I learned Revolutions before most of those tricks. You just have to make the yoyo move fast and very very smooth. ---

If that doesn’t work, I always do revolutions from a split bottom mount. It’s easier and still has the same effect. Though be warned that the yo-yo might go off the string. Try both ways and see which one is right for you. Maybe try revs from the Trapeze and his bro. ---

Make sure that you start swinging right when you hit the string, move in one fluid motion, and don’t move your hand to much. If you swing it around to much it gets caught on the string so make small motions. ---

If you swing it around to much it gets caught on the string so make small motions. Actually, not really necessary, but the rest of what you said is good advice. :wink:
