Wanted to try and make some little routines that don't tread on the same old ground as usual. To mixed results. There's still a lot of ways to do things that haven't been found yet...
World on a String takes us into the world of competitive yo-yoing. Yo-yos are not just the nostalgic toys of a bygone era; they are equipment for competitive sport and intricate art. The film focuses on four players as they prepare for and take part in the World Yo-Yo Contest in America. It is a story of an close-knit underground community full of innovation, self expression, loss and friendship.

After getting the hat to your foot (the knock to foot is the most common way, but there are plenty of others) you can hop and quickly remove your foot from the hat. Quickly get your throwing foot onto the ground and place the other foot inside the hat. As you can see from the video the hat stays fairly still and it's you that does all the movement.
This video of the hat being spun as it is thrown between the feet should give you some ideas for variations on this trick.
