A typical quote from a yoyoer who has used Alchemy: “Gee whiz. I sure love Alchemy yoyo string, but I do not enjoy how it doesn’t stay on my finger, and cuts up my finger. It slips off a lot and my precious 888 now has so many dings. _Cry_” Adam: “Fear not young lad! I have devised a way to stop this madness!” Lad: “Really? How?” Adam: "Simple! Take one pice of alchemy string, and one piece of polyester string. Cut 3 inches off of the top of both strings (including the loop). Then, tie the short polyester piece onto the large piece of alchemy. Cut off any slack that will get in your way, and there you have it! Alchemy without the hassle! Lad: “Wow! Thanks Adam! You’re like superman!” Adam: “No. I’m better than Superman.” THE END EDIT: This can easily break if you don’t do the knot right. ---

Coolness. Wouldn’t that put a knot in the middle of the string though? ---

> [@Apetrunk](#): > > Coolness. Wouldn’t that put a knot in the middle of the string though? Nope. It’s about 3/4 of an inch away from my finger. That’s why you cut it near the top of the string. ---

After it wears out a little, gets a little less slick, Alchemy is my main string right now. Still a Awesome concept, I never would have though of it. ---

Ehh, you’d still have some alchemy in the finger loop.
