Re: Mini Tangram Paradox

Nice work Victor! So, I am assuming that there are 3 versions/methods. First, the standard method where you simply move the blocks around such as the Chocolate Bar and most others. Then, there is the Tenyo version which has a special frame. Finally, a third method like the one Rob just bought where ...

Re: Mini Tangram Paradox

So Rob...if you don’t mind me asking, why is the stock photo in the ad which you posted at first a better variety of woods than what you received? I know each set can’t possibly be identical due to the nature of wood but, your set has serious contrast in wood that stands out like a sore thumb. It is...

Re: Mini Tangram Paradox

Thanks for the review Rob!

I would buy it in a heartbeat if it wasn’t so darn expensive. Like $50 seems fair for it.

Welcome to the expensive 21st century...

Re: Mini Tangram Paradox

Nice collection of those Victor!

I always liked that puzzle but never focused on a collection of them. I do have the Tenyo version and the chocolate bar.

Re: Mini Tangram Paradox

It appears to be for sale all over the place for the same $100 price.

That seems to be quite expensive for such a tiny puzzle.

Re: Forget me not coin

I just love Victors videos. Always a pleasure and surprised. Like the coin was gone in a flash great stuff. From the title to the end a quality video each time. I'll be waiting with anticipation for the next one. Popcorn Richard: Is that popcorn plain or buttered? Salted or unsalted? Please advise ...

Nice work Victor! When you lit the flash paper and the coin was gone, it took me by surprise.

A well thought out excellent complete routine for that special coin!

Re: The Stones of Khufu - Magic Wagon

Are we sure that 75 were produced? I was thinking 50, not 75. In any case, I am quite surprised that these are lingering on. Perhaps summer vacation cost and other concerns are causing the lack of interest. I agree that those disappointed with past MW purchases as well as the angle concern (which is...

Re: T-135 Space Towers

The two tubes themselves along with the graphics on the front of the package reminds me of the two World Trade Center buildings which stood in NYC. Whether or not Sugawara had them in mind when he designed the tubes we don’t know. I don’t see it mentioned in Tenyoism. In any case, I like this Tenyo ...

Re: T-236 Vanishing Point

I do like this one but can’t say that I love it. Not one of my favorites but very clever and unique.

Using it in combination with 4-Dimensional Trunk is a great idea IMHO and I highly recommend it!

It’s less expensive than The Enchanted Ring was and you don’t need an Urgent Care Center unless you swallow it.

Are you saying that you never liked anything that MW ever put out?

Oh wait! Perhaps you are just looking for some verbal volleying. :roll:

Enchanted Rings was on ebay for $175 ( half of the new price ) and could not be sold !
The offer has been renewed again, if anyone can warm up for it, it would be a good buy
That is a bargain, especially if the price includes a prepaid visit to an Urgent Care Center. :D

Re: The Enchanted Rings - Magic Wagon

So, I was just practicing The Enchanted Rings and was about to push the rod through the box when the rod went awry.

Does anyone know if Urgent Care Centers are usually open 24 hours?

Just kidding... :D

That demo is actually poor. Usually, they do a good demo of their releases but this one seems tentative (not masterful) and shaky.

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. I am certainly not an expert on how they decid...

There is a World’s Greatest Magic item which is the CARD LASSO effect. That is, finding a selected card. Yet another card location trick!
