Re: 5221??

Of the 6 outs only two are "high" cards.
The cut is made at the long ends. (with a "crab hand" as an example)

Re: Tenyo Sea Monkeys!

Thanks for posting Richard. Is this the "Sea Monkey" of 1971? (see below)

1970 May Company name changed to Tenyo Co., Ltd.
1971 May "Sea Monkey" released, a novel pet that is born when the egg is placed in water.

Re: 5221??

Anyone got this trick? It looks very powerful, I'm just looking for some reviews. My only guess so far is that when the spectator cuts and holds the packet, the performer has four possible 'outs' (top and bottom of tabled half, top and bottom of held half) after they've named their card you decide ...

Re: T-243 4-D Surprise

Great, illusion, I gave 4D Surprise a 10.
To me, it is one of the very best Tenyo effects.
I have never felt that I am obligated to offer a magic trick for examination.
I MAY leave one that is "clean" (accidentally) laying around, but it would probably be a closer.

Re: Storage boxes

I didn't know that Tenyo collectors were allowed to be neat, or organized.

I keep all my Tenyo's in a gigantic bag.
Once in a while, I get on a stepladder, reach into the bag a pull one out.

I learned this organizational method from Santa Claus!

Re: Tenyo - Mickey`s Magic Shop

Maybe the puzzle should be shipped with one missing piece.
Then, when it gets to the point of needing the missing piece, you realize that it is a miniature picture of the Tenyo "Magic Coaster." Then, you wake up!
