Re: Great ideas in the Japanese Mini-Morphosis instructions

I do not know because I do not have the packaging box, just the instructions. Or is there any other way to tell it form the instructions? The front page of the instructions has the same text as can be seen here so I am guessing it is the Tenyo version: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BhKy2D26MLQ/UVcM1pPc1...

Re: Great ideas in the Japanese Mini-Morphosis instructions

As far as I can tell John's idea is different than the one in the Japanese instructions (Because he does not use a curtain for the trick with the coin). I think this is truly a case of independent creation. I think that these ideas are very clever. From Angelo Carbone's reply in the tread John linke...

Re: Halloween 2015

The idea is great with the chocolate.

And the magic box is very nice as well. I have a very similar one. :)

Great ideas in the Japanese Mini-Morphosis instructions

I have just compared the English and the Japanese Instructions of Mini-Morphosis. I do not know if any of you have found this earlier or not, but there are some great additional ideas at the end of the Japanese instructions that are not included in the English version at all. There is an idea using ...

Re: Tenyo licensed products: Magic Christian's Selected Tric

Thanks guys.

There is no date printed on it, but based on the text "Magic Christian 3 times World Champion" they must have been released after 1979 (he won his 3rd FISM award that year).

And if I am not mistaken the "newest" trick is Mystery of the High Hat which was also released in 1979.

Re: Dynamo

John, I think you should not give up on this effect. I really like the idea of using a broshure like this. It looks very innocent and real. Maybe the method should be different or there should be a different out if the spectator selects another bird.

I have finished editing the Dynamo episode of my videoblog.

You can skip my Hungarian introduction and start at 0:38. From that point it is in English.

Re: New Tenyo Elite item is wooden Ultra Tube!

A few of guys posted at the Magic Café, that they have a problem while purchasing this. (They can pay but the item stays in the cart even after that.) Probably just some software bug, just probably good to know if some of you would like to pre order right away.

Re: Scotch releases Art Bank style Magic Tape packaging

Yes, I think it is a nice marketing idea. But I'm not sure if it is a wise idea to package a product like this. Because if someone who does not heard of this marketing campaign would have to buy some tape I think it is very unlikely that he will buy a seemingly empty box. I do not know if you unders...

An idea with Gems and 4D Trunk

A little bit of flashing at several points and a lot of tell sounds, but I like the idea. It could might be combined with Paddle Collection Mistyc Ruby or Superstick as well:

Rob, First let me thank for the instructions you have sent me the other day. Regarding this: I have seen a very bad rip off of this. It simply fell apart. But it was not just not properly glued, but the plastic was very thin and it was a bit hard to "cut" the rope. But the Tenyo version is very smoo...

Re: Clean Cut/magicians rope question

If only the tiny piece of the rope has discoloring, you can easily remove the rope and exchange it with another rope. But you can also buy a new one (or a nice condition used) for a very low price so it might not worth to buy rope for that. John has very nice ideas regarding this effect, including c...
