Project Overview

This program was a really fun exploration of learning and using the yo-yo, an ancient art forum that debuted long before what we think of as the modern yo-yo. It's an old-fashioned toy that kids really still find appealing, as they learn some of the tricks taught by Dazzling Dave. The show had a lot of thrills but some great learning moments too as he showed the audience that some of these tricks take a lot of practice.
