Does anyone have a link to a different tutorial on this trick?  
I think ‘formula 1’ is not the common name for it. I am a little vague on the final string set up.

I still can’t do it but here’s another video. Pretty sure it’s the same trick.

Thank you, that is it. Gotta watch it a few dozen times, but it is a nice view of the last stage. I just found this too, I guess if you can do a top trick you can call it whatever you want!

Between these three vids I have figured out the string placement and I’m working on it with just the string and a static top . Doing this trick wouldn’t be so hard if a spin top wasn’t there messing everything up.

OK, for the 5 or 6 folks that look at the spin top forum and might be interested,  
i have been getting the hang of this trick, but it is pretty hard for me to do consistently. One thing i learned, it is way different with different tops, so if you find yourself struggling with a trick, try switching up tops if it is an option. I am having the best luck with a top that is like the STB.  
Still can’t do it with my mouth closed, but i am getting close.
