Learn the "Magic Drop" Yoyo trick - YoYoExpert Tutorials

[@jamesmeyrat9970]

This one was maddening. But the secret to the trick is revealed in the name itself, magic drop. It's all about the "drop" the yoyo makes on the string to get the rejection. Newtonian physics at work here. Let the force of gravity do the rejection for you. Best chance to do that is get a straight drop on the string.Took me maybe 14 hours of practice to eventually land it 90% and repeating.The NTH initiates the swing to give more momentum and force necessary for the yoyo "drop" on string. TH "gun" stays still and pretty much lifeless and heavy. Making a narrow arch on the upswing is important to allow the yoyo to "drop' straight down nearly 90 degrees on the nearest string. I have my NTH about 4-6 inches lower than TH when I start. This allows the yoyo to pick up speed on the upswing to get just over my NTH index and just drop straight down nearly 90degrees like a stone on the string. My most common errors were unsteady TH, bad swing over, too much control over TH, thinking too much, playing to strong and intense, weak landing on string at acute angle with not enough force to cause the rejection. Keeping hands a little closer together with looser back string on the landing seems to get better results. The less you concentrate doing it or the more you drink, the better your results. Different yoyos give different outcomes. You just have to make unique adjustments to feel the zen of the magic drop. So far, I can land it better with a YYT Sage and YYF Replay. That string has a hard time coming off the Shutter. But, if you play with heavy and relaxed movement, you will get the magic drop time after time.

Set to .25 speed and watch 2:49 over and over if you can't wrap your head around the "rejection" part

Thanks man your tutorial instantly helped me out

[@ahmedice9417]

Make sure, you do the thing on the right hand make sure the swing is straight.

[@colinz4093]

Guys keep in mind depending on the shape and size of your yoyo you need to tilt your right hand in different angles.

[@jinshushart9375]

When i try to swing my yoyo to my throw hand, then yoyo kinda bind on the string. Any tips?

[@yoyoexpert]

I am sure we can help you out with this. What yo-yo are you using to try and do this trick?

[@seanmeyer7199]

Which Yoyo are you using

[@yoyoexpert]

YoYoJam Dark Magic 2

[@caseyarrr]

Is it "cheating" if you stick your thumb or a couple extra fingers in the loop around your non throw hand to separate the strings from each other more? I noticed you stuck your middle and ring finger in and it helped to land the drop on the back string. It's almost impossible for me to land it if I only have my non throw hand index finger in the loop when doing the rejection/drop cuz the strings can barely be separated.

[@yoyoexpert]

Not cheating at all! It does help to separate the strings a little more in this one.

[@caseyarrr]

YoYoExpert awesome thanks!

[@tunisianyoyoer2603]

Casey R ths most time it looks like magic drope but its fake u cant complete the roll in kamikaze trick

[@clone256]

Usually when I manage to hit a trick for the first time I can reproduce it. But with this one sometimes I hit it and sometimes I don't and I have no idea what causes it.

[@yoyoexpert]

Try recording yourself doing the trick, it can help you look back and see what you are doing right/wrong. You might find you move one hand slightly differently or angle your fingers a little differently when you hit it properly.

[@yoyoexpert]

Some tricks take a little longer to learn than others. Keep practicing and you'll get it!
