I was wandering if anybody could tell me what the trick is called in this video, it is around 1:39, it is the part where the yo-yo looks like it is going tilt off the string, but it just sort of revolves around the string and maybe give me a link to a tutorial. I can’t figure out how to do it by the video.  
Here is the video:  
Thank you in advance.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv\_BaHkxEmA](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv_BaHkxEmA)

That trick is called a gyroscopic flop. There are many variations of it, and different ways to do it. Andre has a tutorial for one of the ways on this site, and you can find many other’s on youtube/vimeo ^^
