Am I the only one having (a lot of) difficulties getting the card out afterwards?

I use the middle finger of the hand holding it to ever so slightly push the back in before I tap it out. If that doesn't work I throw it across the room.
Now you see me...

Yes, like Simon said you need to push the back in a. I believe the Magic Works instructions mention this explicitly but for some reason the Tenyo instructions only mention it when putting in the card.

Hi All, I have a question about Illusionarium. I am trying to determine if the copy I have is a Tenyo original or if it is a Milton Bradley remake. My copy appears to have no back, in other words the side walls just end and the back has no frame or anything. My copy does have a copyright stamp saying Tenyo, and came with the Queen Of Hearts playing card. Unfortunately when I came into possession of it there was no packaging or instructions. I could upload a photo of the back but don’t want to reveal the secret. Any help or suggestions as to how I can identify it’s maker?

I may have just answered my own question. My copy appears to be a Milton Bradley copy. In the inside back it says “Created by Tenyo. Japan C 1995 M.B. CO. - Made in USA”

The Milton Bradley version is "taller" than the Tenyo version.

Thanks for the information John! Yeah, I’m positive my version is the Milton Bradley version.
