André Boulay grew up in Blandford,
Massachusetts, a town in the middle of nowhere with not too much to do. Walking into the A2Z Science and Learning Store he had no idea that what was about to happen would shape the next few years of his life. A yo-yo was placed in his hand, and he was immediately hooked. |
He began teaching classes and working part-time at A2Z during his
junior year of high school. Upon graduation he moved
onto college and began attending the University of Massachusetts in
Amherst. |

In 2004 he was given the chance to design his own yo-yo
by YoYoJam. The DarkMagic was born and quickly became one of the most popular and used yo-yos in major competitions. It has been used by such famous players as Yuuki Spencer, Paul Han, Augie Fash, Jason Lee, and others... More Info: TheDarkMagic.com |
André still currently works at A2Z three days a week. He
also works for YoYoJam as
the Team YoYoJam Director,
Assistant Manager Marketing, and answers the customer service emails
from the website. He no longer competes but you can find him at
most competitions behind the judges table. He is currently finishing
a BS at UMass Amherst in Psychology following the Neuroscience track
with a secondary major in Biology. |
