Tenyo Magic Forum

Welcome, Rod!

Welcome to the forum, BillD!

Here is a different type of glass penetration by the Great Fred Kaps.

Hi Rob! Remember the last time we were discussing Sidetrack and I mentioned one that does not use a cover? The effect I have in mind is similar to Magic Wagon but the method is the same with Sidetrack. The Magic Wagon method uses the Illusionarium principle. My method requires thick props. The props...

I like his version of Sidetrack. His method is brilliant.



It would have been better if he did not use a black background. The added effect that the middle part is transparent destroys the illusion. The original Sidetrack effect is good enough.

Both effects are very strong but requires rehearsal. Properly presented these effects seems like miracles. Letters appear at the backs of playing cards to form words or initials thought of by the spectators. It can be performed in any language as long as it uses the same letters as the English alpha...

These Fantasio products in Tenyo boxes are great. They make a very nice addition to any Tenyo collection. Sometimes I like the Tenyo packaging more than the trick itself.

I like your Shocking Hand Greeter, Victor. It's the first time I've ever seen one. Thank you for posting it here.

I like your idea Gaz. It will be a vicarious experience for all of us. I regret I was not able to take a video when I opened the shrink wrapped Ninja Experiment Botond sent me.

The handling is clean and the gimmick is clever. Great thinking, Japanmagic!

Happy Anniversary FSO and all the members!

Congratulations and thanks to the Tenyo Guru, John Mazza, who created this forum.

Thanks to all who shared ideas, valuable information, photos, videos, and advices.

Yes Victor, you can do the Twin Dice Towers with these props. The method may be very simple but most often it is the simple method that fools people. I think your spectators will more likely want to examine these props than the paper bag especially if you don't show the inside of the cover at the st...

Nice vintage props, Victor. I think the original version of this trick is the Silk Cylinder. The goldfish trick is a version of this. Telesphere is a further improvement. Yes, the gimmicks are similar. Please search the Members Section of this forum for additional information. I do not have this tri...

I like the routine that comes with the trick. Unfortunately, Elliot is right, the prop is unreliable. Mine does not open and close properly. I perform this trick with the gimmick permanently open but the effect is greatly lessened.

The illusion is great. I hope you won't mind if I make a suggestion. Why not make a front and back cover. The covers can simply be made of removable cardboard. To perform, insert the pen, remove the front cover, remove the back cover, and add the sponge balls. You can also have a different design on...

Pete,

I overlooked the fact that you've been collecting magic for 40 years. Most magic collectors prefer rare pieces. Contact Botond because he has some reasonably priced rare items. Visit the sister website of this forum too and you might find what you are looking for.

Welcome Pete!

If you are a new collector I suggest that you buy the cheaper ones instead of the expensive rare pieces unless the rare piece is a bargain. It's more fun to play with 20 cheap tricks than 3 rare tricks.

Knife of the Ninja can be examined but requires simple sleight of hand.

It is a very well executed performance. This precision made trick baffled me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAVID!

I have one that uses the same method from Magic Hands of Germany. I wonder who invented this principle. The trick is a good one but cannot be repeated. Also, some Smart Alec may not put the object inside the container. I have not tried the trick yet because I have not found a suitable presentation.

Great trick! This is exactly what Henning Nelms in his book Magic and Showmanship wants us to do - make people care. This multiple out routine is much more interesting than when performed with ESP chips. Thanks for sharing, Victor.
