Not to derail the thread.

But honest newbie question: how is trap box a 'utility device'?

Re: Crash Dice...Dice

Awesome! That's great that it takes standard dice!

I will let you know when I get it. But it will be a bit after I sell my old uniforms In October as I'll be getting a few other tenyo at the same time

Re: What Tenyo should I get next?

Also, what is your budget like? I know you're going after Mini-Morphosis, but I don't want to look like a doofus and suggest anything out of range I do have the Crystal Pyramid already.

Re: What Tenyo should I get next?

If you want a trick with an amazing gimmick like Crystal Cleaver, go after Crystal Pyramid or Magic Works: Coin In The Crypt It's the only gimmick I know of that's more amazing than the trick itself Also, what is your budget like?

Crash Dice...Dice

One of the tricks I'm heavily looking into now is Crash Dice. I have one question. The red die that comes with the trick to change the color; what size is it? I'm guessing it's a 16mm die. I don't have the trick as of yet, but I want to make sure I have a hearty supply of giveaway blue dice before I...

Re: FSO on youtube

Man, that guy is enthusiastic about FSO.

That enthusiasm is always welcome in my book.

Considering the kerfuffle we had on the Genii forums; Bob's video is a HUGE boost in the other direction.

This would be one of those 'light up a cigar' moments for John

Re: T-161 Parabox

Maybe it was Brett H who is trying to buy a Parabox. Clever strategy to drive the price down. ;) I wish that my opinion could make things affordable. I gave the thing a 9 as I think it's a monster of a trick when performed correctly--but you can't hand out the boxes. I'm still amazed seeing it done...

Re: First Information about the 2015 Tenyo Tricks

I saw that description for Magic Butterfly and politely ignored it.

I would also be upset if a force is used. It has to be more clever than that

Would you buy....AFTER knowing the secret?

It's no secret that there are Tenyo out there that we can only wish to obtain. There are also some tricks that are so mystifying and neat that we just WANT to know the secret, but may be a wee out of our price range. Which brings up an interesting question: If you were let in on the secret of a part...

Re: T-205 Confined Cubes

I had an idea for a routine with Confined Cubes which used the black tube as a cup and the cubes as ice cubes. I thought it was relatively solid, and then I see Simon's metaphorical routine: In life there are always positives and negatives, the green block represents the good in your life and the re...

Every time I bid on Coin In The Crypt; it goes for $30-$45

Every time I don't; $15-$20

Just missed one for $20 a couple days ago in favor of getting a Clean Cut

Welcome to the forums.

I have to ask, since Tenyo has a very broad range of trick types:

What is your favorite Tenyo thus far?

Re: First Information about the 2015 Tenyo Tricks

My guess is it is a card force. It may come with the different color butterflies so you can load whichever color you feel like using for the performance. Then it will just be show the box empty and the gimmick makes the butterfly appear. I just recently became interested and magic and only found ou...

Re: First Information about the 2015 Tenyo Tricks

As much as forced card would explain the trick; I'm thinking of Trisector and Crystal Pyramid and thinking that Tenyo would NOT take the easy route on something like this. Run with me. The bottom half of the box and the empty butterfly case. NOT Gimmicked. The top half has ONE butterfly (a gimmicked...

Re: First Information about the 2015 Tenyo Tricks

I would actually be surprised if a force was needed for the butterfly effect. It is gimmicked, and no gimmick is necessary if you force a card. In any case if you do need to force a card and the outcome of the trick would alays be the same it would be one of the most stupid tricks ever created by T...

Re: First Information about the 2015 Tenyo Tricks

I read somewhere that the box is presented as empty.

I do hope the 'pin' is just for aesthetic and not a part of the gimmick (so I can NOT use the pin). Otherwise, I'm only getting one for my daughter.

Re: Silence

I just want to say that I completely took the box-changing effect for granted. I figured the box going from blue-to-red and vice-versa was visual enough that it didn't need to be stated.

Some tricks need patter to work. Others can work without saying a word.

What Tenyo do you think can perform successfully and not awkward without saying a word?

Off the top of my head, I think Burglar Ball & Parabox can be performed this way.

Any ideas?
