Thanks Roberto - you once performed it too didn't you?

Sawa's sleight of hand is incredible, I had to watch several times before I saw what he did!

I believe I'll order it, a bit of a variation on Tenyo's Squeeze Play I believe.

I wonder if this is old stock that they found or if it will be a new release.

After looking at both videos, the props look to be exactly the same so I am leaning toward thinking that this will be New Old Stock (NOS) for sale.

SEO has it listed now with a big disclaimer.

It is new old stock.

i was completely wrong with how it works, I think it is more similar to Viking's U-235 then to Tenyo's Squeeze Play. Doubting if I should buy one ... .

Roberto's presentation of Checkmate is more baffling than Dr. Sawa's. Viking's U-235 is a very strong effect too. I can duplicate the effect but I am not sure if my method is the same.

I would say that the method is similar (or should I say the same) than Tenyo Impossible Pen.

In my video I have the advantage that I have no live public and I can make as many repetitions as I want until I get the right one ;).......but the real way to perform it is how Dr. Sawa shows in the SEO video.
