ok the problem is you are making the yoyo travel above the string, and i recommend keeping the pinch the entire time no matter what happens. try moving your non throw hand in a small circle but don’t let the yoyo travel above the string. and if the yoyo travels above keep it in front and not have it come towards you. ---

I’m doing what you are saying, but I still can’t get the loop in there, I just keep landing a trapeze. ---

> [@PCaliyoyos](#): > > ok the problem is you are making the yoyo travel above the string, @100FatYoyoDads I believe Peyton has nailed the issue, you don’t need to pop the yoyo as high as you are, the yoyo really doesn’t need to go over the string coming from your throw hand. Also, with neutral string tension, when you move your nth the loop should form. When I start, the palm of my nth is facing the ceiling, when the yoyo land on the string my nth palm is facing away from my body, thumb toward the floor. The motion is almost like an exaggerated twisting the wrist to look at your watch. ---

I honestly have no idea what’s happening, but I’m still failing miserably. I’m going to keep practicing and see if I can do it. ---

I think what’s happening is that when you whip the yoyo the pinch isn’t holding which is making it so the slack is really tiny. When you start keep the pinch the whole time and hold your hand a little bit farther apart. Also try to swing the yoyo instead of popping it like I was saying ---

Here’s a looping image of ninja vanish to look at. [Two other angles here](https://imgur.com/gallery/HPlz78W) I pop the yoyo up to be JUST under my NTH, which also stays at or above the yoyo the entire time. It looks like you’re swooping your NTH under the yoyo to try to catch it, which is why you’re landing on a trapeze. ---

Sounds kind of dumb but I learned ninja vanish and a few other slack/laceration tricks by taping my yoyo to a wall so that I can just figure out practice and understand the string motion ---

It’s actually a good idea. I’ve heard of someone putting a string on a doorknob and doing it that way. ---

This is where the B-grade (or even A grade) 9 Dragons would shine - a buddy can hold the spinning yoyo while you figure out the string movements ---
