Yesterday my sister picked up a peterfish luminator, [http://yotricks.com/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product\_images/thumbnails/Yo\_3\_luminator-2.jpg](http://yotricks.com/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/thumbnails/Yo_3_luminator-2.jpg) Yeah, that piece of crap. She taught me a trick on how to remove the caps. 1. Place your hand in a position to throw a forward pass. 2. Stand in front of a wall 3. Throw a forward pass into a wall (don’t get hit by the ricochet now!) 4. Watch as the caps on your $3 dollar yoyo fly out WARNING: Do NOT try this with your expensive yoyo’s, AKA, anything more then $10, as im pretty sure you’ll break the yoyo, however, the peterfish is just fine, wait, lemme check… ---

I squeezed the two sides of a duncan butterfly together as hard as I could to pop it’s caps out. I wanted to use it for thumb grinds… didn’t even come close to working, but now I have a butterfly without caps. ---

heres another way, take a sledge hammer (a 10 pounder should do) and bring down the rath of thor upon you yoyo. Of course, you wont have the yoyo, but the capes will be off. ---
