Re: Magic Wagon - Brainbow Divination

Agree it is a nice looking piece and the price is reasonable for a MW release. I already have too many of these types of tricks, though.

Lego NES

For anyone who is a fan of the original Nintendo Entertainment System or Lego, this is pretty cool: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/nintendo-entertainment-system-71374 There is a small crank on the side of the TV which creates the illusion of Mario running and jumping just like the game. Looks li...

Re: Tenyo Elite Closes

I don't think this is a big surprise. It was seemingly never run as a proper business, they didn't listen to their customer base, and the quality of some of the items were disappointing. People wanted Crystal Cleaver, what we got in return was Match Sticks. I had to return my Match Sticks due to qua...

Re: Roberto Giobbi - The Art Of Switching Decks

Great idea for a book! One of my favorite Paul Harris card tricks is called Color Stunner. In Art of Astonishment, the set-up is all about a famous deck switch which of course the spectator never sees.

Does anyone here have it? I'd be interested to see the reviews.

Re: T-102 Lucifer's.Lock

Wow- this is lovely! Really beautifully done and lives up to the description on the back of the package!! I especially like the 'convincer' right before the lock comes off, nice adaptation.

Thanks for sharing. This does look pretty cool, and reminds me of Illusion Scale which is one of my favorite Tenyo items.

Re: Mental Numero - Magic Wagon

I suspect the number design is critical to the working. Haven't had much time to think it over, but potentially a partial p***k with the bottom of the numbers?

Re: New tenyo elite

The wooden Match Sticks were a disaster. I ordered and returned them. Match Sticks is a great trick, but it should not be made out of wood. Agree with you Steve, it should have been made out of anodized aluminum.

Re: New tenyo elite

Did anyone ever suggest Space Towers or do the Tenyo Elite team even take any notice of the thread they created on the MC. Tenyo Elite haven't even announced the release on their own thread yet. I like Space Towers but I'm not buying the Elite version. You nailed it. They are not listening. We ask ...

Re: Huitzilopochtli by Thomas Pohle

I think it was around $350. I liked the design of that whole series of Pohl items. He uses a 3-D printer to make them. They were all in the >$250 price range, so I did not buy any of them. I guess if you found it as a great deal, it would make sense for you to get a copy- if you didn't like it, you ...

Now THAT is a cool set of props! Uses clever humor and wild imagination. Looks like a hip Huitzilopochtli. So anyway...anyone else want to criticize Huitzilopochtli? 😂 I am trying my best to no longer buy any magic. It’s time to just say no! Just enjoy what I already have and that’s it. Unless I se...
