Although the yo-yo craze saw its success swing between the '80s and '90s, there some people out there who even today haven't given up on the stringed toy. Take this Japanese yo-yo performer, who goes by the stage name Black. He's a 'World Yo-Yo Champion' and the trick he's going to show you is sheer awesomeness in a blink of an eye!

The Redditor who posted this video of amazing yo-yo performer Alec Campbell writes, "My friend wants to go professional." We're inclined to say that Campbell is more than ready to take it to the next level.
