Gonna do this all evening 😁. Copied to muscle memory. Not too hard to learn with a very satisfying end. Thanks for sharing.  
I would have called it DocPewPew 😄

I’m so glad you learned it! I think the big move at the end is cool, but I really like the two slack elements that are used to set the trick up.

The second one where you catch it with the thumb gave me a problem at the beginning. I always catches it and had a twist in the last loop (the one u shot). But after adjust my swing a bit I could catch it from the other side and twist was gone.  
I attached a nylon string just for this trick which makes the last part even more fun.

I feel like a kid eating an entire box of cereal just to get to the gun whip prize at the end. I haven’t landed this one yet but I’m gunning for it. 😁
