Rock The Baby with a Yo-yo

Rock The Baby with a Yo-yo
Rock the Baby is probably one of the most well known yo-yo tricks in the world.

There are many different ways to get to a similar position, but the steps described in this instructable are usually considered to be the definitive steps to doing the trick.

I highly suggest learning the steps to this trick with a dead (non-spinning) yo-yo.

The main reason I published this trick was to demonstrate that instructables could be more than just a too to share "what you make". Thanks Shan for help with the photos.

Step 1The first hand position

the first hand position
Start with a sleeper.

While the yo-yo is spinning, place your non-yo-yo hand halfway down the string.

Keep your palm facing towards your body with the string between your body and your hand.
