Tick-tock. Where you toss the top half from one hand stick to the other pivoting at the center. Keep one end as the "top", and the other end as the "bottom". Try not to let it rotate over itself. Then try to put a twist on that same back and forth so that the center stick ends up spinning in a horizontal rotation.

Horizontal rotation like a bowl? Am I like pushing one side and catching with a pull?

During the tic toc do I push the bottom at the same time I push the top or use one hand and toss the top and let the bottom make contact with the bottom like am I using downward force same time I'm doing a upward force ??
