Just a little something to irritate the hell out of you. 😉

Kickup
3/24/11
When a juggler drops a club, there’s a trick called a “kickup”. They roll the handle up onto their ankle, and then kick the club back up in the air.
Yo-yos have to be wound up, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still kick ’em up to your hand.

Lemon Drop
3/23/11
Some days I look at the clock and think “Oh man, I gotta film a trick today. I think I want to make a new one”. And then I get up and play until I’ve come up with something new. Then I go outside and film it.
That’s how I end up with weird and stupidly hard things like this trick. It took me 3 tries to hit it, then I got out the camera and it took me ten minutes.
Never underestimate how much harder something can be made by cold and wind.

Shoulder Pull

I like tricks that you can repeat forever until the yo-yo just stops spinning.

Machiavelli Transition

Sometimes I make up tricks that are so hard that by the time I’m supposed to film them, I hate them already. This was one of those tricks. It’s stupidly difficult but it feels so smooth to perform…when you can actually hit it, anyway.

Prosperity

Just something I came up with today while I was fiddling around after realizing “Oh crap, I haven’t filmed a trick yet today, I better make one up!”

Cigar Boxes
3/19/11
Remember the trick “Flim Flam” from Jan. 27th? Yeah, you can turn it into a repeater that is obnoxiously hard but kinda ends up looking like cigar box juggling.

I can’t remember what contest it was…might have been the 2004 World Championships. But I made up this trick and showed it to my buddy Felix Avellana. He was suitably impressed.
About 20 minutes later I saw him get up on stage and land it, perfectly, in his freestyle routine. I immediately reflected on the full week of tweaking it took for me to hit the trick with any consistency. Then it was my turn to be suitably impressed.
So, in honor of Felix’s reminder that no matter how good you are there is always someone waiting to whoop you, I’ve named this trick after him.
Song is “Reclamation” by Fugazi. They appear courtesy of Dischord Records. This, for the record, is my absolute favorite Fugazi song of all time and is also on my favorite album of theirs, “Steady Diet of Nothing”. Pick up a copy from your local indie record store or iTunes.
