Any one where people whip the yoyo around their hand and then block the slack with their hand, usually then whipping. Are there any tutorials for this kind of trick? How do people keep the yoyo in-air so long?

Some examples are Guy Wright’s freestyle at 0:19-0:20

From the description, it sounds like Paul Han slack.
