What's your next Tenyo purchase?
Re: What's your next Tenyo purchase?
I just bought future puzzle this week (13 quid, not bad!) it's a nicely made trick (with a bit of arts and crafts which is great news for me
I got it to see if I could do it in wood. the pieces obviously will be easy but I'm trying to think of a smaller way to store/stash the pieces. I thought of a force bag at one point where they pick out the pieces one at a time. you would palm the pieces under the table and hold them at the edge of the bag as the spectator picks them. once the first 4 indifferent pieces are picked you release the last two for them to pick. It doesn't even need to be a force bag. you bring the bag out and shake it to show it has pieces inside, place it on the table and begin the card selection. if you do the invisible deck selection, you can whittle it down to picture cards, then ask them to select a suit first and then a face, this will buy you a bit of time to stash the two required pieces (perhaps tacked to the edge of your table?) this way the bag is in view the whole time and the bag is FULLY examinable at the end!

Now you see me...

Indeed! I got a Super Cubio last year from him. I'm going over the 'magic fund' and seeing if I can get it soon.gazpratley wrote:Brett Botond had a big mac cubio for sale, im sure he would do you a great deal,hes a top bloke!
Where's my colon?!
Re: What's your next Tenyo purchase?
That is a great idea. Have it in a matchbox and it'd be great for impromptu bar magic. Go big with a well done trick wood box would make it a sturdy conversation piece for a living room tableSimonC wrote:or use a matchbox, even smaller!

Re: What's your next Tenyo purchase?
yeah I've been thinking about it all day and the bag idea would be a bit clunky. I'm definitely going to remake myself the box in wood. maybe even the pieces. like you say it'll be a bit sturdier
Now you see me...

How about inserting/installing a "magnetic " strip on one side of the wooden box? The pieces could now be "shimmed" so as to "cling" to the side until needed.
and now, on with the show ...
Re: What's your next Tenyo purchase?
the thought had crossed my mind! you can get magnetic paper which laser cuts nicely too
Now you see me...
Re: What's your next Tenyo purchase?
Okay... topic related...
My next purchase will be...,...,...
Mystery China Box!!
I have a seller who is holding it for me (brand new, in sealed box!!).
Expensive... but hopefully worth the wait.
Oh yeah... also, Money Shredder and Twister.

You'll absolutely LOVE Twister IF you have no idea how it works. This was one of the few occasions in the past I really got a HUGE smile on my face when I knew how it worked - so darn clever!
Mystery China Box is, of course, another great piece of micro magic gimmickery, but handle it with care. Especially the locking mechanism can move too 'freely' over time ... . Only 'engage' it when you really feel the need to let someone examine it. If not, leave it in the open position and don't use it

Re: What's your next Tenyo purchase?
Nice catch Evan ! Beside the props with clever mechanism as David mentioned, I love also the Mystic Blackboard. Tenyo changed the old well known principle and cleverly modified to become typical Tenyo prop. I suggest you make guesses on how all props work before you read the instructions and see how close you are Have fun!
Re: What's your next Tenyo purchase?
I am still looking for the small english boxed T-33 Coin and Glass if anyone has or sees one.
