I can’t seem to land magic drop no matter how many times I try I’m getting frustrated
I have a talent show in a week and if I don’t get in enough tricks I won’t be able to make it
I seriously need help some one please help me ☹

when u do the magic drop, try to spread ur thumb and pointer finger as far apart as possible
but honestly, no one is going to see that move when u do it on stage. For a performance, u want flashy tricks, not technical ones (no one is scoring u on string hits)

daniel dietz does a great job at using flashly, body tricks

If you want the grand prize do things that people who don’t know yoyoing will love. Do body wraps, grinds, smooth flowing tricks. Oh, don’t forget the gyroscopic flop. Everyone loves that.

also, magic drop has to be done from a breakaway. That was my problem when i was learning it.

I’d suggest choosing tricks that you can already land at least 90% of the time. You are going to be in front of a crowd and you won’t be as focused on your yoyoing as usual. Think about putting in those tricks, that require little to no thought, in a highly entertaining format.
Good luck!

Don’t worry I’ve preformed before (I’ve won 10 talent shows 🙂 ) and its a small audience just like 50 ppl not much 🙂
