This move was invented by Steve Brown and is really impressive when done smoothly.

Step 1

Start out this trick in the Man On The Flying Trapeze mount position. To learn most of the mounts used on this site go to Ken's World On A String.

Step 2

Move your left hand above your right and bring your right hand down.

Step 3

Let the yo-yo fall gently onto your right thumb.

Step 4

Bring your left hand back down to your side.

Step 5

The yo-yo will now spin freely on your thumb. It is kind of hard to get the yo-yo in the right spot so that it won't fall off. Keep trying and you'll get it.
