(Trick created by Tyler Boshears)

Start the mount as if you were going to throw a Double or Nothing…around your right index finger and around your left index finger. But instead of going around your right index finger again, the yo-yo will fly up in the air behind everything ( i.e. between your body and the strings ). Land it on the string coming directly from your yo-yo finger, which will be the bottom string. The resulting hold should look like the White Buddha mount, only with some twisted strings. Dunk the yo-yo around your right index finger in a counterclockwise direction. It will land on the front/bottom string. Drop everything off of your right hand and insert your left wrist where your left index finger is ( i.e. slide that string onto your wrist ). Now do the first underpass of Spirit Bomb. From here, you are going to do a magic drop…just like in Superman ( if you don’t know how to do this, look at Sector Y’s illustrations of Superman ). After the magic drop, pop the yo-yo up and around your left hand in a counterclockwise direction. Keep it swinging, all the way around your right index finger, intercepting the string with that finger, and landing on the front string segment that you just created. If your left wrist is not in the formation, correct that now ( put your wrist wherever your left index finger is ). Now slide the yo-yo all the way around your left index finger as if you were doing a 1 ½ mount. Good job.

You are going to swing the yo-yo around in a big circle, in a clockwise direction. At the same time, drop everything off of your right hand. Now, there is a string coming from under your wrist and going to the yo-yo. Take that string with your right index finger and do an underpass. Then perform a roll into a Double or Nothing ( only it won’t be a real Double or Nothing, cuz you have that mess on your wrist ). Unwind to a "trapeze." Next, you are going to do an Undertaker-style pop-up, which is the hardest part of the trick, IMO.

Pop the yo-yo up in the air ( and drop the string off your right hand ). Use your right index finger to pull out the string that is coming from under your left wrist. The yo-yo will fall outside ( i.e. in front ) of everything and land on the bottom string. Do the Spirit Bomb dismount so that you’re in a trapeze. Transfer the trapeze loop from your right index finger onto your right thumb.

Slide the yo-yo off of the trapeze and around your left hand in a counterclockwise direction. Keep swinging it, landing a houdini drop hold ( Kamikaze mount ). Do the first hop from Kamikaze so that you’re in a sidestyle Mach 5. Swing the yo-yo around your left hand in a counterclockwise direction, just as you would for Kamikaze, but don’t roll into a Double or Nothing. Instead, you are going to do a pop-up. Pop the yo-yo into the air and intercept the string with your right index finger; landing a Double or Nothing. Drop the back string off of your right index finger and pluck it/hold it in place with your right thumb. Now do the first underpass of Cold Fusion. Your arms should be crossed. Mmmk, this next part of the trick is very difficult to explain. You should have a triangle-ish formation with one string running down the middle. You are going to sorta "pluck" this middle string with your left index finger. There is already a string on your left index, and as you do the pluck, this string will fall off…also, you need to drop the string off of your ( right ) thumb. Your arms are still crossed. The string formation will no longer look like a triangle, but it should look like a heart. Swing the yo-yo around your left index finger in a clockwise direction and, at the same time, uncross your hands. Land it on whatever string is there. You’ll be in this position that vaguely resembles the Mach 5-ish thing from the end of Rancid Milk.

Anyway, just pop the yo-yo up in the air and let it fall in front of everything. Drop the strings off of your left index finger. Twist your right index finger and you’ll be in a trapeze. Congrats.
