Re: Did you saw the new Lubor Fiedler Youtube video?

Has anyone been able to work out the floating object around 4 mins into the video? Would love to see this one released. Some kind of printing or pattern that hides the support for the pencil?

Awesome! Great to hear that they were kind enough to give everyone autographs. I suspect not many famous people will do this today.

His performance made it a bit tougher in that he added the gimmick, whereas he could have started the trick with the gimmick already in place and palmed it away before the end. Thanks for sharing the video- this is the first time I have seen a video for t...

Re: Which Tenyos should you preferably buy brand new?

I had a brand new in package Fadeaway Case that was broken when I opened it. I had to carefully take it apart to fix it. It still isn't perfect.

The new effect by Magic Wagon is available- a cut and restored mummy. http://www.magic-wagon.com/ProductDetail.asp?id=143&pa=9 If it looks good, I usually order right away, but I am on the fence with this one.

Re: Saturday 12/13/14 — Save The Date, Save Your Money

Wow! Great to see the official release! I saw this at John's house a while ago and it is really fantastic. One very nice thing about it is that if the gimmick gets jammed, it can be unscrewed and repaired. The quality of everything is really top notch and the cards look great.
