The Washing Machine with a yo-yo

Step 3 The Spin Cycle and popping out the yo-yo

To make the string a little wider, I spin the yo-yo a few times around my finger in the loop. The pumping motion is all done by the yo-yo hand and the freehand stays pretty still. This is not a necessary step, but it looks cool and makes the loop easier to work with.

To pop the yo-yo out of the loop, swing the yo-yo away from your body and up into the air. Catch the yo-yo back on the string (it should no be outside of the loop).
