Yo-Yo Survival 101; The Yo-Yo ABC's After Brett gets to know the audience a bit and gives the scouts some cool facts about yo-yos, he briefly shares with them his adventures as a yo-yo professional. He explains that becoming proficient with a yo-yo doesn’t happen overnight, BUT that it doesn’t HAVE to take a long time, either. Brett then plunges into the subject matter of the show – The ABC’s of yo-yo play! He has simplified the yo-yo learning process by creating a 5-trick system that introduces the new yo-yo players to the different arm motions and techniques that comprise the fundamental skills that create a solid foundation for yo-yo play. Here are the 5 basic tricks: (click the link to see the trick) Gravity Pull/Power Throw, Sleeper, ForwardPass, Loop the Loop and the Breakaway. Through demonstrating these 5 tricks, he illustrates to his audience how each skill builds on the other to create some of the most amazing yo-yo tricks to date, such as "Boing Boing", "Atom Smasher" and "Iron Whip". (Don’t worry, he fits the good ole’ tricks in there, too!) |

Each of the 5 tricks are easy to learn and fun to do both alone or with friends. This program focuses on the importance of skill-building, perseverence, practice and patience. The show lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour. Brett often times stays late to hang with the scouts, answer questions and when applicable (and with permission), sell yo-yos.
