Tenyo tricks with locking mechanism

Post by kellebotond » Mon Mar 31, 2014 4:38 pm

I was thinking about locking systems in various Tenyo tricks. Lot of tricks have various mechanisms to let the spectators examine the props after the tricks. These are the ones that came to my mind first:

Soft Coins
X-Ray File
Crystal Cleaver
Prison Box

What other Tenyo tricks have this kind of mechanism?
Tenyo Rocks!!! :–)

I am new to this particular forum but these appear to be public threads. It is not appropriate to discuss the mechanics of these tricks publicly, particularly without express permission from Tenyo.
First impressions count, don't mess yours up.

Lüf, welcome to the forum :) I understand your concern about revealing secrets, and I agree we tend to be a bit liberal here. However, it speaks for itself we try to avoid exposing secrets, especially in the public areas of the forum, and in my opinion saying that there 'is' a locking mechanism is different from revealing what the locking system is or does.

In this case, there is no information of what this locking system is, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Furthermore, we are all Tenyo and magic collectors here. It is hard or even impossible to discuss tricks without occasionaly mentioning a litle 'thing' here and there, and that shouldn't be a problem. I don't think Tenyo minds what we write here, especially when you read there 'hot tips' section on their website (http://www.tenyo.co.jp/magic_en/alllist/index.html). Often these discriptions also mention a 'movable gimmick' or you can even easily find out how an item works by just reading these discriptions.

I would add Infinitum and Super Phanto Block.
Both of those stump spectators completely.

Another one I have is the Disney Light up Mickey:

The locking Mechanism is nicely camouflaged on that one.
