I call hax on the 'root beer float' trick. (let's see it at a contest) It's probably just a more sophisticated version of those toys you see that can 'levitate' a spinning top using magnets. Most yoyos are aluminum however, but some bearings are steel which is magnetic. (stainless steel isn't) Anyway, great video.
It is called coolant. it is an oil that they put in the tool and part so the cuts are smoother, extend the life of the tool, and to cool the part down.
id say the root beer float is done by spinning the yo-yo so fast that it creates something like a cushion of air between it and the floor. that ways it will float.
I remember when Yo-Hans and Kate Miller used to go around to all the malls in Arizona and do demos at Proyo kiosk stands. I had no idea he was still messing around with yoyo's. That's crazy he is still making the best yoyo's
See :58 and 1:02 It is an alum or steel with some magnetic rings added. Bottom line it is magnets repelling each other. It does take some skill to maintain the balance. Very cool. At :58 his other arm is following the yoyo as it floats away from him. 1:02 it drops as his hand momentarily breaks the magnet field. Cool stuff though.
Ahhh Higby this has been stumping me for ages! Whenever I come back in watch it I can't figure it out I know its not invisible threads Or magnets Does it have to do with magnetic force holding the yoyo up?
correct me if im wrong, but isnt a tarantula where you have an item tied on a thin string to your shirt? Because this is traveling between people, and the wait of a yoyo would have a very obvious effect ona shirt...
@Jalehjoon Well the yo-yos in this video do not stick to a magnet, they are aluminum. You would need one made out of steel or something, so I'm not sure.
I'm just gonna assume its a tool in magic called a loop, an almost invisible rubber band like piece of elastic.The G5 would be balancing on the loop. I can tell everyone now its not a fan,if look you can see that his hand goes off screen when he does the trick. However even if I'm wrong part of the fun is not knowing once you know how a trick is done it kind of takes the fun out of it.
If you look at the video, he only shows his left hand. I think his right hand id directly below the yoyo moving around. The hubstack was replaced with a magnet.
there is a fan underneath the yoyo. You can tell because he passes his had really quick underneath and when he does the yoyo drops a little. that is also why he only has to remove his top finger for it to lift
They use Machines called Lathes. They spin a pice of round stock and touch a tool to it to shave down the stock into what ever you want in this case it is a yoyo. The Lathes they use are called CNC lathes. They make a program and upload it to the CNC and it machines the part they want by its self.
You guys might wanna look in to magic tricks.. there is a prop called the tarantula (youtube it) and the effect created in this video might as well be done with something similar.
They are selling to retailers though at half the price people are buying them for and it is not cheap to make these, it has nothing to do with rare with cost of materials. Besides, they have led the market with affordable aluminum metal yo-yos.
also the reason that works with a ping pong ball is because of its shape. the air can flow easily around a sphere on all sides so it hovers in the stream. a yoyo is not the right shape you see...
Then how is it done? Is it similar to the levitating card trick where VERY thin strong material is used as a cable to the center of the object ? Or is this legit, because if it is I want to hear how it is done without magnets....
the yoyo is spining in the air thanks to inertial forces. He spins the yoyo with big force and thanks to that it's spining in the air. (sory for the spelling I am Bulgarian).
Im going to get a YoYo wich yoyo i should get Requirments : cheap,good for beginners, good sleep,butterfly or modified i was going to get duncan butterfly but it has short sleep time
Just because magnets aren't attracted to aluminum doesn't mean aluminum doesn't react to magnets. It wouldn't even require an electromagnet to get the aluminum to react. Do a Google search of Lenz's Law in relation to aluminum. At rest, aluminum isn't affected by a magnet, but while moving (yo-yo spinning) the magnet would repel the aluminum. Not saying that is the solution, but the aluminum could very well be affected by a magnet.
I want to see the inside of the yoyo. what is making it give off thrust it's like a little jet turbine that is really cool. they could probably make one that has so much thrust it flies up into the air like a ufo.
@yoyohigby i find it highly unlikely that a trick to make a object float isnt involved with a propulsion from a fan, magnetics or just some clear string
That is pretty amazing! I do have a guess though, maybe there's like ridges in the yo-yo where air goes through it fast enough and it produces lift??????? Idk awesome trick though!!!!!!!!
and btw everything has magnetic properties just certain things require a more powerful magnet Aluminum can be attracted but only with a high power electro magnet
@ryanhayn As mentioned before it is a stock aluminum G5+ available for sale at the time. Not steel sorry but we would love to see how a magnet works with a steel yoyo.
