<p>This video shows off the magic yoyo N9, N8, T6, and T9 yoyos. The N9 is  called N9 - floating and is my favorite out of this group. It has  effective hubstacks, a beautiful spatter anodized finish, and is smooth  on the string. The N8 is undersized and quite fun. The T6 is a great all  around yoyo. All are unresponsive out of the box. My current everyday  throw is between the N9 - floating and N5 Desperado. Overall the yoyos  play extremely well. Thanks to magic yoyo for letting me shoot this  video.  I'm not the best yoyoer but I love to throw!</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Magic YoYo N5, N6, and T5 Review</title><category term="desperado"/><category term="magic yoyo"/><category term="magistrate"/><category term="n5"/><category term="n6"/><category term="review"/><category term="t5"/><category term="yoyo"/><id>http://www.themagicyoyo.com/blog/2011/7/27/magic-yoyo-n5-n6-and-t5-review.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.themagicyoyo.com/blog/2011/7/27/magic-yoyo-n5-n6-and-t5-review.html"/><author><name>Matthew Noel</name></author><published>2011-07-27T19:16:42Z</published><updated>2011-07-27T19:16:42Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>This video shows off the magic yoyo N5, N6, and T5 yoyos.

<p>I felt like a kid when I received the three yoyos.&nbsp; The packaging and anodized yoyos look great.&nbsp; I found the included polyester string a bit grippy with the silicone friction pads.&nbsp; I quickly put on my yoyo jam yellow string and it performed great.&nbsp; The concave bearing is smooth through string tricks.&nbsp; Overall the yoyos play  extremely well.  My favorite so far is the Desperado.﻿&nbsp; This is a win for a reasonably priced set of metal yoyos with solid play.&nbsp; Below are a few photos of the packaging and yoyos.&nbsp; Enjoy!</p>

<p>Today I came across this documentary about a sport called Chinlone.&nbsp; The video features the artistic version of this sport.&nbsp; Prepare to be amazed!</p>
