Re: Wonder Window,glass board or Mystery Triangle?

I really like mystery Triangle- plus it is fully examinable and will amaze those who know about the glass board. Check out the video John and I made.

I ordered this one. Agreed that it is nice to see something other than a dice effect. It looks beautiful!

Re: Tenyo Special 2014

Yes, it would be a cool method to mark the back of cards. You could see the markings from pretty far away I would think.

Re: Tenyo Special 2014

Maybe the markings require you to cross your eyes (like those 3-D image posters years ago)?

Re: New Video Section Added to the Sister Website

Thanks for the feedback guys! John and I have met a bunch of times to discuss new routines and brainstorm alternate performances. With Credit Surprise, it was inspired by Card Surgery, and we thought it would be cool to do this with a business card- to both tear a card and restore it by magic. I lik...

Re: Magic Wagon Ghost Board

The problem I have with the Ghost board is writing on the back after asking the thought of item. Seems awkward. I agree with John M. that the white board is out of place with the nice wooden frame.

Re: Magic Wagon Ghost Board

Another good example is Ultimate ZIg Zag Card which is much more complex in the mechanics than most of the releases from the last year.......but the cost of it was just about USD 100.- I have been looking for this for over a year. Exactly one came up for sale and sold within 10 mins of being listed...

Re: Tenyo storing problem:(

I think I am in the running for the worst display- stuff in boxes and bags, not organized in any logical fashion.

I have been to John M's house and his collection is presented beautifully. Someday I hope to have a nice display.

Tenyo- General Plastic Repairs

All, Apologies if this has been posted before. I just repaired a see thru guillotine yesterday that had some cracked plastic at the bottom. Instead of using glue, I used simple acetone (nail polish remover). I dipped a Q-tip into the acetone and ran it along both surfaces of the crack. It worked rea...

This is the same for me. My Magic Works version can be triggered without locking if you press very lightly.
