I have practised for weekssssss but still cannot do this. I know how to do the trick but I can never land the yoyo on the string šŸ˜¢ should I need to pop the yoyo higher?? I have not enough time to pull the string by the free hand ---

No. GT Laceration, Brent Stole, I think the only difference is Brent Stole has a twist where your pointer finger would go. ---

Here comes another problem when I do reverse slack trap, I need to throw the slack until my throw hand cross the free hand and need to throw very hard. But I see prople do it just move a little bit and then the slack can travel around the free pointerā€¦ Is that my skill of throwing slack is not right?? ---

> [@Spencer L.](#): > > No. GT Laceration, Brent Stole, I think the only difference is Brent Stole has a twist where your pointer finger would go. The trick on this site is a Brent Stole. Iā€™m not sure why Andre wanted to call it Triangle Laceration instead. Technically it is a triangle laceration, but everyone knows the trick as Brent Stole and thatā€™s what the video that first showed it called it (by Alex Berenguel). The funny thing is that the trick called Green Triangle Laceration (by Houdini) is actually more of a Green Triangle Whip, but because thatā€™s the name Houdini gave it, it stuck.

You really just have to practice whipping hard. Make sure you make a good solid circle motion. The reason why some people move their hands so little is because they have good technique, and their whipping is strong. > [@brent stoles](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/brent-stoles/3631/3): > > > [@brent stoles](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/brent-stoles/3631/3): > > > > > [@brent stoles](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/brent-stoles/3631/3): > > > > > > Can you do hidemassa hook?

> [@Spencer\_L](#): > > I was trying to do Hidemash Hook (which I canā€™t) and I landed in a Brent Stole. How? That means that you arenā€™t hitting your finger with both strings. For hook, you are whipping your finger with both strings, and with TL, you whip the bag string. ---

Right, but tricks often have little to do with their name. ā€œKwyjiboā€ really doesnā€™t make me think of popping the yoyo upā€¦ The full name of the trick is ā€œThe trick Brent Stole from me at nationalsā€ which was created and named by Alex Berenguel. Here is the original video. [http://www.theglasslab.com/bigvids/docpop/BrentStole.mpg](http://www.theglasslab.com/bigvids/docpop/BrentStole.mpg) ---

Iā€™d see that Brent Stole does actually have SOME revelance to Green Triangles. Brent Stole is just a Green Triangle with a wrap around your index finger. It has the same loop that a Green Triangle does, they kind of are the same. There are many ways of getting into a GT, but only one for a Brent Stole. ---

No no, i meant that the words ā€œBrent Stoleā€ has nothing to do with Green Triangles. Just the words. If it does, please tell me.
