Yo Yo Tricks: 101 New Tricks for your Yo-yo

This book was great for using to develop tricks with a yo yo. Easy to follow for a 12 year old.

I'm a yo-yo from way back. Whoops...I meant "yo-yoer." At least I think I did. Through no fault of my own, I spent a great deal of time in a hospital when I was younger. During this time, some well-wishing relative gave me a yo-yo, which was one of the few action toys I could play with while being stuck in a railed hospital bed in a body cast. I wish I'd had this book to go along with it because back then, I was more likely to clobber myself in the head than to do an "Around the World." The book consists of a little history of the toy and well-done line drawings of trick how-tos. What caught my interest most was some of the tips on how to make your own tricks and/or win competitions. Yo-yos are great fun, even now (and becoming a lost art) so if you've got a kid (or a grownup) who wants to learn more than just up and down, this book will be very helpful in getting them to a place of proficiency. Due to my own history with it, I can also recommend this as a "doable" toy and book combo for someone who is in a state of forced immobility. I would recommend to the author that they consider marketing with a yo-yo maker to include this in a package deal with a toy included--because to have this book with a toy included would be a great selling point.

I remember having a Yo-Yo as a child and loving it. I could only master a few tricks: walk the dog, the swing one. This book brought back such great memories! It's a simple book to read with step-by-step instructions for how to perform many tricks you (I'm too old) remember as a child. For me, this is the perfect grand-parenting trick book. After practicing a few minutes I was back to having fun. (My wrists don't bend like they used too, though.) Next time I'm with my grandkids, I'll bring out my yo-yo and show them a thing or two!

This looks like a very good book to teach him to do tricks with the yo-yo. I bought him for Christmas.

My dad competed in yo-yo tournaments as a young boy. Got this for my son in law to teach my grandson.

My son loves to yo yo. He enjoyed this, as did I!

Some and easy to follow

Not many pictures for a trick book which needs to be visual.
