That was one of the first long tricks I learned. After that, try learning Boo’s Castle and Save the Princess. The ultimate challenge is doing all three in a row!

Today, I made my own trick (hopefully no one has done it before). I call it, Yuuki Slack to Hook Repeater AKA Yuuki Hack Repeater. (Slack plus hook = Hack)

Nagio hops for me. I can get the first half all the way to the slack over the TH wrist. Stuck there.

I should at least LEARN Boingy Boing but the way it looks when someone does it really irritates me. It just seems really obnoxious. Just my personal taste. When someone does it more than once in a combo - like keeps coming back to it I just stop watching.

It’s a good trick to learn. It’s pretty fun once you get the rhythm down and non yo-yoers are always impressed with boingy boing.

Yeah, I see Boing-e-Boing as a really valuable trick for training your feel for fast momentum changes and fast cyclic rhythms. Even if you don’t like the look of it (which I do understand), I feel that mastering it is a worthwhile endeavor anyway. Keep it in your practice regimen but leave it out of your performances if it bugs you that much.

So is Magic Drop a trick or a trick element? What is the difference between a trick, a trick element, and a combo?

I know this doesn’t sound true, but I got boingy-boing down first try.

A trick can mean both a single element, and a combination (combo) of elements. All three terms are related and somewhat interchangeable, but they can also be mutually exclusive terms.
For example, magic drop is a trick, but the actual rejection in magic drop is an element.
A better example might be a trapeze suicide. That is a trick, but the element, or concept of the suicide can be extracted and used in other ways, like in brother slack; brother slack is is a trick that utilizes a suicide element from a brother mount. So a suicide is both a trick, and an element.
An element is a piece or concept of a trick that can be extracted and used in other ways. it is a part of a trick that can be tweaked a little to achieve a different outcome.
A combo is a string of tricks and/or elements, that is usually longer than just a simple trick. For example, one of my favorite combos is a magic drop (landed on the front string) to brother slack to ninja vanish (The variant from a brother mount). Now, that is a very short combo.
In competitions, a freestyle is a really long form of a combo. Professionals can pack a tremendous amount of tech into one throw.
And tech, from what I understand is a technical trick that incorporates several elements. Like the trick Superman is a tech trick. And this tutorial for Yuuki concepts is a tech trick. It’s more than just stringing known tricks together like in a combo, it is a new creation of several elements. Also, Superman utilizes a magic drop element, that is not a traditional magic drop, but it is the same concept, or element.
There’s a lot of gray area between these terms, so as you’re learning new tricks, you can start to see little windows where tricks can be blended together and turned into different tricks. This is how tricks, elements and combos are related. It’s kind of hard to understand, but with time and exposure it’ll start to make sense
