Cataclysm – Spencer Berry
3/20/13
“Cataclysm is another legacy trick from 2001. I created it after Enigma and before Havoc. They make up the destruction trilogy. It would’ve been a longer series but I remember Jordan Cooper made Annihilation before I finished my own, so I started using other names.
I had to relearn the last half of the trick – the 1.5 pop with the pulley grab is challenging but doesn’t look all that special. It was a huge part of the trick’s concept, mirroring the initial mount.
The mount has become one of my favorites and I use constantly. Same with the magic drop to 2-or-0, which took the form of a repeater initially (chasmastic combo two)” – Spencer

Kwhatjibo – Spencer Berry
3/13/13
“Kwhatjibo feels like kwyjibo but is easily repeated. I was borderline obsessed with this 1.5 to bro transition for a long time because of the many ways it can be stylized (anyone sense a theme?). This repeater is easy to do and centers around that transition.” – Spencer

Havoc – Spencer Berry
“This is another legacy trick from 2001. It debuted on my first website, Phalanx, in a video called Primus (youtube.com/watch?v=jGZogyD371Q).
It originally was going to be a collaboration trick between myself and Rob Reeves, but after the mount and that first hop, we went our own ways. It is one of the destruction tricks, alongside Cataclysm and Enigma.” – Spencer

YuukYuuk – Spencer Berry
2/20/13
“I’ve done the 1.5 pop to effortless whip component of this trick for many years. Usually when I show it to a yoyo player, they know it as a Yuuki Spencer trick. It looks slightly puzzling if performed with minimal hand movement.
So I added a gunslinger type move and repeated it. And as per most of my basic hold repeaters – there is a lot of room to tweak it out in your own manner (pinwheel one spot, pop in another, alternate sides, whatever kind of hand movements you want to center it around). This is a feel good trick and not as difficult as some of the variations I’ll be practicing for later in the year.” – Spencer

Rogue – Spencer Berry
2/13/13
“Rogue was a quick fire sequel that came right after Wonder Woman in 2001. It has a similar style and pace.
The most notable component is probably the Magic Drop to Spirit Bomb move, which I was quite proud to discover. When I took this trick to the Spindox club, Paul Escolar showed me Yellow Airplanes, which was brand new at the time. Yellow Airplanes has the same Magic Drop in it.
This coincidence stifled my desire to record this trick and I moved onto to other tricks. Somehow, I have remember this trick for all those years, and now it shall see the light of day.” – Spencer

Wonder Woman – Spencer Berry
365yoyotricks.com – Wonder Woman from Steve Brown on Vimeo.
2/6/13
“This is a trick of mine from 2001, created as a reaction to Jason Lee’s Superman. Wrist mounts were all the rage and the central hold for this trick is a type of upside down variation of the wrist mount. I have many tricks from this era that conclude with a complex hold popping to trapeze, such as rancid milk+family, the destruction series, and others. This is definitely one of my easier 2001-era tricks and one of the few I can hit with some consistency.” -Spencer

White Buddha Forever – Spencer Berry
1/30/12
“White Buddha was created in 2000 (99?) by Paul Escolar of the Spin Doctors. If you don’t know the original White Buddha, learn it. Now.
White Buddha is a milestone in the evolution of modern string tricks. It has theme, flow and a flashy conclusion. White Buddha Forever is the repeater that I stuffed into the middle of Paul Escolar’s masterpiece. Love & Respect.” – Spencer
