Machine Gun

Machine Gun is a picture trick that looks very dynamic, even though it is not technically complicated. The key to this trick is a strong Sleeper and good control of the string with both hands.

How to do Machine Gun

Start with a good Sleeper. Grab the string with your left hand and then catch it a few centimeters lower with your right hand. Hold your hands horizontally in front of you and start shaking the yoyo and strings like you are firing a machine gun – exactly like Peťan shows in the video.

Tip for practice

Focus on keeping the string tension and controlling the movement. Don’t try to make it fast right away – first learn the correct motion and make sure the shape stays consistent. Once you get the feeling, you can gradually speed it up and make the trick look even better.
