"Flytraps" a text description+video of them.
« on: September 17, 2009, 03:03:21 AM »

Flytraps.

Within the video I give a small detail on what they are but I wanted to type out a little bit longer of a text description on what they are. Essentially, this is what I consider the real "suicide" variation that is done using the slipknot/moebius. I say this is a new type of trick, but then again it may not be truthful. So I put down that I've been expanding on it.

What the trick basically is, is that you open up the slipknot and you mount it in a various way, do a certain motion, and when you do that you let go, causing it project away to whatever direction you have it, and the slipknot opens in the air, with that you get your middle or whatever finger back into the hold.

The varying degrees of the trick is depending on timing, string tension and the speed of the motion you project it. Each is a little different on how one can present it.

Out of the seven presented, Zohar has the most "depth" to it.

Try them out! Have fun~

That's so cool! Nice presentation of the tricks too. I don't feel they're exclusively mobius, I can see people incorporating them in to slippery eel or even ordinary 1a outside of competitions, which is sweeet!

Wow, impressive concept Zammy. All the tricks were, IMO, very eye-catching!

Loved the video and all that was in it! (Especially Zohar!)

Jazzmonkey, first thing to know is when trying to do moebius, you need to use two fingers within the slipknot instead of one. Then you can spread your fingers apart to make the loop bigger, causing it to open up alot more easier and smoothly. Once you practice that, its all a matter of practice to get the speed up.

I'm making a tutorial video which is going to explain alot of the stuff I do, such as how I open it and so forth..
