A little man - Tenkai Knights

[Rob Rand]

Today I discovered in a toy shop something new, it's called Tenkai Knights.
A block looking like a Lego block, which you can fold out into a little man:

NB the blue block on the right of the normal blue Lego block is the unfolded little man

This gives me great ideas for a magic trick where a little man is concerned, you can for instance change a normal Lego block into a Tenkai block, and when the audience asks Where's the little man you take the block and fold it out (a bit Transformer like). It us a very surprising ending.

But maybe I'm insane and I see Magic in everything

:O that is so cool!! I love transformers and lego,so that's a bit mind blowing
John b told me about a trick called 'little man' it's really cool.

[Rob Rand]

Yes maybe with some electronics involved I could let this little man walk!
I also know about Paul Harris little man, that us a real clever and spooky effect!

But this little man is a bit cheaper, for only 5 Euro you can get one!

This is really cool. With a little bit of effort, this brick little man can be modded to work in the Paul Harris effect.

That`s look really cool Rob. In the transformer movie, there is a scene that they can transform every object like radio, mobile phone, etc, become a robot. Imagine if I perform this in front of my son, I show him the normal lego block, let him examine, I palm the "Tenkai Knights" and do a switch and let him palm the "lego block" and do some alakazammmmm.....this is magic or he will think his dad is really a transformers

Great idea Victor, especially because these little men are 100% compatible with Lego. You can even use the little man as part of a Lego building with the question : inside this house are little men hiding, where are they?

They are even great acrobats!
