I appreciate people putting their work out there, honestly, just so frustrating to be getting something wrong and it’s not clear from the tutorial as it’s something not mentioned.
At 2:20ish the main action being performed is the handslide from 1:47. No hands are switching, you could do everything with your hands apart but bringing your NTH closer to your TH makes it easier to slide your TH out, dropping the loop to complete the wrist mount. If you go into a regular WM, grab the topmost string closest to you and pull it up and way from you it’s the same proper position to chopstick from after sliding your TH out.
Hope that’s a bit clearer. That part also confused me at first, I kept fudging the string arrangement after sliding the loop but realizing what the formation was helped.
I definitely forgot to mention the nth movement there, which changes to have a good grip to the next move, but if you go to 5:05 you can see that changing the nth position is not vital for the chopstick, as I change it to have a better grip only after landing the chopsticks in that case.
Sorry about that, it is so hard to describe every little movement that your hands make out of muscle memory while shooting tutorials. I added the slowmo fpv at the end to clarify any little bit I may have missed, start at 5:00 and watch it at 0.25 speed if that helps.
@MEJBelloz one tip I have for the chopstick is to go for thumb-pinky and really pull your wrist back/upwards when forming the mount, otherwise the string has a tendency to slide flat against the palm…hope that makes sense
I’ve never been so close, yet so far with a trick. I can do the whole trick… But the chopstick I’m landing 1 in 50, and no matter what I do I can’t get the consistency up! Ugh!
EDIT: And in one small swoop of moaning, suddenly I’ve sussed a little bit more consistency with the chopstick!
