Re: Thomas Pohle is the thief

If Tenyo is aware of this, they probably wouldn't care too much. It's exhausting and time consuming to make these by hand, and Thomas Pohle can't make enough of them to pose a serious threat to their bottom line. (I know that I will never become rich by inventing a trick. Lol) The least Pohle could ...

Pohle's version is made of wood and metal. I think Tenyo would also object to the sale of one of their tricks like this.

Re: T-198 Blue Crystal

I was interested in the Eddy Taytelbaum pieces myself, but I didn't bid on any due to bad timing issues. I don't think I would have been willing to match what some people ended up paying for them.

Re: Mystic Mirror - Magic Wagon

Not too shabby handling, Olaf! Remember, that is a clever way of saying you did an excellent job. I like how you made the handkerchief disappear into the mirror; the object doesn't just have to penetrate it. it would be even better if you could keep your hand from going behind the mirror to engage s...

This senence immediately did not seem very flattering to me !
Olaf, it's a clever way of saying that you did an excellent performance.

Sorry about the confusion. I watched Pat Summerall doing NFL commentary many years. It was one of his pet phrases.

Magic Wagon - Houdini Block Escape

I decided to make a block out of maple for my trick, to provide a contrast between it and the frame.

I took a cue from John Talbot and attached a silhouette of Houdini on the front.

Congrats Øyvind with Hextop!

Great job Øyvind. How did you ever conceive of the solution? I wonder if you make the spinning in the other direction if it would have stumped him.

At any rate, I have to give Mr. Puzzle a lot of praise for being able to figure the solution out. I would never have been able to do it myself.

Mini Tangram Paradox

Richard W - it's a common characteristic of the species of walnut. I agree with you completely that for $100, the builder should have selected better boards when making the puzzle. Dark brown walnut is one of the best woods and I like to work with it.

I didn't look up the name of the trick; you only mentioned you wanted us to select a number.
