About this trick
This one has a bad habit of causing major string burn.  I was practicing it for a while once and it got so bad that I just had to stop for a few hours.  Of course, I continued again later and just made it worse, hahaha.  Just try to be a little careful.  If you totally ruin your hands, you won't be able to yoyo anymore, so it's something to think about. :)

About this trick
This trick's difficulty is highly overrated.  It's a very simple trick as long as you know what to do and when to do it.  The part of trick where you swing the slack is similar to Hidemasa Hook, but make sure you only let the side of the slack closest to you swing around your freehand index finger; not both sides, as in Hidemasa Hook.

Practice.  I'm sure you'll get it.

About this trick
The first time in the trick that you bring a triangle around the yoyo really is much easier done in one fluid motion.  Breaking it up into two steps, however, was the only way I could successfully explain it.  So, after you have a good understanding of how what goes where in those two steps, I highly recommend just doing it in one step.

Near the end when you bring a triangle around the yoyo twice ---from one side and then from the other side--- the second time has a high snag potential.  Try to be very smooth with the string there.
