One of the tricks is indeed to put a loop around the axle. This allows 
the string to impart greater speed to the diabolo. The trick is to then 
unwrap it again. (I always seem to end up unwrapping in the wrong 
direction...)

But yeah, sure, designing new tricks is more difficult than you'd 
imagine, partly for this reason. ;-)
