And you can chew the gum afterward!

Simon, you could try setting up a VPN that routes through the US and then try watching it. That should work.

It might be blocked in the UK. The BBC's video player is blocked in the United States.

The method of using a window card and glide was created by Brother John Hamman in the 1960s and sold as a packet trick. Can't recall the name.

Just checked it: it's the correct link and the show is 54 minutes long.

A friend in Japan sent me this link to a video of Jindai Nishikawa, who is Tenyo's best-selling demonstrator. He works at the Tokyu Hands store in Nagoya. His part of the program, which lasts over 10 minutes, starts at 22:30. There's a commercial in the middle, but don't stop watching. http://video....

Without all the pieces? That's a pity. The book is a work of brilliance.

The auction is missing half the prop. It seems perfectly natural that Chu's would just paste their own label over Tenyo's on the box.

It's called a "China Marker" and can be found here:

The visible change inside the tube is in the original instructions.

Why are you guys judging the tricks before you've even seen clear photos of them, or adequate explanations of the effects? Personally, I would wait until September when the videos of the demonstrations at the Tenyo Festival appear on the internet before passing judgment.

For example, the specimen case made for "Magic Butterfly" is a utility item because it can switch many different things, as Simon has so beautifully demonstrated with his compass version.

"Utility Item" has a wider definition in that while a particular prop may be designed to do only one trick, it in fact can be used for many other tricks.

I know you can do it, Simon!

Magic Painting is a juvenile trick, best done for kids. Magic Memo Pad is an excellent trick, and the gimmick is sized exactly for the pad that is supplied. The difficult in doing it comes because the pad tends to buckle between your thumb and fingers squeezing opposite sides while the same hand wor...

That's a BIG chair!

Crystal Cleaver!

It's not just a "similar" trick AlexBrazil: it's a copy of Tenyo's original "Super Coin in Nest" made by Eddy's magic in China. Eddy manufactured the two sets for Criss Angel. They're excellent magic sets, as long as you don't mind supporting folks who steal ideas from Tenyo.

Everyone can protest against the theft of Tenyo's intellectual property by not buying copies of Tenyo items.

If you don't already have Tenyo's Coin through Match, then you should keep it. It's something you will perform regularly, and it locks and can be examined.

I think that inside the second puzzle box you should put a beautiful wooden version of Color Vision. It's a great trick, and there are many ways to do it without the box ever going out of sight.

It's so pretty that it doesn't need to be opened.

Watch it carefully: I think there's an edit in there when his hands wave over the top of the pen.

It's not fragile. The metal block with the hole in it can be examined afterward.

Mira Metal is actually a fine trick. Works well and fools people. There's nothing spectacular about the method, bit it does play exactly as advertised.
