    My Grandpa Floyd Fanning in Wallowa Oregon made me one of these in 1971!! He called it a Whoopee stick and you got a person to exclaim "Whoopee!" and then make the prop reverse. I had a lot of fun and I still have that stick today. I Treasure it. The woodcarver Linker on youtube made one and said it could be used as a lie detector! LOLOLOL I am going to make some and hand them out now. Thanks for the idea and the inspiration!! Your a Genius for sure.

      Thank you for sharing! I had my first experience with one of these when I was very young as well. I can’t remember who or where but it left such an impression that I remembered it in adulthood and had to make one to share with others. One turned into hundreds and eventually this video.
      Thanks for watching!!

    My great-grand uncle used to make these for us as a kid. It was called a hooy stick. I'm an old man now and I make them for my great grand nieces. Play have a blast with them

    I make these at the Farmers' Museum as it was a toy used back in the 19th century to see if kids were ready to begin learning to drive work animals. Gee & haw were the commands to go right & left. If the kid could learn how to get the blade to turn on command, it showed they had the critical thinking skills needed to be ready to learn to drive horses, mules, and/or oxen.

    I had one of these as a kid. I played with it at my grandparents. I think my grandfather made it for me and my brother.

    My father in law, who just passed away two months ago, used to call this a YIP STICK. He would explain that as you were rubbing the stick with the other stick you had to say YIP, YIP, YIP and if you didn't it wouldn't work. Of course he knew the finger/thumb trick and would only put his fingers on the stick while saying "yip yip yip" repeatedly. And of course as soon as he stopped saying it he'd stop with the finger or thumb. So in our world it was always known as a YIP STICK! This is the first of your videos that I've seen, just found your channel from How Ridiculous YT with the Bowling Ball Cannon. Great work! Thank you for educating us!

    I have several of these in various sizes, first one bought back in the 80s at Scarborough Faire in Texas. From there to Montana I've only ever seen them called Hooey Sticks. The gag is to say "hooey" each time you change. You get good and the switch is barely noticable.

    It inspired me I had my ring and chain trick out. I’m going outside to make one or five. Simple and cool just like the ring chain thing. Thanks for the idea I’m teaching a first grader. He’s pretty smart. Yeah my son is going to trip when it switches directions

      Hi Maverick!
      Which part are you referring to?

  • @lukeherdaii9528
    @lukeherdaii9528 Před 3 měsíci

    2:45 touching the finger to the stick while rubbing changes the dynamics?
