Skyrocket Yo-Yo Trick
The Skyrocket Yo-Yo Trick is a blast. If you want to take a trip into outer space, here's your chance.
How to Do the Skyrocket Yo-Yo Trick:
Step 1: Start by throwing a fast Sleeper.
Step 2: While the yo-yo is sleeping, take the string off the finger of your yo-yo hand with your free hand. Hold the string with your free hand just below the loop.
Jerk the string up and watch your yo-yo blast off.
Step 3: Jerk the string upward and let go of it as the yo-yo passes your hand. The yo-yo will blast off like a skyrocket. Pull both hands back to clear the way.
Try catching the yo-yo in your pocket.
Step 4: Once the yo-yo begins to descend, have it "splash down" in your hand. If you want to show off a bit, try catching it in your pant's pocket.
