The Genie is an absolutely classic move that looks beautiful on it’s own, however the simplicity of this trick belies the fact it is also an incredibly versatile shape. It transitions into a vast array of other tricks, making Genie an essential addition to your arsenal of tricks.

If this is your first time trying Layout, be prepared for a bit of thigh burn, but we promise you’ll get used to it with practice and that it will be totally worth it!
