Fake Tangler

OK, so I gave it a stupid name. It's not actually fake, it just disappears. Josh Wedge called it "shadow tangler" when he saw it; I wish I was capable of thinking of cool names. Anyways. This is a neat trick, with all the visual punch of tangler but without all the nasty business about dismounting. The idea is putting a kink in the string and then tangling to create another kink in the opposite direction to cancel out the first kink. It's recommended that you have at least a little bit of tangler experience before you do this, but do what you want. (Sorry that the background has white edges; I need a better backdrop.)

STEP 1!

Throw a sidestyle sleeper with your left hand, and then throw a breakaway with your right hand over the left wrist. Put it in kinks, basically.

STEP 2!

Pinch both strings so the yo-yos are hanging about level. Pinwheel the yo-yos like around the worlds (clockwise?).

STEP 3!

Do tangler. If you don't know how to do tangler, well, you actually probably shouldn't be doing this trick, but don't worry about it. Basically, just cross the pinwheeling yo-yos' strings and they should rotate around the center kink they make.

STEP 4!

The beautiful thing about this trick is you don't need to dismount it! You can just drop the strings, and ta-da! You're out. Groovy.
