Want to learn more advanced looking yoyo tricks? If you have an unresponsive yoyo and you’re looking to learn some more tricks to add to your trick inventory, then here are 3 easy unresponsive yoyo tricks that look advanced.

Trap Door

This trick begins with Double or Nothing, but adds a more advanced looking element at the end. It stylishly finishes back into a trapeze.

Mistakes to Avoid:

Not spreading the “trap door” with your throw hand thumb and index finger wide enough
Not having enough swinging motion to get the yoyo through the “trap door”

Revolutions

This is a slack trick. It may look flashy and difficult, but all it requires is a steady and consistent motion with the slack. It is a great trick to add to any yoyo trick combos.

Mistakes to Avoid:

Yoyo string not having perfect tension (too tangled).
Making the motion too wide and not keeping the yoyo near your hand during the movement.

Arm Grind

Arm Grind is a super smooth and crowd pleasing yoyo trick that allows the yoyo to move up your arm. It may look difficult, but as long as you guide the yoyo up your arm and back with control, it can be one of the easiest yoyo tricks that look advanced.
