New Tenyo Elite item?
Re: New Tenyo Elite item?
I love blue crystal, it would be nice to have an enhanced version, with a bit of weight to it and a lock
Now you see me...

Sounds like a good projectSimonC wrote:I love blue crystal, it would be nice to have an enhanced version, with a bit of weight to it and a lock
Any ideas for a clever locking mechanism?
Re: New Tenyo Elite item?
no ideas, how about you just turn it upside down and it has the lenticular sheet just stuck on the surface? can you tell it's a lazy Sunday here in blighty?

The new Tenyo Elite item will not be something new. It will be a remake of an existing Tenyo trick.justme-Rick wrote:Tenyo has always been known as the premier plastics trick maker and I think that anything made of wood won't be a re-make, but something new and different and something to set them apart. Thoughts???
On the Genii Forum, the following comments were posted in regard to the new Tenyo Elite effect:
"Not only is it a rare Tenyo effect, it's a great Tenyo effect."
http://forums.geniimagazine.com/viewtop ... 43#p300633"Provided a wee bit of assistance on this one and agree that Tenyo enthusiasts will be excited about this one! They have announced that the initial run will be 50 and if demand warrants an additional run of 50 may be done."
Tenyo Elite are overdue with their announcement. Someone asked about two weeks ago for a status and there has yet to be a reply.

Re: New Tenyo Elite item?
Ironically (or maybe they are watching us ;–) one of the Tenyo Elite Partners just made a post in reply to the request for status:
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/view ... start=30#1We are now currently in production with the new item, and we should be making the announcement and begin taking orders with in the next few weeks. Yesterday I saw the first one completed off the line and it's beautiful! We anticipate these to sell out very very fast, so be sure to keep an eye out here and be sure to join our mailing list so you are among the first to receive the info and among the first to be able to place an order!

Re: New Tenyo Elite item?
It's true that TENYO has made and remade some of there item in other materials, but it's also true that they are number 1 in plastics. Ask yourself if you were going to change materials wouldn't you also want to make something different not just a remake, I believe I would............
Re: New Tenyo Elite item?
I think I see what you mean rick, instead of existing tricks being made I higher grade materials, they should have a separate, perhaps more expensive line of new effects in these materials, a bit like dynamic coins? I see your thinking, rather than remaking a trick in wood just for the sake of it, making a trick that is designed to be made from wood in the first place, that perhaps wouldn't work in plastic. Interesting. They could almost start a thing like 'Paul Harris Presents" where tenyo put their name to more specialist effects in smaller runs. "Tenyo Spotlight" or something.

Re: New Tenyo Elite item?
I've worked with metals and wood, and most plastic items are made thru injection molds, making plastics the easiest to work with. Metals can be molded, machined, drilled and polished. Woods have a rule of thumb measure twice and cut once because that's what you will live with. If it's made of wood it will need to be a hard wood and that's costly, so it will be an expensive item and that's why I would make something entirely new and it just might be a new line of high end magic.
