Opinions/Reviews

Post by Jaime C. » Mon Dec 02, 2013 5:42 pm

Hi Guys!

Please share me your opinions/reviews with these 3 discontinued Tenyo tricks:

- Prison Box
- Escape King
- Mobile Illusion

Are they great in close up performing and no angle problems?

Many thanks.

Mobile illusion is absolutely clean in performance.

Prison box ... you have to hide it for a moment, to do the 'thing', but can be handed out for inspection!

Escape king I don't own...

Others can think otherwise of course ;-)

Hi Kabayan!

Prison Box is a must have trick. It is mystifying, easy to do, and can be performed surrounded.

Mobile Illusion is another excellent Tenyo piece. Get this one if you possibly can. It has no angle problem.

Escape King - save your money unless you want to complete the T-Series.

Mobile Illusion is one of my favorites. There are no angle problems and no funny moves. It is extremely easy to do and fools everyone.

Prison Box is also great. The Tenyo website has a tip on how to do this without any cover but it will take a lot of practice. It is also pretty examinable.

I kind of like Escape King as well. I think the gimmick is very clever and it is also completely examinable. Although I have to admit it does not usually get such a great response from spectators (at least when I do it).

I'm going to start a new poll for Prison Box and Escape King the following weeks. Both are very interesting effects and while Prison Box is the better of the two I think Escape King also has its place and time to perform.
Mobile Illusion is great and becoming hard to find - get one FAST if you see it for a reasonable buy-it-now price :!:
I don't want to hijack this thread but I'd like to buy a BNIP spare Escape King by the way - if anyone has one let me know :)

Thanks all for the informative replies.
Hoping to hear some more.

Killertweety - if you found BNIP Escape King throw me your old one :)
BobD (Kabayan) - Budget is not deep to collect all the T-series. So i just try to get only the best one.
Rob Rand - Hurry up before David finds it off :lol:

I am not after the BNIP 'coz they are quite expensive now for me. I'll be happy if i find an affordable used one. Thanks.
