Robin Hood

Robin Hood is a picture trick that looks very impressive while keeping the movement relatively simple. It is a great trick to show others because the final shape looks much more complicated than it actually is.

How to do Robin Hood

Start with a Sleeper and rotate your right hand so your thumb points to the left and your index finger points upwards. With your left hand, pull the string between your thumb and index finger, just like you are drawing a bow. Once you aim, release your left hand and the yoyo will return back to your hand.

Tip for practice

The most important part is getting the hand position and string tension right. Don’t rush the movement – focus on creating a clean shape first. Once you get comfortable with the setup, the trick becomes much easier and smoother.
