It looks to be the same as the one I have in my Tenyo Collection. It was probably made by Mikame. I don't think there is anyway of determining the age especially since you do not have a box or instructions. I can tell that mine was made and sold recently because of the type of box it is in plus the logo and label. I do not have instructions for mine.

That would have been cool if we both used the same card in our picture.

I would guess that mine was made in the 2000's. Yours could be older. One of the Mikame collectors can maybe help out. I think we have at least one here.

Yes so simple that I love it. It is a very smart design. I thought it would be more complicated when I bought it but it does not have to be.

That's great, I think it would retail for around $100. I got a really good deal on mine too.

Hello Guys,

I think it is the same trick as this (made by Vinchenso di Fatta, Italy). Here you can see me and my wife performing this few years ago:

Tenyo Rocks!!! :–)
