This Alan Grimberg trick is fun: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/a/e/daed8329ef22ed00b7c3b4b9650ef3e1e2877369.jpeg "Alan Grimberg - Mexican Duck Pond") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1ATrUhSJro) ---

The gondola is a good one. It involves some slack and ends in a red triangle. Plus it’s not that difficult. ---

There’s one of my personal favorites, it’s pretty complicated, but soooo worth it. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/8/5/d852961660acd4748d9140504f22bbc6a4cede48.jpeg "Petr Kavka - Candy Slack - SLUSNY Yoyo Tutorials") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1q5HDS_Plc) I also came up with one myself, I call it “Houdini’s Triangle”, I don’t have a tutorial yet, but I’ll do a not so in depth description. 1. Houdini Mount 2. First part of Candy Slack  (0:19 to 0:24 in the Candy Slack video) 3. Swing the yoyo towards you under the two strings, and then in one motion pop it back over and onto the front string. 4. Drop the string on your NTH index finger. 5. Take your NTH index finger and put it where your NTH thumb is. 6. Drop the string on your TH. 7. You should have a pseudo GT now! Just like the one in Gondola.
