Intro:
8 weeks ago, my yoyojam dark magic came out of the yoyogalaxy warehouse and went for the plane. 4 weeks ago, my dark magic was delivered to my house. I opened the box and there lay the yoyojam dark magic. The first thing that ran through my mind when I saw it was “oh DANG that looks good!”
First throws:
So I opened the little box and put my finger into the yellow string that came on it. I snapped my wrist as hard as I can and down it went. 1 minute mark, 2 minute mark, 2:34 on my first throw! I said to myself " WOW, this yoyo is amazing, probably the best for its price!" I played with it, did a couple of grinds, slacks, suicides and whips and in my opinion I had to give it ( out of all the yoyos out there) at least a 7 out of 10 for nearly every aspect of yoyoing today. I had say it would be one of the few good yoyos to ever suite my style.
Info:
The dark magic yoyo is the US finallist and now judge , Andre Boulay’s signature series yoyo. He
used it to do his unique thumb grinds in the northeast regionals and won the title. The dark magic has also been used to place as high as 2nd in the world yoyo contest and 1st in the national yoyo contest.
Whats good about it:
It is a pretty wide yoyo at 41mm and easier to nail those difficult string tricks. It has an adjustable gap which means you can make it more responsive if the gap is smaller and it will be less responsive if the gap is bigger. It has plastic inside and metal rims which makes it more stable makes it spin for a long amount of time. The cap pattern fits perfectly into the yoyo itself. It has an inner ridge and an outer ridge to be able to do the best thumb grinds you could ever imagine. The caps and the rims also shines in the light which makes it look so stunning. It’s response is also a great player because on one side it has o-ring and on the other it has starburst. The o-ring helps you grab the string when you want to and the starburst, however is less responsive so it is just kind of a blend of responsive and non-responsive. But the one thing is that I just cannot get over the sleep time of this yoyo( 4 mins 52 sec with KK bearing) its just absolutely amazing.
Whats bad about it:
Sometimes the bearing makes loud noises so you can either put lube on it or just get over it because somehow the noise of the bearing just stops.

Closing statements:
