My yo-yo knowledge and skill is very limited as it is now. I only know very few tricks and pull the harder ones very rarely. My audience are my brothers and my friends. None of them throw at all. However, they find a smoothly or very quickly done one handed star picture trick to be impressive. They usually love picture tricks. They go crazy over “split the atom” and “brain twister.” However, I get no reaction from doing a nice kamikaze mount. I’m hoping to get their jaws to drop once I start learning actual tricks instead of mounts and positions. Oh yeah, suicides always make my audience go “WOW!”…even the ones I miss to catch lmfao. ---

I got a really big reaction in a talent show once by pulling a backup yoyo out of my pocket after knotting up my first one. ---

Shame on me! All of the tricks listed, impressed me at one time, at least enough to learn them. I shouldn’t be so easily impressed but then I would be like…and I’d rather be like impressed. :wink: Of course, you would never be impressed by such skills and that’s why…Wait you must have been impressed as well! :o So much for this conversation. ;D [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/tricks-that-impress-but-shouldnt/67216.md?page=1)