Did anybody figure out how the g5 floats yet????
There's a wind blowing machine undereath
how a yo yo is born:
open door. close door. take cigarrette. smoke said cigarrette.
you have a new yo yo!
О, помните то чудное время, когда детей интересовали трюки с йо-йо, а не тик ток и прочий ужас? Sweet time...

Anyway, great video.
Looks like crazy fun john!
And I love the ole timey factory bits in there aswell.
ive watched this video for 4 hours trying to figure out how he does it. i know the answers its because hes MAGIC!!!!
Nice floating trick,
I'm going to buy a can of compressed air and try it myself, hopefully it has enough pressure....
It is called coolant. it is an oil that they put in the tool and part so the cuts are smoother, extend the life of the tool, and to cool the part down.
Root beer float was sick. lol
id say the root beer float is done by spinning the yo-yo so fast that it creates something like a cushion of air between it and the floor. that ways it will float.
The floating one is a grey G5+ and the one being made is the 401sd.
I remember when Yo-Hans and Kate Miller used to go around to all the malls in Arizona and do demos at Proyo kiosk stands. I had no idea he was still messing around with yoyo's. That's crazy he is still making the best yoyo's

I remember when this video game out and my mind was blow. Back on yoyo nation.
Ahhh Higby this has been stumping me for ages!
Whenever I come back in watch it I can't figure it out
I know its not invisible threads
Or magnets
Does it have to do with magnetic force holding the yoyo up?
idk why this video makes me emotional. still lmao
correct me if im wrong, but isnt a tarantula where you have an item tied on a thin string to your shirt? Because this is traveling between people, and the wait of a yoyo would have a very obvious effect ona shirt...
It's been almost 4 years. Tell us already!!!!!
you're obviously disrupting airflow with your hand, so that's a light yoyo and a neat fan :)
@Jalehjoon Well the yo-yos in this video do not stick to a magnet, they are aluminum. You would need one made out of steel or something, so I'm not sure.
You are right! It is NOT floting, it is FLOATING!
401sd prototype and that is the yo-yo they were working on and machining the day I filmed.
I'm just gonna assume its a tool in magic called a loop, an almost invisible rubber band like piece of elastic.The G5 would be balancing on the loop. I can tell everyone now its not a fan,if look you can see that his hand goes off screen when he does the trick.

If you look at the video, he only shows his left hand. I think his right hand id directly below the yoyo moving around. The hubstack was replaced with a magnet.
i find the manufacturing process really intresting
Man, i wanna work there!!
there is a fan underneath the yoyo. You can tell because he passes his had really quick underneath and when he does the yoyo drops a little. that is also why he only has to remove his top finger for it to lift
They use Machines called Lathes. They spin a pice of round stock and touch a tool to it to shave down the stock into what ever you want in this case it is a yoyo. The Lathes they use are called CNC lathes. They make a program and upload it to the CNC and it machines the part they want by its self.
Haha someone on the inside told me it is indeed, a fan.
This was a great video.
You guys might wanna look in to magic tricks.. there is a prop called the tarantula (youtube it) and the effect created in this video might as well be done with something similar.
i dont get it....how does the yoyo actually float? is it spinning really fast or something?
lol that guys holding $10000 in yoyos under one arm like its nothing
OOOOOH!!!! so SWEET!!!
air made by the yoyo causes it to float in mid air?
Yep. I totally forgot the simple logic behind that. I was just too amazed at this stunt.
does anyone know what stores sell the Yo Yo Factory yo yos? not online stores like Wal-Mart and stuff
how do you do it? i mean... no one seems to know... are there small pallets like in a propellor undernieth making it float?! or what please tell us!
They are selling to retailers though at half the price people are buying them for and it is not cheap to make these, it has nothing to do with rare with cost of materials. Besides, they have led the market with affordable aluminum metal yo-yos.
how is this yoyo flying in the air? i would like to know plz.....is it because it's spinning so fast?
also the reason that works with a ping pong ball is because of its shape. the air can flow easily around a sphere on all sides so it hovers in the stream. a yoyo is not the right shape you see...
where do you get a white speed dial from? I looked everywhere, can someone help?
How does that work? Blows air out otif it or something like that?
Then how is it done?
Is it similar to the levitating card trick where VERY thin strong material is used as a cable to the center of the object ?
Or is this legit, because if it is I want to hear how it is done without magnets....
