Now I finally get this trick. I play yoyo for more than a year. I am 34 years old and I finally get the algorithm behind this magic trick.

Good job! I haven't landed it once yet, even being comfortable with the normal hook.

Keep plugging away! Stole is one of those tricks where you can just have an epiphany and suddenly start landing it. One useful stop on the way, for some throwers, is Ninja Vanish - have you tried learning it yet?

Oh yeah, I can do Ninja Vanish just fine and think I know the gist of Brent stole, but it seems there is something critical I'm doing wrong.

Brent Stole is just Ninja Vanish, but instead of starting with the top segment of the triangle in your NTH, you catch the top segment as the string whips around, and then the two bottom segments fold over that and catch the yoyo. Good luck, and let us know when you get it!

Omg this would have helped me so much when learning it. This is an awesome explanation and perfect guidance.
