How can you make your dark magic yoyo to unresponsive?

My yoyo never works as a unresponsive playing yoyo. How did Andre and some other people on youtube do that? Also, Andre's dm is a double o ring, so is it supposed to be like that?

1. Andre's dark magic is double O-ring? Wow, I wouldnt think so. I doubt it is unless you got that information from a VERY reliable source. Just look at my answer for your last question and it should explain how to make it unresponsive.
2. Andre actually uses a stock dark magic, nothing but a worn in bearing, so nothing fancy there. Heres a little guide i have made on the yoyonation forum; http://www.yoyonation.com/talk/index.php/topic,44287.0.html Read through that a bit, but here are some ways that you can reduce responce in your dark magic: less response can be achived by: -SHAVING the o-ring (cutting off the top with a scalpel or sharp modelling knife, so the top is flush with the groove it sits is) -REPLACING the o-ring with flowable silicone or yoyojam silicone pads. STARBURST:Starbusts are the small spikes molded around the bearing of the yoyo, that will rub against the string, causing friction thus returning the yoyo. They will often make a buzzing sound as the string rubs against them. less response can be achieved by: -SANDING the starburst off. This can old be done on a lathe, or similar machinery. The starburst much be worn down and removed so they are no longer prominent from the yoyo half. (NOTE: only do this on hybrid yoyos, or you will have no response left!)
