Very nice indeed! A excellent Tenyo-like twist to the standard Coin Thru Match. I have to admit I am stumped as well.

The Tenyo Magic Blog has a pretty cool routine from Tomoyuki Shimomura.

I like the idea of using Mobile Illusion together with Card Surgery. I would keep the card surgery dish set up on my lap. I would then take a card, cut it in half and restore it with mobile illusion. Then take the same card, cut it in four and pretend to put it in the dish on my lap. Then bring out ...

So I had a chance to try out the Vanishing Point+Magic Pop Up combo on a couple of people today and I have to say it went rather well. They were pretty amazed. Only after doing it I was thinking if there would be a way to make more of a connection between the envelope and the Vanishing Point. At fir...

It would be $65 when ordered from Japan. Buying it in the US would of course cost more of course.
You can probably get it shipped from Japan to the UK for around the same or a little more.

Last year is was possible to order all 4 tricks straight from Japan for $60 shipped to USA. The retail prices are similar this year (only 200 yen more) so I assume it would be possible to get them for $60-$65 if you are OK with the Japanese versions. As far as MRI is concerned I still think there is...

If you add up the numbers of the six dice and then add up the numbers on the opposite sides of the dice, it will always equal 42. It is in the flash dice instructions. It sounds like you have a list of males with numbers next to them and a list of females with matching numbers next to them (The numb...

Any other ideas or suggestions? I've sent a pm to Mr. Bloom and will post his routine (if he's ok with that) as soon as he has replied.

Anyone know if they make a small version of Boggle?
You could use the dice to spell words or someone's name.

I don't have the Flash Dice tutorial with me so I can't compare to Tenyo's routines. The Tenyo instructions have the exact same routines. It is interesting to note that the 2 versions of flash dice pictured above have two different instructions. The original version has the somewhat badly translate...

My favorite routine for this is the "Magical Gesture Idea" on the Tenyo tips page: http://www.tenyo.co.jp/magic_en/tips/tip01.html#Anchor03 I always found this to be a very magical way of changing the dice to a specific number. Although I just use one of the dice included and I usually just use the ...

I have one of these. It is the classic Coin Squeeze penetration trick. While there are some similarities in its workings, I would say Tenyo's Silver Express is more comparable to the classic Flying Coins trick. Tenyo's Silver Express has two plastic caps that are not connected in any way. The coins ...

Not sure if this really works for me but I guess it is an interesting combo.

I know someone who may be going to Japan in the next couple of weeks. Hoping she will pick them up for me so I can avoid any shipping costs.
Except for Flash Cash which it looks like I'll have to buy local to get the dollar gimmick.

The gimmick blends in very nicely into the picture and is not easy to see in my opinion.
The truth is everyone really guesses how it works. That's why they are so surprised when you take out the picture and hand to them.

I find this trick gets pretty good reactions especially from kids who relate to the Pinocchio Character (Japanese version of course). No one I have tried this on has figured out how it works. The way I usually present it is I take out the red bag and tell everyone that inside I have a lie detector. ...

Well they don't do fire but at least you get to play with lots of matches. :) Here are my first thoughts on the 2014 tricks: Ghost Card-looks like it could be lots of fun to do. Looks like it may get similar reactions to what I get with BioShock which range from "Ewww gross" to "Meh". Hopefully this...

MRI is definitely the most mysterious.
I agree the case pushing the cards in Ghost Card make it look pretty gimmicky but it still might play well.
Especially if the spectator chooses the cards. Same thing for 4D printer. I definitely need to see some full videos before I make a decision on them.

Sounds good to me!

By the way, his children are in their forties. Just kidding.

John, my kids are already growing WAY to fast for me. I don't think they need any additional help!
Although you never know we may still be doing this with I spy Tenyo #486

Thanks Simon for the contest. My kids and I had loads of fun poring over the picture trying to finds these things. It became a great family project. :) We managed to find 29 of 'em but I submitted a bunch more that sorta looked like Tenyos not realizing points would be taken off for incorrect guesse...

From the looks of it the Paper to Money looks like it is currency specific being that they are selling two different versions of it. I do hope they are planning to make a dollar version of this as well. It would seem a little odd doing it with Yen over here and besides the price for it would come ou...

Actually, if I remember correctly there was a divider in the envelope which sort of split the envelope into two compartments That way you were able to show the envelope empty at the end of the trick.

The longer one does have the same pattern. However it came tossed in a lot of old 70s' magic tricks and is missing any packaging, instructions, etc. so I don't think there is really any way to tell.
Would have been nice if Tenyo had put their logo on this one.

Sorry, I am still missing Mystic Ruby so i can't help you there. I have a very similar issue with AstroTube. I have an Astrotube with packaging and I received a loose item that looks exactly like AstroTube except that it is a little longer. I have no idea if it is another variation that Tenyo made o...

If you are taking requests, I would like to see a nice performance of Lucifer's Lock.

Crystal Cleaver was one of my first items as well only I bought the cheapo copy of it first. It worked great for about 3 times before the lock broke and the gimmick would not stay in place anymore. Needless to say i went back online to buy the Tenyo version. I forget ,did Coin of Dracula also use 5 ...
