…? That’s a GT, but the string needs to get out of the curl. If you look at yoyoman1165’s tutorial on Chopstick trick, there’s something similar.

Hey man thanks for the advice, but i am not quite sure what you mean by it needs to get out of the curl? I think they are just two different variations 🙂 ---

What I mean is that the string is curled up in your video. It needs some movement to resolve into original shape. ---

And I said it needed to resolve to it’s own shape, how does that make you think I said it’s not a GT? ---

Well there actually is a wrong way of doing a GT; split the atom. 😛
