When your finger hits the string to make the yoyo go over. Try to keep it close to the yoyo. It should be easier to hit. ---

Ahhhh trapeze. How I remember wanting to hit this trick. The first time was on a Duncan Imperial lol. ideas: 1. Throw a nice straight break away. 2. Place the string between the index and middle finger of your non throw hand just allowing the yo to hang off of the middle finger. With your throwhand pull the string acrossed your body causing the yo to move upwards, towards you non throw hand index. As it approaches your index finger just flip it over and land it on the string. Don’t worry about landing it 1/2 way between you hands, in the middle, land it closest to you non throw hand index. 3. Now you should be able to throw that break away and do all the steps smoothly. 4. As you get better you will be able to hit the string wherever and whenever you want. Good luck ---

Of course you can talk to me about yoyoing! That’s why we are all here. You could definitely grow with the dark magic 2. It is capable of so much, as are any of those yoyo’s listed. I’m glad the trapeze is starting to come together for you. If you keep practicing on the narrow gap yoyo you have, when your get you Dark Magic 2, it will be so easy. ---

best way to do it is glide your finger onto the dtring and it will guide it to the string. ---

I’m glad you can finally do it better! Wow, I remember my first trapeze…just practice your breakaway and get it as straight as possible, and swing the yo-yo more. Trapeze is an important fundamental to most tricks, so just make sure you can do it really well before you move on :wink: ---

ill walk you through it… all you have to to is throw a breakaway, then move your non throw hand into the string (like you see all the time), NOW a few of the bigger things that you have to remember is not to move your throw hand left or right, AND you need to place you finger on the string right next to the yo yo… if you PM me i will be uploading a lot of vids to youtube on how to do basic tricks… and i will walk you through it… just remember dont give up… especially with yo yos practice makes perfect
