This one really is easier than it looks! And if you haven’t done these kinds of tension tricks before this is a great one to start with. ---

Agreed. Honestly, I can’t really wrap my head around this one yet. Instead I am taking this week to practice Weeks 24 (Perpetuum) and 25 (Toya Kobayashi Triangle Trick). ---

I had a great beef hook session last night. Finally feel like I got the trick down. Took about 10 days and averaged probably 2 hours a day of practicing. I’ve hardly done any other tricks in all those hours ha. Thanks again for your help and Henry’s. ---

**Week 28 - Wax on, wax off** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/3/0/93087ed8a09fbfa0d5e3a847f92e2f950afee426.jpeg "Learn the 1A Yoyo Trick Wax On, Wax Off") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOHW6UCdxug) This week’s trick is a great foundational chopsticks element that’s worth really getting down. There are a lot of tips to help improve chopsticks tricks, my top 2 are: 1. Form a C rather than an L with your non throw hand. It creates more space. 2. Focus on keeping the string formation tight. > **More advanced variation** > > This variation from Akiba Hirotaka is slightly more advanced, but also the tutorial is in Japanese. > > [https://youtu.be/tqni8GqLyvo?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/tqni8GqLyvo?feature=shared) ---

I was working on this yesterday, I’m getting there. This is actually the first chopsticks combo I ever learned. The part at the end is kinda tricky cause the string slides down my nonthrow hand middle finger by the time I get to that part. I noticed in the video it seems like he keeps it in place by bending his finger but I haven’t got that down solid yet. I’ll post a video today or tomorrow. ---
