Our does the new magic yo-yo N 12 (shark) remind me a little too much of the Duncan Barracuda…

I don’t see it based on the profile. Any “V” profile will look similar, and these two are actually dissimilar compared to others I’ve seen. Is the cup the same?

Yeah I don’t think they stole the idea it’s just sort of an over played shape.

It is a little fishy having two yoyos look similar and both having aquatic logos. 😃

Magic YoYo designed it with the person who designed the original Audley. YoyoFactory then took the design.

How are magic yoyos? They are ridiculously cheap, and the ones with z-stacks interest me. Anyone got the word? I wouldn’t mind paying 10-15 bucks for it if it is decent

I have no way of knowing who did what first, but THESE are eerily similar yoyos. The Shark and Barracuda aren’t nearly so close; as mentioned earlier they’re just an overdone shape.

I like Magic yoyo. I have a N8 which I like and I am getting an N9 for Christmas. I have played 4 different Magic yoyo’s so far and I recommend trying them out. I have tried a N8, a N6, two N5’s and a dark angel 1.

I’m very interested in the N9 and T9… They are so cheap, I’m tempted to just buy them. But I also want them to last…
