Dick Stohr: Hi! I'm Dick Stohr and I'm That Yo-Yo Guy. I've been a yo-yo professional, since 1997 when I quit my day job to do this full time because it's a lot more fun. I do the Spintastics, Yo-Yo Fun, and Science of Spin Program in elementary schools and libraries in the Mid-Atlantic States. I have been elected to the Board of Directors of the American Yo-Yo Association, since 1998, and I judge yo-yo contests at the Worlds, the Nationals, some of the Regional's, a lot of the Locals. What I want to do today is teach you, how to get started; how to do the basics; how to start safely and properly, so that you don't have to unlearn bad habits, when you're playing with -- getting started and trying to go into the advanced tricks. So, what I want to do is start-off first of all with what is a yo-yo, how does it work, what is the string and how do we use the string to get the yo-yo to do the things we want it to do? And then we'll go into some of the non-sleeping tricks, then we'll go into some of the sleeping tricks, and maybe I'll show you one or two advanced tricks just to watch your appetite to enjoy playing with a yo-yo.
