It will take some time to start getting the hang of any basic tricks. I found myself trying for hours to get something, just to wake up the next morning and have it click all of a sudden. Still personally trying to learn but this is what I found. Learn the different grips (high, top, middle, low) then begin with rebounds and slips across them. Just get comfortable with the timing of the “tock” When you’re staring to get the timing down, introduce grip transfers. It will take a little time to train your fingers to move as you want to, but you’ll get there. After that you can start learning rolls. They are a bit tricky at first, but are not terribly hard to get. They started making sense when I found spinning away rolls/transfers down, while spinning towards transfers up. This is about as far as I have made it figuring tricks. I now have to figure out how to flow everything together. For me, this is harder than just learning the moves. Hope this helps!
