I can't believe you want to know how to do a Star on a Yo-Yo! If you do master it, you will instantly be the coolest kid in the schoolyard (or retirement village).
I learnt to do this when I was 10 or 11 years old and for some stupid reason I haven't forgotten almost 30 years later! So read on as you learn the secrets to one of the hardest manouvres in the Yo-Yo world.
| Step 1: Make sure you are wearing appropriate safety gear. This can go horribly wrong if you're not careful |  |
| Step 2: Choose your weapon. If this had've been 25 years ago I would have had a selection of Coke, Fanta and whatever else was laying around. As it's 2005 all I could find was this crap-ola freebie give-away piece of junk |  |
| Step 3: Hey! I'm lookin' at you. Pay attention! Notice I have the string attached to the middle finger of my right hand. That is the CORRECT finger to attach a Yo-Yo to. If you put it on your index finger you're a dork and people will straight away know that you're not serious about your Yo-Yo. Roll the Yo-Yo out and get the sucker spinning. Grab the string with inside of your left thumb... |  |
| Step 4: You then grab it with the third finger on your right hand |  |
| Step 5: You then scoop your left hand down and pick up the string with the index finger of your left hand |  |
| Step 6: Come around from behind the string and pick it up with the back of your right thumb (the hairy bit) |  |
| Step 7: The last step is to flip the 'Star' upside down and using the same finger that the string is attached to pick up the final point of the star |  |
| Step 8: ...and Hey Presto! You have yourself one bithcin' star made out of string... with a Yo-Yo hanging off it |  |
