Reflection Eternal – Magne Sætran
Norwegian player Magne Sætran dropped a new video showing off the Kapr and Ocelot from his sponsor, Czech yoyo company Floutek. Magne dropped on the scene out of nowhere last year and has captivated everyone with his smooth style and beautiful slack tricks.
C3YoYoDesign x REWIND Video Contest – Magne Sætran
Slack master Magne Sætran turned in a pretty amazing entry for the C3YoYoDesign x REWIND video contest, definitely worth watching!
Magne Sætran – Ocelot (One Throw)
Some more trick goodness from Magne Sætran! This time it’s a single-throw video featuring a very undersized yoyo, the prototype Ocelot by revived Czech company, Floutek. No idea on specs but it looks ridiculously small…maybe even smaller than the C3YoYoDesign Token? In any event, it’s nice to see Magne Sætran take a break from his usual precision and have some fun fighting his equipment. Chaos style yoyoing! String used is by YoYoStringLab.
Magne Sætran – Counting Stars
A solid new video from Magne Sætran showing off his crazy slack skills. Magne’s got a great style of play…his trick construction is fairly typical of modern tech 1A play, but his slack control is really good and his pacing takes things to the next level. The result is fantastic to watch, and we expect plenty more great videos to come from Magne.
Magne Sætran – Kumomi
Norwegian player Magne Sætran shows us some straight-up beautiful yoyoing that had me reaching to re-string with a full-length string and work on making my slack tricks look better. Players are drawing parallels from Magne to Ryosuke Isawawa’s tricks and Eric Koloski’s style but honestly, I don’t care….I just think what Magne is doing looks amazing and I wish my yoyoing was that pretty. I swear it looks like he’s just playing with magical jellyfish tentacles or something.

2013 European YoYo Championship: A Look at the Favorites
The 2013 European Yo-yo Championship is just around the corner! With 150 players registered for 1A, competition will be fierce and furious. Who will come out on top? Here’s YoYoNews’ list of highlights:
Magne Sætran
We start out with the Europe’s biggest surprise of 2013, Norwegian marvel Magne Sætran. His first videos came out in the last days of 2012, and he’s already being considered a strong contender for the European title this year. His practice video above shows why. Can Magne become European Champion in his first contest ever?
Grzegorz Wójcik
Contrasting with Magne is the proven record of Polish veteran Plamek, winner of last year’s EYYC, and obviously a strong contender for this year as well. With more and more players taking competition seriously in Europe, the champion’s task will not be easy!
János Karancz
Another crowd favorite is Hungarian string charmer János Karancz. His unique style sets him apart from the crowd, and with support from his home turf in Budapest, János is Hungary’s biggest hope!
Vashek Kroutil
Last year’s runner-up and 2010 European Champion Vashek Kroutil is back for more! His contest experience and refined showmanship will be put to the test once again.
Petr Kavka
Another member of the all-star SLUSNY team from the Czech Republic is Petr Kavka. Petr had some excellent results in 2012 and if momentum means anything, he’s surely among the favorite!
Other strong contenders registered include 2011 European Champion Tomász Bubák, Iceland’s Palli Guðmundsson, Poland’s Michał Zakrzewski and Maciek Cwynar, Italy’s Riccardo Fraolini, Russia’s Maxim Gruzintsev, and UK’s Yuji Shimokawa Kelly.
The open international division is no sideshow, either, with World and National champions going up against each other. Here are just a few of them: Tyler Severance, Ben Conde, Ryosuke Iwasawa, 3A legends Kentaro Kimura and Taichiro Higashi, and the two most prominent “finger spinners” in the scene: Kohta Watanabe and Ethan “Momo” Wong.
Stay with us as we’ll be covering the contest as it unfolds next weekend!
