Re: A sweet video clip - enjoy :)

Your magic website looks great, its got nice selection of tricks too. My only concern is the "free returns" policy of your company. In my opinion the disadvantages of this policy will outweigh its advantages. Returns should only be for defective merchandise.

Re: Received Philatelist Traveler today review soon

Thanks for the review, Rob. Now I can fully appreciate the trick. When I saw the demo video I thought that a certain procedure was left out. The trick is a combination of 5 methods and great thinking. The props looks very nice and the effect is very good. I will be buying this in the near future. Co...

Re: Amazing Magic Videos

Excellent idea, John! This is a great way to showcase our Tenyo pieces. My next project is to build up an eight to ten minute act using as many Tenyo pieces as I can. I do not know who originated this concept but the very first magicians I saw with this type of presentation are The Napoleons. These ...

Re: Collector`s behaviour ?

I started as an "a". To me Tenyo were mostly toys but I buy the tricks that I cannot solve based on their descriptions. I also buy tricks that I can use in my shows. The thought of collecting Tenyo never came into my mind then. Then I became a collector, the "b" type. When my collection was about 80...

Re: New tenyo elite

I got to open my package containing Zig Zag Cig last Friday.The device is shorter, wider, and has smaller windows as compared to the original. All this factors lessened the deceptiveness of the illusion. The object that is zig zaged is dwarfed by the size of the box. The pencil and the aluminum rod ...

Re: T-130 Tricky Business

One of my favourite Tenyo tricks!! Your videos of Tricky Business, Mobile Illusion, and Billscape fooled me. I have about 10 Tenyo tricks before I saw your videos. After watching your videos I wanted to buy these tricks no matter how much they cost. One purchase led to another until I was buying Te...

Re: Magic Cabinet

It's too crowded but but I like it. Now I understand that there are two ways to display Tenyo props, the museum type and the magic store type. Both displays are stress relievers. The colors and design of these pieces are very pleasing to the eyes so that we feel beauty when we see it. Because I have...

Re: The Philatelist Traveler

The props are beautiful. The basic effect and concept are great. However we cannot tell how deceptive the trick is because it is just a trailer. Is this trick designed for magicians or for laymen?

Re: New Video Section Added to the Sister Website

The videos are very nice. I enjoyed your new presentations for the Tenyo tricks.

Credit Card Surprise is one trick that I perform often but I never expected that this trick can be improved this much.

Yes, the box looks great. It is nice to have as a close-up case but unfortunately I have spent all my budget on Tenyo.

Re: Menta Marvel / Occult board routine

The 50/50 chance on the last phase of the routine is the best solution so far for the Mikame Prediction Board. Now I can do the routine without a force, erasures, and without fail. The Mikame version of Mental Epic uses two sliding panels thus improving the odds to 100% on the final prediction. Than...

Re: Tenyo storing problem:(

Hi Siusiuc,

Tenyo is very addicting and now that you have 70 items, this number will soon increase. You can store loose pieces in a ladies make-up case or in cases with foam. See David's website: http://www.tenyo.be/collectors.html

Re: Collectors alert: Zauberbutike's Art Theft Deluxe Editio

Yes, I did but it will take quite a while for the package to arrive.

BTW, I just got to open Simon's Wooden Mirror Mate and the quality is excellent. It is ten times better than the original plastic Tenyo.

Re: Help on vintage magic props

I do not know the method in Excalibur Block and Sword but if it is the same as Anverdi's Enchanted Ring then I think the Samurai Sword Penetration method is different. Watch the tassel and the point of the sword and you will have an idea on how it works.
