I posed this question on YouTube, but figured it would make since to bring the discussion over here.
I would have “never” expected the classic trick UFO would get dusted off and re-introduced to the world at large as DNA. Also yes, I did “not” expect anyone to elevate it as far as @bellafreestylin took it (jeepers…)
What do you think will be the next “it” trick that entertains folks in the same manor? Mind you it’s been a lloonnggg time since a trick has knocked off Walk the Dog from the public pedestal, so I’m sure it will be a while before any trick blows up again. But all the same, I am certainly curious… What’s your vote for the next “it” trick?
I think slack in general has potential, but most people who do Yuuki slack make it look easy. And that’s probably because it truly is pretty easy. So it doesn’t wow people as much. It looks understandable.
Walk the Dog and UFO (DNA) look impractical for what toys can generally do.
I’m thinking if more people were exposed to x divisions their minds would be blown. 3A tricks like Koro Koro have the potential to grab people’s attention. 5A has a lot of cool looking tricks like butterflies, tanglers, e-fans, etc. 4A and soloham are also very visual and flashy.
Mach 5 does well in public but theres not much variation in how folks have messed with it yet. I think it needs to be explored more as an element to see if there’s any compelling way to jazz it up.
I still get asked for walk the dog the most. Then rock the baby, then DNA in order of requests.
Since I’m always whipping cheap 2a throws, I’ll walk the dog until the cows come home!!
