Tenyo Magic Forum

I saw John this weekend and received a copy of this fine trick from John- it is awesome. It is great to have this on durable plastic cards and the backs of the cards are exceptionally well done!

Highly recommended!

Finally got around to checking out the new line- activities with moving into a new home have kept me busy! I have the original Ali Bongo's thru the Looking Glass, so I was very eager to see what Tenyo did with it. This is also among my favorite effects. The locking mechanism in the Tenyo version is ...

I bet Simon could make a great version suitable for up-close without sloppy shells!

Thanks John for building such a great website!!

Great effect! Couldn't agree with you more Simon- I had never seen this exact principle before either. Richard and I thought it would be cool to make a version in metal out of old looking skeleton keys.

I was originally very interested in this mini Magic Wagon version until I saw a photo of the cubes with the gimmick- I was very disappointed as the quality was really poor and it was obvious that there was a big gap between the cube and the s****.

John, this is way too good to shelve for the time being. What if you have two brochures, one that the spectator sees and one that you hold. You could open your brochure, and it could block where you are looking. Or you could hold your brochure and look away and ask the questions. The brochure is bri...

Awesome work John! I am looking forward to this years tricks more than any other year. Very intrigued by the butterfly and Lubor's effect. I have an original version of Ali Bongo's Thru the Looking Glass when this was produced by Tannen's back in the 1980s. I am looking forward to seeing Tenyo's imp...

There must be a history of these card designs written out somewhere.

Simon, nice job on the Leg go round!

The lego magician is great- really liked the part where he smashes the tennis ball into lego pieces.

This is really cool. With a little bit of effort, this brick little man can be modded to work in the Paul Harris effect.

Welcome! I also live in NJ.

Very sad to hear this.

I think his total budget is $150. If I am correct then I suggest at this stage of Tenyoitis to go for as many good ones as you can get for the money. Loose ones are half the price of packaged ones. We all started out this way with the loose ones and then got crazy with the expensive ones and the se...

Great videos!

Talking about white and black dice, this reminds me again to the effect I submitted to Tenyo few months ago....The Mystic Dice. Although I was rejected, it was a cool experience to get in touch with development team ;) http://www.funstuffonly.com/tenyoforum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=672#p6451 This is re...

FInal Penetration by Mikame is my favorite of this type. No palming and completely examinable at the end of the effect!

Jason Clarke would may have been a better casting choice on looks alone, although Adrien Brody is an excellent actor. Looking forward to seeing this!

Beautiful presentation and very clever! This guys thinks way outside the box.

Looking at this aesthetically, I have a couple of comments. Instead of doing the four elements I would have done four metals, gold, silver, bronze, copper. Even if it cost more it would be something that would be more beautiful and more desirable. Brilliant! I passed on this one, and after reading ...

Sounds like a good project

Any ideas for a clever locking mechanism?

I watched a video by T E showing ther new elite items moon spinner,fortune sticks,blue crystal,softcoins,must be a while ago,so blue crystal and soft coins must of been prototypes I really like Blue Crystal a lot, but it seems they abandoned that one which is really too bad. I would have liked to h...

I was thinking it would be cool if the butterfly had 2 different colors on each side and there is a mechanism to flip the butterfly over while it is inside the closed box.

I would like to see what the gimmick looks like (and the arrangement of the *******).

Alchemy O.M. reminds me of Squeeze play ... but I could be totally wrong

That's exactly what I thought as well!

These all look very interesting to me!
