Silicone will help and maybe you might want to look into shaving the starburst ---

Loosen the gap, it’s adjustable. I added the KonKave bearing to it also and it seems to spin longer and a be a little more unresponsive. Here’s how Andre does it. [YoYoExpert.com - Maintenance - Adjustable Gaps](http://yoyoexpert.com/learn/408-maintenance-adjusting-gaps.html) ---

[YoYoExpert.com - Maintenance - Adjustable Gaps](http://yoyoexpert.com/learn/408-maintenance-adjusting-gaps.html) Just be aware that if you get the Koncave bearing it makes it more reponsive until you were it in. ---

True at first it was a little responsive, but I throw it at work all day as a stress reliever from all the nasty calls I have to take. haha It seems to be wearing in pretty well. Side note whats the average wear in period for most bearings? ---

To make your Dark magic more unresponsive you can any combination of the following to the yoyo. 1. You can replace the o-ring with flowable silicone or silicone o-ring. 2. You can sand down the starburst. 3. You can make it dual silicone. 4.You can throw in some spacers. 5.You can throw in a KK but it doenst make to much difference IMO. 4. Simlpy open up the gap and clean the bearing.
