I’m trying to learn magic drop, I’m doing all the motions, except when I try to land the yoyo on the back string, it lands on all of them. Please help. ??? ---

Try moving your nonthrowhand away from you (forwards) a little bit just before the yoyo lands on the string. Also, try pointing your NTH index finger down to separate the strings some. ---

^ may I also add the string rejecting is caused by the string touching the response system while the yoyo is spinning in reverse which causes the string to “reject” and get spat out: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/b/7/0b714e49ae1d60e7aeb84722d1d03bed0c49a05a.jpeg "Part2: Rejections") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w-ulsw8Slo) ---

One of the things I’ve found helps with this is when the yo yo comes around your throw hand, try to only give it enough force to get to the top of its arc, letting it ‘drop’ the rest of the way, this bit of a slow down helps with the rejection ---

I kept on landing on both also, what helped me get it almost 100% of the time is this. When you are in a trapeze keep your hands some what close. If you have them to far apart there is too much tension on the strings which causes the yoyo to stay close to your finger as you swing it around, and you end up on both strings.
