make sure the string that you are holding with your throwhand, the part where your hand is an L shape, is really big. It can be difficult to do magic drop if you don’t do this. Or just keep practising.

keep your throwhand really really still and also just as the yoyo is coming over give a small pull with your non throw hand. I find keeping my thumb level or a little bit pointed down helps me
