While some believe China might have made the first yo-yo, the first documented case of the toy was in ancient Greece around 440 BCE. The modern yoyo has a much more modern appearance with the first yoyo company being formed in 1929. There are hundreds of different tricks that can be done with a yoyo in the hands of an expert.
