A humorous and absurd Tenyo performance

[David (Felderswynne)]

Because Tenyo effects are built small and there are so many variations on standard effects, one might be able to work up a vignette such as "performing three Trisectors", (a chorus of Trisectors) Of course, there could be a vignette titled "4 zig zags in three acts" with the magician frantically searching for something new to zig zag.

There was a great video put up by bobd I think by an act called the napoleons, they did as many tricks in 5mins as they could and a lot of them were tenyo. I'm sure if you use the search tool on the forum you'll find it, try typing 'Napoleons'

Simon, what David is talking about is the same trick multiple times. That I have never seen.

Here is the thread you mention above:

And here are videos of the performers you mention above:

Ahh I see. How's this... You perform trisector, money shredder, knife of the ninja, mirage, origami tube (or any 5 Tenyo's that use bills) but each time actually destroy the bill in each manner (some tricks this may be easier with) get your Sellotape out and badly repair your dollars , some bits upside down etc. at this point you look like the worlds worst magician. You say 'fortunately there's one trick I CAN do' At this point you perform money shock, but rigged to 'mend' all your bills. You then have the choice to oerform the original tricks properly.
Practice makes perfect!

I really had a great laugh watching the video of the Napoleons, thank you.
