YoYo Spotlight – C3yoyodesign x Magic YoYo Vapormotion

March 6, 2018 By Steve Brown

C3yoyodesign x Magic YoYo Vapormotion

C3yoyodesign x Magic YoYo Vapormotion Specs:

Diameter: 57 mm
Width: 42.85 mm
Weight: 64.4 grams
Response: 19mm Slim Pad
Bearing: Centering Bearing Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)
Retail Price: $45-$55 USD

C3yoyodesign has one of the most well-rounded and complete product lines on the market, with something for nearly every taste and need. Magic YoYo has one of the largest ranges of entry level price points for a variety of styles. The two companies met years ago at a contest in China, and hit it off. After bumping into each other again last year, they decided to work together on a new model and we got the Vapormotion, a new fingerspin yoyo designed for high performance at a low price.

The C3yoyodesign x Magic YoYo Vapormotion is a full plastic/metal hybrid, something we haven’t a lot of since YoYoJam closed up shop. An incredibly minimal plastic body holds together two large metal side panels that act as both weight rings and fingerspin cups.

PLAY

The C3 x Magic YoYo Vapormotion plays almost absurdly fast! Fans of a quick, light play style will absolutely adore the Vapormotion as it’s perfect for zipping through a ton of tricks quickly with a light touch on the string. It definitely feels like a 64 gram yoyo on the string, with that unique hybrid feel that’s bi-metal performance at a bargain price.

The spin time is pretty excellent, thanks to the extreme weight distribution created by the large metal cup design, and as you can imagine it’s fantastic for fingerspin tricks. If you’re looking for a fingerspin yoyo, you’ve found it. If you’re  looking for something that is stable and fast for speed combos, you’ve found it. If you’re looking for something that really doesn’t feel like any other yoyo released in the past couple of years, you’ve found it.

LOOKS

The Vapormotion keeps things simple without a lot of engraving or splash anodizing. This is a yoyo that was designed to play and play well, and they’ve allowed the actual design of the yoyo to really be the visual standout here. The box graphics (which follow the theme of the video thumbnail above) are a nod to Memorex cassette tapes from the late 80s / early 90s, but the looks of the yoyo itself are kept clean and distraction-free. Since the entire cup of the yoyo is meant to be a play area, there is no engraving that would interfere with play, and this allows you to really appreciate the shape that they designed. The Vapormotion is available in either solid colors or acid washes, both of which look great and are nicely done. (The acid washes do not interfere with play, since there is not the same kind of build-up that you get with splash anodizing.)

VALUE

The C3yoyodesign x Magic YoYo Vapormotion retails for $45 for solid colors and $55 for acid washes, making it an easy purchase for casual players and an affordable competition model for serious players who will need a half-dozen of them for contests. Fans of C3 and Magic YoYo should cop this yoyo immediately, fans of Ethan Wong Wing Hang should cop this yoyo immediately, and anyone who just loves unique yoyo design and great play should cop. this. yoyo. immediately!

The C3yoyodesign x Magic YoYo Vapormotion is available now at YoYoExpert.com.

C3yoyodesign x Magic YoYo Vapor Motion

November 21, 2017 By Steve Brown

C3yoyodesign and MagicYoYo have teamed up for a new collaboration, the Vapor Motion! This plastic/aluminum hybrid design is the next evolution of C3yoyodesigns amazing fingerspin yoyos, and another leap forward for Magic YoYo collaborations.

Following the success of last year’s Fingerspin release (a dual signature model for Ethan Wong and Kohta Watanabe), C3 wanted to try out some new ideas. The result is a polycarbonate plastic body with 6061 aluminum fingerspin caps with great weight distribution and a ton of rim weight, and the seal of approval from fingerspin pioneer Ethan Wong.

Check out full specs below and then head over to YoYoExpert to pick up one now!

C3X – Fingerspin™ ExK- Ethan Wong

March 27, 2017 By Steve Brown

I’ve been a fan of Ethan Wong for a few years now. I’m also old and pretty jaded about yoyo tricks since I’ve been watching them for over 20 years. And still, Ethan manages to impress me every. single. time. I see him throw. It’s amazing, and I cannot sing this guy’s praises loudly enough. From his incredible routine at EYYC 2013 that basically set the stage for horizontal play in yoyo contests to this fantastic new yoyo and collaboration with Kohta Watanabe, Ethan seems to be aiming for legend status and he’s definitely on his way. Enjoy.

Jeffrey Pang Announces SKYVA; New Plastic YoYo by Magic YoYo

July 11, 2016 By Steve Brown

Magic YoYo SKYVA

Jeffrey Pang announced a new collaboration with Magic YoYo…a plastic yoyo designed for optimum horizontal and fingerspin play at only a $20 retail. If anyone could do it, it’s Jeffrey. Check out full details on the project below, including specs and price. No set date for release just yet, but they should hit shelves in the next couple of weeks!

This is my first NON-Luftverk product in a long time. Plastics specialists Magicyoyo China contacted me like 6 months ago asking if I would help design and brand a plastic yoyo for them.

I knew Id never sell that many titanium yoyos which has always been sad to me – I would be designing a product for such a small audience. So here’s my chance to design something that nearly everyone can afford – 20USD.

Fingerspin style play has pretty much taken over everywhere. I wanted ahub that could outperform any yoyo at fingerspin style tricks. Its the reason why the hub of each yoyo is machined after injection molding making it super slick and seamless. There is a dual stage hub – one that is super easy to hit and the second smaller one to lock your finger in place. The ones who have tried it already know what I’m talking about.

And of course – simple minimalistic logos only. Packaging had to be as beautiful as my other stuff. The foam has an exact string cutout. And we even found suppliers for black elastic bands because they looked more aesthetically pleasing than brown ones. I wanted something that looked and felt ultra premium in the hand – without the premium price.

The best part of this project was learning so much – from helping them design the mold CAD to standing in front of the injection molding machine watching the first one come out – so hot you can barely hold it in your palm. But its surreal watching something you designed become reality right in front of your eyes.

So if you’ve read this far – hope you can pick one up from your favorite online retailer dropping in the next few weeks. Orders are being shipped out to stores as we speak.

Help spread the word! Tell everyone you know!

Thanks 🙂
