So in Paul Kerbel’s worlds performance he does a trick from around second 6 to second 15 and I am just obsessing over it, but I can not figure out how to do it. Please I need some help or some guidance, all I want to do is learn this trick. If someone could make a tutorial or explain what is happening it would be much appreciated. Here is a link to the video. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vbvXj3ndbA4?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=UUog4KhQFqCkRhLKweVZ9ClQ ---

You know how to get into the mount at 6 seconds? It’s just the yuuki spencer chopsticks thingy mount. You hop out the back, bring the yoyo over the top of the front of the formation, and land on the bottom string. ---

Oh, sorry, I just realized I’m thinking of the wrong mount. I can’t really think how to explain it. The slack is the string coming from your finger is pinched with the rest of your hand (like a jade whip), and you trapeze over the whip. That might give you some idea of what to do ---

I finally landed it, I found that once I get into the first mount I pinch the part where the jade whip and trapeze intersect with my throwhand thumb and index finger to keep that part from closing up when I do the first hop. ---

Can someone help me please. I have the mount down but I keep messing up on the flip into the trick. It keeps slipping off the string. ---
