Re: The Last Piece to the Puzzle

I've check all the Spring Flowers I got from the estate but none of them matches yours. The ones you have are rare indeed.

Re: The Last Piece to the Puzzle

Thanks, John.

I have several kinds of spring flowers that I've bought from the estate of a magician who has many Tenyo items. They are probably made by Tenyo too. I will post pictures of them when when I find them.

Re: New collector!

Welcome, John P!

I started to collect Tenyo in January last year and purchased a lot of overpriced pieces. Had this forum began earlier I could have saved myself a lot of money.

You will find in the Members Only Section of this forum some dealers with amazingly low priced items.

Re: My problem with Tenyo Lancelot

I dont own lancelot though I would love to. I can possibly make replacement parts, it depends on what they are. If you let me know what the cellophane part is it sounds like I could probably laser it. I will send you a picture of Lancelot within the week. Let me know if you can make a wooden versio...

Re: Santa Claus came late but good

Congratulations, Per-Aage! And you have a very nice collection too. Now I understand why packaging really counts. There is a wonderful feeling that I cannot explain when I look at Tenyo pieces in English packaging.

My problem with Tenyo Lancelot

I like Lancelot because the method is different. The best handling of this trick that I have seen so far is by our very own member, Roberto B aka Magic Patagonia. His presentation in YouTube baffled me even if I know the original method. I could have never guessed his secret had he not explained it....

Re: Magic Wagon Ultimate Penetration Frame

I was not impressed at all and did not buy it ... . As said before the sides of the panel are way too big for the illusion to be convincing, it is indeed pretty clear how it works (WW / Soft Coins or perhaps a variation on their Impossible Glass penetration but I doubt that). The whole thing looks ...

Re: MAGIC WAGON

I have this trick but have not used it for the same reason as yours. It is a nice trick though. I have never thought of using it for another effect because I think that the routine that comes with it is the best presentation possible. But now that you've mentioned it, maybe it can be used for shorte...

Re: Do you perform Confined Cubes regularly?

Hi Rob, Good, that's one less prop to carry. If you have been doing this trick regularly using sleight of hand then you have developed the confidence needed to perform it. Confidence can be gained by constant practice and more so by actual performance. In your case, having performed the trick severa...

Re: Conundrum like Tenyo's Ghost Puzzle

The principle of this trick is explained in Martin Gardner’s book, Mathematics, Magic, and Mysteries. When I was a teenager I read in a magic catalog about a similar trick where the head of George Washington disappears from a dollar bill. I made up my own version using Philippine currency but have l...

Do you perform Confined Cubes regularly?

I consider Confined Cubes as one of Tenyo's best tricks. The method is a new principle in magic and extremely brilliant. It is a discontinued item and may be hard to find soon. If you don't have it yet, get one now. Most of us who have it do not perform this trick regularly because it requires sleig...

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

It is a very clever trick. I have to watch it several times to know how it works. But I don't think that laymen will be impressed by this because they can clearly see the sliding panel. They do not analyze the trick the way we do and just assume that the change is caused by the sliding panel. Maybe ...
