Turn Your Tenyo Collection into Oil

Another great reason to collect Tenyo.

Collectors of Milson-Worth, Alan Warner or Magic Wagon can't do this with their props.

Very interesting video with an insight into Japanese ingenuity that we all know of and appreciate.

3D Printers are Amazing!

How cool is this. Imagine the magic props that can be made. Get a 3D printer into the hands of someone like Angelo Carbone or Lubor Fiedler and look out. http://fm.cnbc.com/applications/cnbc.com/resources/img/editorial/2013/06/17/100820464-20130610-0564-164.600x400.jpg?v=1371497991 If you want to ma...

Lost Houdini Spiritualism Scrapbook Discovered in California

I wonder what something like this is worth. I am pretty sure a complete T-Collection would not even cover it.

New Tenyo Magic Website in the Works

I started about a month ago but have not done anything with it in the last week or so. The website came first and the Forum borrowed the design. You can see it at http://www.funstuffonly.com/tenyo Let me know what you think. P.S. I have been so busy setting up this Forum that I have not had time to ...

What stage of Tenyoitis are you at?

TENYOITIS Tenyo Collectors joking call the passion for collecting Tenyo, Tenyoitis. In reality it is more of a real addiction than a joke. Most people who discover Tenyo quickly progress through the various stages of the disease. The transition from stage to stage can be as little as days apart. Ver...

Fortune Sticks

I looked at Fortune Sticks and came up with some short comings. 1. It is very hard to see the gimmick even in a lit room. Angles are important, but in a entirely different way. 2. The symbol are not cohesive. What does an egg, tree, fire, heart, bird, night sky, goblet and eye have in common? Nothin...

Tunnel of Darkness Performance Idea

Sometime when I do a trick I like to undersell it. I learned a nice card trick called Three Card Surprise (World's Best Card Tricks by Bob Longe) that can be done with a regular deck. In the trick you match three cards to the audience members chosen cards using the one ahead principle. In the end yo...

Where's Tenyo Contest Has Begun

SimonC has come up with an amazing "Where's Tenyo" Game. It is so good I think Tenyo should take this idea and make a "Where's Tenyo" jigsaw puzzle. Tenyo enthusiasts and collectors would buy it and it would be a good way to introduce them to their wonderful puzzles. Make sure you make your way over...

I am not sure what the cutoff will be for Charter Members but everyone who has joined to date and will join soon gets that group labe...