If you work at a YYF Factory, Do you get discounts, or test them out?
do those machines use lasers to cut the yoyos?
@PlumpkinPied Nope, the yo-yo is made from Aircraft Aluminum which does not respond to magnets. Stock grey G5+
can u tell me the process of making a yoyo how do the proffesionals do it
There are only a few retailers that sell outside of the web. Where are you at?
how do u do the rootbeer float? it confuses me.
Has the RBF ever been performed outside of the YYF Factory ?
the yoyo is spining in the air thanks to inertial forces. He spins the yoyo with big force and thanks to that it's spining in the air. (sory for the spelling I am Bulgarian).
i think the power of the yoy is makeing the air spin so it floats (my thoughts)
how do u get the yoyo to fly?? it looks so cool please tell me.
is there a fan type thing in the yo-yo?
the yoyo is spining to fast so it start to fly like helicopter ? somthink like that ?
@NikFromNYC Sounds cool! No magnets at all were used in this though.
Yeah. Pull start and let it go sideways. It really works
Im going to get a YoYo wich yoyo i should get
Requirments : cheap,good for beginners, good sleep,butterfly or modified
i was going to get duncan butterfly but it has short sleep time
@vicman7usa It is not magnets, sorry! This is a stock G5+ which is aluminum and is not affected by Magnetism.
I'm also wondering how the yoyo is floating...
@logdogfrog yes, aircraft aluminium is famed for its anti-gravity properties.
Just because magnets aren't attracted to aluminum doesn't mean aluminum doesn't react to magnets. It wouldn't even require an electromagnet to get the aluminum to react. Do a Google search of Lenz's Law in relation to aluminum. At rest, aluminum isn't affected by a magnet, but while moving (yo-yo spinning) the magnet would repel the aluminum. Not saying that is the solution, but the aluminum could very well be affected by a magnet.
Cool Tricks
did you spot the yoyo names at the start it says g5 and on the warning sign it says severe lol
G5+ no longer available but the Superstar is close and retails for around $110
just a magic yoyo
I want to see the inside of the yoyo. what is making it give off thrust it's like a little jet turbine that is really cool. they could probably make one that has so much thrust it flies up into the air like a ufo.
does any1 know how the g5 does the root beer float?
Pretty obvious that there's a fan under it (much like the levitating ping-pong ball trick) because of the swiping hand @ 1:05.
@yoyohigby i find it highly unlikely that a trick to make a object float isnt involved with a propulsion from a fan, magnetics or just some clear string
guys it is a magnet well electro magnet i think its the same concept as those floating magnet tops (search youtube theres vids of how they work)
how do they cut the metal?
I'm not totally sure what town it was in. But near Gilbert I think.
how do you do the new trick the rootbeer float
what episode was it
@noper12345 I actually don't know, but it's easy to tell there's magnets because it vibrates up and down
it looks likes he's holding something under the yoyo with his right hand when the yoyo moves his arm moves under it
Will this work with a grind machine?
Are G5s able to float too?
Hes using loops which are strings that can strech up to 5 times there size and they transparent.
how do they make them float
DARN IT! There's something under it at 1:15~1:17 though. It's between the hubstack and rims... could that be... ?
Which song by the 'Chemical Brothers' is this?
so john, how did they do it?
@sajkam5 Not sure but it is a G5+ used in the video.
could you tell us how you did it?
Were can I get one. Pls respond asap!
Its not a fan. Its a magnet. Your assuming the g5 is aluminum. Kind of like the floating pen trick.
i like yo-yo tricks o---------O
really cool video!!! I don't really know how did you let it fly. How???????how????
so this was the G5 that was floating?
TELL US HOW YOU DID IT!!! I MUST KNOW! AHHHH... i think you spun it so fast that it created lift for itself.. and it has no friction...
LOL
maybe because there is air blowing from underneath it? dunno
I don't think they are out yet.
That is pretty amazing! I do have a guess though, maybe there's like ridges in the yo-yo where air goes through it fast enough and it produces lift??????? Idk awesome trick though!!!!!!!!
and btw everything has magnetic properties just certain things require a more powerful magnet Aluminum can be attracted but only with a high power electro magnet
Why dint you film the bottom of the yoyo ?
The Chemical Brothers doing Star Guitar
@ryanhayn As mentioned before it is a stock aluminum G5+ available for sale at the time. Not steel sorry but we would love to see how a magnet works with a steel yoyo.
