Yeah that’s why when the yo-yo would go to the side it would flal down. It is an air compresser. I would love to try it myself! ~Steven ---

You can do it with a ping-pong ball and a hair dryer. For the 888s, you need a really strong air blower or something, something that blows with alot of force, more than 70 grams of force. But yeah. you can do it with an 888. But first, get a strong air blower. Not sure where though.
