I used to give everyone the long explanation of practice, and hand / eye coordination. Now I just tell people I am a magician  ;)

Practice is the perfect answer.  Back before I was able to catch them I wondered how my friend was doing it.  Now its almost like slow motion, you just catch it there.  Because it's where your supposed to catch it.  Or this would be a perfect time to use something like, "it's not the size of the tip, it's the sling of the string".  I just made that up and I like it.  Think that will be my new slogan.  It's about to become my signature if you can do those on here.  The other thing is that is a typical woman question.  One of those where she says that and then you say, you know it really is small.  How do I do it?  Then you go a week with out being able to do it again.

It is funny how people think we are actually catching the tip exactly on the tip.  I tell people the truth; it is easy to catch because the top is tapered, and if you land the string anywhere between the largest diameter and the tip, the string will funnel down to the tip.  Cake.

If you say, "I am not a magician, I just do magical things with tops", you will still have them thinking - what are you?

OK.  Pulp, I gave it a shot.  It just doesn't sound as good in Spanish as it does in English......
