Good Morning people, Im a person who never experienced in the YoYoJam era, which there was some really cool yoyos at that time. A few months ago i bought a DarkMagic from a friend, and i really fell in love with it yet super scared to play a lot with it since you will never know a 20 yr old yoyo will crack. So after I designed my own PC yoyo a few moths ago, I started a side project to test if i can design a DarkMagic replica but with machined PC. So, here it is, PC + 7075 AL RIMs Width: 41.9mm Diamater: 56.4mm weight: 70.9g ![20231123_091503](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/2/6/726adeb08d4aa1ac7a90235bf6030bfd6735a9e0.webp) ![20231123_091543](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/a/e/9ae7380e6dbc54ec569799f20ba2e28819d0a228.webp) ![20231123_091514](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/f/4/af4947d74ef2354ad7cdbc82c447911ef1041833.webp) Well actucally i didnt do really good on the weight part i must say. but im glad i tried to make one just for the repect of YoYoJam. So yeah im heading back and play it for a bit, see ya guys later! ---

Looks pretty spot on to me. Yoyowiki says the weight for the og DM is 69-70g so you’re just barely over that. ![Screenshot_20231122-201208](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/8/7/f87044187462548bdbe2890d897e5fe6655146f8.jpeg) @AndreBoulay can you make a run of these? ---

Thanks, after playing a bit more, the feeling of playing the original dark magic is coming back! BTW, i still have 3 more prototype in stock, so if anyone is interested let me know (its not cheap though 🤣) ---

Looks nice! The Dark Magic is probably the best yoyo ever all things considered. The more I play with them, the more I think this. I prefer the original over the DM2. Yes, you need to keep the weight above 69 grams. That’s part of the Dark Magic’s charm. If/when Andre ever does a DM3 I really hope he keeps the weight the same, and does not follow the light as a feather trend we are plagued with now. ---

May i ask why the weight is over 69 on dark magic? Was it designed that way of play, or just it was hard to lower the weight. Sorry if i asked stupid questions ---

Andre specifically wanted a heavier yoyo. You can read about it here: [Interview with Andre Boulay - Home of the offical YoYo fun forum](https://web.archive.org/web/20100212183457/http://theyo.com/yoyo/showthread.php?t=30914) ---

Thanks for the info, A lot of people have tested the ReDM liked it very much, they think its an improvment over the original DM, I am considering to mass produce it in the future, so lets see how it works later on. still waiting on andres reply. ---
