Wonder Window,glass board or Mystery Triangle?

[gazpratley]

Hey guys I just wondered what everybodys most favourite penetration frame is? my personal fave is Wonder window,i personally adore this trick,and have shown it to a few people and no one manged to figure it out! I think its quite underated in my opinion. Glass board is great too,but I find mystery triangle a bit finicky and not big enough,what are your views? Gaz.

Wonder window is my favourite.....but I don't think that it is a fooler.

Mystery Triangle. I first perform Glass Board and most people know how it works. Then Mystery Triangle and BAM

I like mystery triangle. it reminds me if a lovely birthday in London, mrs craze bought me a light sabre and a pizza and I went to davenports and bought MT. I had that lovely moment when I first found the switch and heard that satisfying soft click. it looks really cool too

[JohnM]

I like how Mystery Triangle locks. Very clever.

[SimonC]

yep, classic tenyo

Mine is Ultimate Penetration Frame by Magic Wagon

Does this Mystery Triangle will be the next Wonder Window in the future sought after and costly?

I have only one piece of Mystery Triangle BNIP and haven't open yet (still no idea how it works )

[Rob Rand]

Grab one Jaime now it's still easily available! Yes this could be the next rare Tenyogem! But I'm not the specialist, JohnM knows the answer! And David!

[JohnM]

I just noticed that one sold on Ebay as a Buy It Now for $65. The guy who sold it sells all his Tenyo way above what they go for but he got someone to bite. LINK

Jamie, if I were you I would carefully open and play with all of the Tenyo that you want to try. I don't think it makes sense for you to not open them because you are depriving yourself from enjoying them. If you open them carefully they will still retain more than half of their value.

I really like mystery Triangle- plus it is fully examinable and will amaze those who know about the glass board. Check out the video John and I made.

Mystery Triangle is very easy to open without much damage.

Use a sharp razor knife where indicated in the picture. Move the flap to the right and then slide out the plastic shell.

Hi Jamie,

Seems that you are not really happy just to watch your BNIP Tenyo in your cabinet...remember our last discussion about collector`s behavior ? I think it`s now the perfect time to become another type of collector and your enjoy life. So...what you need to do is prepare a sharp cutter and follow John M advice

Hi Gaz,

I`m still with you and Roberto. Wonder Windows is still my favorite. I`m not only performing penetration effect with the card but we can convince the spectator that the card really melt through on other parts of the window glass. Another good part, it`s examinable.

What I did, during the penetration effect, I move the card 1 cm to the left and show the penetration effect on other part of the glass and show that the middle part is automatically restored. You can repeat it several times at other position. Unfortunately due to the construction of the gimmick we cannot move to the right side of the glass. But I think the illusion is very convincing, similar like the Tenyo Wondering Hole effect. This is only the effect we can do with WW but not with the other props (M.Triangle and G. Board).

That's actually a great idea Victor! Will have to try it out ... .

Sure, you should try it David, the illusion is perfect. From the spectator`s point of view the glass is remain static in the middle (which actually not ) so it`s also important to keep the glass and the gimmick in the perfect condition (without scratch or any other markings) if not you will reveal everything.

Thanks Victor, but that's a bit the problem with Wonder Window isn't it ... after several uses you will have scratches

Unfortunately we are dealing with scratch sensitive material David : Transparent PLASTIC.

[SimonC]

is it possible to take WW apart and replace the plastic with glass?

Not possible.

Here is a different type of glass penetration by the Great Fred Kaps.

[VictorS]

I still have no idea on how he did that BobD. There was one version created by magic wagon, I didn`t like it because the platform was so obvious but this one was much much better, even you can write the number on the glass. Very2 convincing.

[Rob Rand]

This is great, this is amazing, and all in Dutch language which I happen to understand !

I believe the program he performed this was Stuif-es-in!

This surpasses all the other glass penetration tricks, including Magic Wagon!

[David DeTenyo]

Great trick! I happen to own Magic Wagon's Impossible Glass Penetration (http://www.magic-wagon.com/ProductDetail.asp?id=105) - I believe this is the trick you are refering to Victor?

This trick by Kaps must use a different method however ... never seen anything like it. The numbers on the glass are VERY convincing! Don't know how this one works, but it would be fantastic to have a close-up version of this!

No David, the version you showed me looks much better comparing to this one

By the way the version you showed me should be very similar with Fred Kaps one.
