This picture trick is called the Eiffel Tower and just like any other picture trick it’s easier to learn if you let the yo-yo hang down at the bottom of the string without spinning.
For this one you’re gonna take your opposite hand and pull it right into the string and use your yo-yo hand to just lay it right over the top. Next, take your thumb on your yo-yo hand and just lift the string up. Next, take your opposite hand, you’re gonna twist it back towards yourself and that will cross the strings just like that… and take your first finger and grab the string. And next your gonna pull that sting right through that little loop that you made and your gonna let all the rest of the string fall off your opposite hand. So now the string is only on your first finger of your opposite hand and the thumb of your yo-yo hand and of course on your yo-yo finger.
So the last step is to take your yo-yo finger and your ring finger on your yo-yo hand and twist forward and your gonna pinch the string between those two fingers. As you can see you can shape it a little bit.
That make the Eiffel Tower. Once you get used to it you can do it at full speed and it looks like this.
The Originator, with its clutch return system, is the perfect Peter Fish yo-yo for beginners. The Originator comes back automatically before the spin dies out to help beginning yo-yo players learn the basics of the yo-yo craft.
