This trick is called Man on the Flying Trapeze and his Brother. Kind of a mouthful, but here
it is. The trick is basically just a series of mounts just like you've seen. So, you want
to start off with your side-mount. You are going to pop it off and let it wrap around
the middle finger of your opposite hand, and then you are going to catch it after it wraps
around the first finger on your yoyo hand. Then you are just going to swing it back and
catch it in your basic side-mount. That's pretty much the whole trick.
There is one variation that I would like to show you on this video. When you hop it off
the string, instead of catching in on your middle finger what you want to do is just
kind of pinch the string. After you catch it on the string you can point that first
finger forward again. What that will allow you to do is to pop the yoyo up and do a little
hop and to get it right back onto your Trapeze that way. And it looks pretty smooth when
you do it well. Just like that. Those are just two variations on Man on the
Flying Trapeze and His Brother.
