go into a houdini mount.now,your going to under pass into the string that goes around your TH pointer.you should be in the third step in a cold fusion only with your thumb in the loop.now swing the yoyo off of the front string and let it hang over your TH pointer now drop the loop off of your NTH thumb.there should be a loop on your NTH pointer.your going to twist your finger in towards your body and point it back out.now use your NTH thumb to open the loop.now swing the yoyo in a rainbow like motion to put it onto the back string of the loop.now drop every thing off of your TH.your in a GT.now pop out the back and bring it up.yaaaaaaaay!!!you just learned houdini’s GT.P.S.if you land on the back string of the loop but land in any thing but a GT,you twisted your finger the wrong way.do it the other way and youll get it.also notice my new sig.you like it.i do own all of those yoyos btw.if you have any questions just post them. i promise i’ll answer them as quick as possible.hope you like it.yo-bear ---

sorry,i dont have any equipment to make a vid.but like i said ask questions if you dont understand a part.wait,i have an idea.since i dont have camera equipment,maybe if someone who has equipment learns the trick,they can make a video.i know it takes some work but it’ll be worth it.whoever makes it if they make it,can they not say it was them who made up the trick.people have done that before and it is disrespectful.thx in advance. ;D ---

Go into a Houdini mount. Now,your going to under pass into the string that goes around your Throw-Hand pointer. You should be in the third step of a cold fusion only with your thumb in the loop. Now swing the yo-yo off of the front string and let it hang over your Throw-Hand pointer,now drop the loop off of your NTH thumb. There should be a loop on your NTH pointer. Your going to twist your finger in towards your body and point it back out. Now use your NTH thumb to open the loop. Now swing the yo-yo in a rainbow like motion to put it onto the back string of the loop. Now drop every thing off of your Throw-Hand. Now your in a GT. Now pop out the back and bring it up. Yay! You just learned Houdini’s GT.P.S. If you land on the back string of the loop but land in any thing but a GT,you twisted your finger the wrong way. Do it the other way and you’ll get it. Also notice my new Sig. You like it. I do own all of those yoyos by the way. If you have any questions just post them. I promise I’ll answer them as quick as possible. Hope you like it. yo-bear Fixed 🙂 \< I’m a YYEGP - Yo-yo eXpert Grammar Police ---

It’s when i pop out the back is when i get the knot. Sorry, but I just completely messed up your trick and somehow made my own little variation. Do you mind if I film my variation? ---

That’a a fun trick. heres a variation: instead of twisting away from you, twist the other way and when you put it on the string put your hand under the yoyo and you have a cross hand GT. Hope you dont mind me posting the variation :wink: ---
