(Trick created by SAGE)

Okay: the mount…throw a breakaway and intercept the string with your right thumb, as if you were doing a trapeze around your thumb. As the yo-yo goes up and around your right hand, point your right middle finger and right index finger towards you. Using these two fingers, hook the string and drop it string off of your thumb. Straighten out your right hand. Now the yo-yo is falling and it will go around your left wrist. The string formation will look like a triangle or rectangle. Insert your right thumb into the formation. As the yo-yo swings toward your right hand, use your right thumb to pluck the string coming directly from the yo-yo. After that, drop the strings off of your right middle and index fingers. Good job. The yo-yo will travel around your right middle finger and land on the front/right string.

There is a triangle-ish string formation around your wrist. Pop the yo-yo up in the air and let it fall through the triangle onto the bottom/middle string. Drop everything off of your right hand. Now do the first underpass of Spirit Bomb. Pop the yo-yo up on outside and swing it around your left hand in a counterclockwise direction. Your left index finger will intercept the string. The yo-yo continues swinging around your right index finger and lands on the front/right string. Drop the strings off of your left index finger.

This paragraph covers the confusing 6-8 second mark from the video…swing the yo-yo around your left hand in a clockwise direction, but you will not intercept any strings. The yo-yo continues swinging around and all three string segments are intercepted by your right index finger. Keep the yo-yo swinging and drop the loop of string off your right index finger. The yo-yo will swing up in the air. Intercept the string coming directly from the yo-yo with your left index finger and land the yo-yo on the front/left string.

Pop the yo-yo up in the air and drop the front string off of each index finger. The back string of the string formation should be coming from under your wrist. Land the yo-yo on this string. Drop the string(s) off of your right index finger and then do the first underpass of Spirit Bomb. Pop the yo-yo up on the inside and land it on the top/back string. In doing this, you will probably end up with your right index finger pointing toward your body. Let’s look at the string going around your left wrist. Drop it off of your pinky, ring finger, and middle finger. So, the string is no longer on your wrist, just on your left index finger and thumb. Anyway, back to the string on your right index finger. Put it on your right thumb. Then put it back on your right index finger, but with your index finger pointing away from your body. Now you’re ready to do the dismount.

Dunk the yo-yo around your right index finger in a counterclockwise direction and let it fall through the big triangle ( you’ll understand this once you try it ). Let the yo-yo swing around your right index finger again, landing it on the front string. Drop the string off of your left index finger. Now drop the string off of your left thumb. You’ll have a trapeze knotted up around your right index finger. Dismount as desired.
