I just got a Starlite, and I must say I love playing in the dark with this thing, but I realized one problem. The tricks I know manipulate the string more than the yoyo, like slacks, whips, and picture tricks, and you can’t see my string. What are you guys’ favorite tricks that throw around the yoyo more?

It’s funny you mention that today’s tricks revolve more around the string than movement of the yoyo itself- I remember watching a yoyo documentary a few months ago where Mark Mcbride was being interviewed. He said that he was talking with the first(?) national(or world?) yoyo champion, and said something along the lines of “Yoyoing has come a long way dont you think?” The champion replied “In my day, we played with the yoyo, not the string!”

A UV light bulb will make any neon coloured string (as well as the Starlite) glow amazingly.

You can also use the blue from a TV with no channel to achieve the same effect.

Walk the dog can manipulate the look of your yoyo.
4A is basically a style that’s mostly on the yoyo and not much on the string…
