Looky what I found: ![magnetic1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/0/6/90654b84e10b6be442102ac68bf31b08a52db9e3.jpeg) ![magnetic2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/d/7/fd738a60cb36b49efd1c139a222fe864bd81bf3d.jpeg) Never seen a magnetic spin top before. Hopefully moose and squirrel…uh, goldfish can teach me all about it. 🤣 ---

Haaa, that’s pretty cool - and glow in the dark! ---

Icing on the cake, my friend. Like any other child of the 80s, I’m a sucker for glow in the dark stuff. 😁 ---

Updates! So, the magnetic part of the top is the tip on the crown; the string comes with a steel ring instead of a button (I replaced it with a keyring to fit my giant adult hands): ![top](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/6/4/864ba413b06d4dfd0175513800fb3dade9f01490.jpeg) According to the included book, you use this ring/magnetic combo to do all sorts of pickup and wire tricks. I have yet to attempt them (it was late last night when I took these pics!) Glow effect looks great in person…not so great with night mode on my phone: ![glow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/e/0/ae0d7462f361e845877d99756e9da54bae74e2d6.jpeg) ---

How does the quality feel. Think it would break if you threw it? ---

Now that is something completely different. ---

I have one of these that I purchased over 20 years ago. It’s never really clicked with me though. Fun to mess around with, but it’s very light. Similar to a Duncan Imperial plastic spin top. Mine was packaged individually and didn’t come with a book, unfortunately! ---

Yeah, he said it. Very close to a Duncan Imperial. Light, but fun to throw. Just don’t sail it into any nearby walls. :wink: Going to try some of the magnetic tricks tonight to see if they even work!
