Dog Bite Yo-Yo Trick

The key to performing the Dog Bite Yo-Yo Trick is to not announce it in advance. Pretend that the "bite" occurs without your realizing it.

How to Do the Dog Bite Yo-Yo Trick:

Step 1: Begin by throwing a fast Sleeper.

Swing the yo-yo between your legs, below the knee.

Step 3: Jerk the string and time the return so that the yo-yo brushes against the underside of your pant leg as it returns. The yo-yo should grab the fabric of your pants and "bite" your leg.

When your yo-yo bites, look puzzled as if your yo-yo has "disappeared." Slowly turn around as if you are looking for it. Your audience will laugh when they see the yo-yo behind you, stuck on the back of your pant leg.

Yo-Yo Tip
Make sure you wear lightweight, loose fitting pants when performing this trick. You may have to do some experimenting as well. Some fabrics are easier for your yo-yo to grab than others.
