Specialty Boxed Tenyo Magic

Before Tenyo started packaging magic tricks for the mass market, they sold tricks in Japan for professional magicians. Most of these tricks were not created by Tenyo and many were made elsewhere. There is an extensive amount of tricks that Tenyo sold in this manner. Tenyo still releases these types of tricks but they are only officially sold in Japan.

Rabbit Explosion

Hideo Kato

Description

A sponge rabbit routine like no other with a final climax of 40 quality sponge rabbits exploding all over the place. Very impressive.

Comments

This item was sold in Japan in the blue box to professional magicians . A slightly different version was sold in the US at Louis Tannens. The difference is in the element that holds the 40 rabbits together before the reveal.

Up and Down Ball

Description

A ball moves up and down within a clear rectangular tube.

Comments

The manner in which the tube is decorated cleverly hides the internal gimmick. The ball looks the same as the ball used in Crystal Tube and Burglar Ball but it is slightly larger.

Astrosphere

Description

A large reflective ball floats around a foulard held by the magician.

Comments

Many versions of this trick exist but Tony Spina of Louis Tannen’s Magic, New York City, named the version they sold Astrosphere. Tenyo licensed his version to be sold in Japan to professional magicians. You can see the Tannen’s logo on the instruction sheet. It is worth noting that the ball and foulard are very delicate.
