This is a flashy adjustment trick. Throw a spinner at a 45 degree angle diagonally across your body.
While the yo-yo is on its side, catch the string above the yo-yo with the other hand, lift to yo-yo to a level above the yo-yo hand, and release.
The yo-yo will wind back to your hand.
Note: Throw the yo-yo to the left to loosen and the right to tighten the string.
Break Away
Make a muscle with the yo-yo on your shoulder. Throw a spinner out to that side.
Swing the yo-yo so that it rotates in front of you from shoulder to shoulder.
When it reaches your other shoulder, give the yo-yo a quick tug and bring it back to your hand.
Man on the Trapeze
Hold the opposite hand waist-high with the index finger pointed forward. Make a muscle with the yo-yo on your shoulder.
Throw a spinner to that side and swing the yo-yo across your body and over your extended finger so that the yo-yo hits the string about 1-2 yo-yo lengths from your finger.
To return the yo-yo to your hand, pull the extended finger out of the string.
Thumb Wind
Use your free hand to hold the unwound yo-yo with the thumb in the string groove with the string bent around the end of your thumb. The yo-yo hand should be held above and slightly behind the yo-yo.
By pulling upwards with the string at the same time as letting the yo-yo roll off the end of your thumb, enough spin is generated to start the yo-yo up the string. Once started, you can "yo-yo" it up and down until it reaches your hand.
The yo-yo will wind back to your hand.
