Party tricks. Drunk adults love it!  
It is just a fun thing to pull out, and impress people with. Ever heard of party tricks?  
Some people do card tricks, some beverage chugging, some do quarter flipping… I do yoyo tricks!

That’s not true. I also get a lot of “do you know that triangle trick?”. “Why yes, I know a lot of triangle tricks… do you mean this one?” _shows rock the cradle_ “Yeah! That’s the one!”

People just don’t unresponsive yoyos or string tricks. I think that’s one of that things that keeps me yoyoing. I love being able to show people things they have never seen before.

I have yet to see someone actually able to walk the dog properly (there’s a vid of an old man online, who does it perfectly, I’ve been trying since I’ve seen the video to do it just as well, it’s been a few months, not there yet)

or maybe, if the trick is complex and you just learned it, you just don’t do it impressively, there’s a huge gap between knowing how to do a trick and doing it properly and smoothly

Was it Tom Smothers perhaps? His repertoire might be weak by today’s standards, but boy was he good at the tricks he knew. And of course, he’s a performer first.
