I have been learning the gyro flop that uses the houdini mount but I can’t get it to gyrate at the end? Any tips

Pull the string tight and experiment with moving your hands back and forth, you can get the yoyo to spin in either direction. Try both.  
There are a lot of topics like this one, look at the last post in this thread:

Btw, houdini whip gets you into the same thing as the houdini mount.

Just keep the strings from touching the sides, that’s the best tip I can give you.

I think this topic should be moved to the Yoyo tricks section on this forum
