the yoyo twice.
- Twist your finger
Twist your throw hand finger outward twice.
- Pull the strings apart
Gently pull the strings apart to undo the knot and drop into a Trapeze.
- 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
