> [@Ebinballer](#): > > You can-- In Operation Dark Magic it’s the first trick andre does-- It takes a LOTof practice tho. That was a thumb grind. And I am not so sure that you can successfully pull off matador tricks with a DM. Don’t take my word for it though. ---

Its not exactly a matador, the trick is a thumb grind on the innermost rim, it spins on his thumb but gives the illusion that it is a matador like trick. Matador can only be done on yoyos with spikes, or yoyos with a matador indent like on the yoyojam black night. Both are very cool tricks though. Love em! J. 🙂 ---

Nope. But you can however, thumbgrind on the inner rim and tilt it so it’s horsontal. The dismount will be really hard though. I think you actually have to whip the yoyo into a gyro flop. But I am not completely sure of this. ---

Yes, you can. It just takes practice, and a good amount of it. Just understand that there are yo-yos way better set up for doing this sort of thing. The “nubs” on a DM aren’t matador spikes, but they’ll do the trick. For inspiration, I give you some kid pull-starting his Kickside like he had hubstacks on it.

YOU DONT HAVE TO POST 2 TIMES IN A ROW. YES you can! VERY VERY VERY VERY hard but is possible. If you took a drill and carved the nips on the side to a point then it would be easier. ---
