One Handed Star

One Handed Star is a picture trick where the string creates the shape of a star using only one hand. You can practice it without a Sleeper at first – just with the yoyo hanging on the string. The movement is not very fast, but in the beginning you might not have enough spin time to finish the whole shape.

How to do One Handed Star

Start by creating the first part with your thumb, then catch the string with your ring finger, continue under your middle finger and index finger, wrap the string around your pinky, and finally bring it back to your middle finger.

Tips for practice

The most important part is getting the shape and string position right. Take your time and adjust the string until the star looks even. It takes some practice, but once you understand the movement, this picture trick becomes much easier.
