Ecstatic Peace

Really enjoying playing with this XXXXXXX by XXXXXXXXXXX that Ben McPhee gave me at BAC, although it never lasts long. Too heavy for my weak wrists. Plays great, though.

I like incorporating strange and slightly uncomfortable body moves into tricks. This is one of those.

Some people get really super excited about moebius tricks.
Other people just do them once in a while.

Gambit
5/19/11
Every time I pick up a yo-yo with a counterweight attached, a little devil pops up on my shoulder. He looks like Jay Gilligan. He pokes me in the side of my face with a tiny pitchfork and says “Make it more like juggling.”

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.
