That’s funny! I have seen that banner a thousand times and wonder what is was. It’s funny because as many times as I have visited @YoYoExpert and @YoYoExpertGarrett, I have never thought to ask.

By figuring out the player, we can figure the trick, is it @YoYoExpertGarrett or @AndreBoulay or someone else?

I believe this trick is called, “Ladder Escape.” If I’m not mistaken, that’s part 2 of the trick. Here’s a link to a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDOF1W9SwyI

Here’s another tutorial of the same trick:

Skip to 3 minutes and 23 seconds into the video. You will notice that by adjusting the throwers hands a bit (every thrower’s hands will look slightly different while performing such tricks) you’ll get the same string formation as the one in the picture above.

^That’s not the same formation.

Okay, after wasting all that time writing the differences in the formations (which can be found at the bottom of this post), I watched the tutorial to see if that formation happened anywhere else. I found it! I came back, and noticed the above sentence. Doh… I had paused the video at 3:23!

The only difference is the twist on the thumb, and the TH middle finger being pulled back, but I think @Drakkar must have it.

Disregard the rest, but I couldn’t bring myself to erase it…

  • In the 1st pic there is a single loop going around the NTH middle finger creating a singe quadrangle on that side. There are two loops there in the 2nd pic, and a triangle within a triangle.

  • The loop around the NTH thumb is not twisted in the 1st pic, like it is in the 2nd.

  • The top segment of the quadrangle around the NTH middle finger in the 1st pic, is looped over just the bottom segment of the loop over the NTH thumb. The top segment of the bigger triangle around the NTH middle in the 2nd pic, feeds over a twist that is forming the smaller triangle around the NTH middle finger.

  • If the TH middle finger was extended out in the 2nd pic, I think the TH side would match.
