Magic YoYo N9, N8, T6, and T9

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!

Magic YoYo N5, N6, and T5 Review

Matthew Noel — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 19:16:42 +0000

This video shows off the magic yoyo N5, N6, and T5 yoyos. The N5 is named Desperado and the N6 is named Magistrate.

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

2011 El Salvador Mission Trip

This is a video of Life Fellowship's trip to El Salvador. It was a life changing experience to play and minister with the children. I was able to juggle and minister alongside my brother, who is a missionary there. I hadn't performed with him in years. My brother yoyos while I juggle near the middle of the video. Thanks to Brian Dube of Dube.com for providing the juggling clubs. They have great juggling and performance props. Enoy the video!

This is the second video from the Morgan City, La juggling shoot with Matthew Noel. This one has lots of tricks with spins (a.k.a. pirouettes) under high throws. My favorite trick is the last one. Check it out on my juggling videos page.

Looking Back

Matthew Noel — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:26:35 +0000

I am always looking for the next thing to inspire me. Today I had the opportunity to look back at something I experienced as a young man. While living in Singapore, my family took a vacation to Tioman island in Malaysia. There we witnessed a popular local sport that looked like a cross between soccer and volleyball. A wicker ball was kept in the air by the players feet and the players tried to score by kicking over the net. My brother and I promptly bought one and found out how hard it was.

Today I came across this documentary about a sport called Chinlone. The video features the artistic version of this sport. Prepare to be amazed!

fresh new look

Summer is over and it was great. I performed my show for thousands of kid and parents. Thanks to all who made it possible, I truly love every minute.

I figured it was time to freshen up the website a bit. If I was going to do it I wanted a cool and unique theme. The idea is that props are the food of the show and I am the Chef that turns them into a performance. Let me know what you think.

Time To Play

Lots of people at my performances ask how much I practice. For me it doesn't feel like practice, more like play. This video was taken in Lake Charles, LA while on my 2010 summer tour. Click HERE to see it.
