When I first started throwing, I was pretty taken with the way the old timers did things. I still am, really. But the ease with which they busted out tricks that are incomprehensibly easy to us today is still a glorious thing. One of my all-time favorites was “Bank Deposit” but I had a generational disadvantage….I wear jeans. The old timers were always wearing khakis or chinos or suits, and their pockets were suited to this trick…mine would barely open when I jammed my hand into them. So in 1996 I came up with this version which works really nicely on a responsive looper, and lets you get away with just wearing a shirt that has a chest pocket.
Song is “Houdini Logic” by Circle Takes The Square.
Yo-yo used is the Loop 720 by YoYo Factory.

The Quarter Trick
3/8/11
It’s a long-standing staple of professional yo-yo performers to do a trick where you knock a quarter off someone’s ear with a yo-yo. But when you consider that there are probably less than a dozen actual professional yo-yo performers making the rounds, that makes it a pretty scarce routine. So for today’s trick I thought I’d give you my entire Quarter Trick routine from my recent show opening for Jonathan Richman.
Enjoy. 🙂
Yo-yo used is the Loop 900 by YoYo Factory. Intro and outro music is a snippet of “Egyptian Reggae” by Jonathan Richman.
