This Duncan Freehand 2 was a special limited edition made for exclusively for Infinite Illusions and their associated www.yoyoguy.com website. The yo-yo itself uses a size A ball bearing axle along with Duncan Friction Stickers. It came with a red die counterweight and one extra cotton string. The counterweight was attached to the free end of the string. It functioned as a perfectly-weighted counterbalance instead of the traditionally looping the string around your finger. Of course, it was also great for traditional yo-yo play as well where the string was attached to your finger.
Pictured on the back of the package is Steve Brown, the designer of the yo-yo for Duncan and inventor of freehand yo-yo play, also known as 5A. Steve was also a long time Infinite Illusions associate.
After a packaged Duncan Freehand 2 was opened you could easily swap bodies and side caps from other Freehand 2s to create new variations. For that reason, these special editions are best collected in their original, unopened packaging.
