For trying to land it on the back string, it needs to land on the string attached to your throwhand finger. If you want to see what it looks like, start from a trapeze and pop the yoyo up. Undercut the yoyo as if to land in trapeze and bro, but land on the back string. Besides the wrap around your throwhand, this is what a magic drop is.
