This is the lot lot cheaper version. But that's not my point. They are actually unused kid's magic props, present from someone or old msgic stuff that I never used them anymore for years.The idea came when I read Tenyoism about this great magic set and trying to find out how everything works by watching the demo videos. Very impressive routines indeed ! I can only recommend you. No wonder many of collectors here are aiming for this ultimate magic set.
Fortunately there were many good friends here who helped and inspired me. I am a lucky guy
Cutting short my story, I was be able to collect all props for example a loose tiny cups and balls set from Fantasma magic set, a plastic magic wand which actually a pen and marker, an old Okito box which I found out has a unique lid which could be suitable become a Tokyo coin box, an unused mini Hoyle deck and at last my own flash dice.The project begun by modifying all props for example, the cups and balls become chop cup version, putting a neo magnet to the bottom of the cup and reseal the bottom and spray painted in gold and black color. All pompom balls for the cups were stabbed with metal rod and they became chop cup balls. Paint the magic wand in gold by leaving the white tips. A selfmade case for the card trick and spray painted in gold. The Okito box is still an Okito at the moment and need some modification to become Tokyo box and last but not least, modifying a flash dice become a selfmade Highroller, a "wheelchair" for the Flashdice.
I am quite satisfied with the result although it is not comparible with the quality of original version but I am glad they are still playable. I still have some homeworks to make the gimmick cards, modifiying the coin box and other minor things. But for now, it is something that we can enjoy.
I hope this post may inspire all of us to love our old props and turn something old become something new. I don't really know if my destiny allow me to own the original set but I am still keeping my fingers crossed.
Have a good day everyone !
