He is doing Eli hops that are so fast and close to his hand that it looks like the Yo-Yo is bouncing of his finger. But yeah, they are fast, short Eli hops.

He does a sommersault (sideways brain twister?) and then does like the others have said: fast eli hops and he drops the angle while doing so. Descending eli hops or not, I don’t know.
