Elevator

The elevator is a simple trick at first glance, but many yoyoers have already worked up a sweat doing it. Start with a sleeper and fold the string over your left finger towards you, place the yoyo on the string and ride it up like an elevator. When you are on the top floor, throw the yoyo up a little with your left hand and let go of the string from your left hand, the yoyo will return on its own. Catching is the hardest part of the elevator, but we have a few tips for that:

1) Don't throw the yoyo with all your strength, if it doesn't spin as fast, it will return slower and it will be easier to catch.

2) As soon as you are about to throw it, prepare your right hand with your palm up and wait for the yoyo to return to it, then all you have to do is close your palm in time.
