Re: Is this trick available?

What's the shipping cost for that Squeeze Play that's for sale? I may have to break down and get another set because I found some wooden coasters at Walmart for only 63 cents; and when I tried to do it, the squeeze effect was very weak. I wish Tenyo wouldn't discontinue perfectly good tricks. Squee...

Re: This one baffled me...

I just opened my Needle Through Ribbon and I am very pleased with it as well! First, I was happy to see that it is somewhat smaller than I expected. I think of it as one of those tricks which appears to be more expensive than it is. By the way, it is indeed made in India. For those who find changes...

I have seen this before! In fact I saw a vintage version for sale in an EBay auction. It uses the same principle, see this link here https://www.ebay.ca/itm/172458174033 If you look closely at the pictures you should be able to figure out how the effect is done. ;) I have "Thread It" and have alway...

I did but there was a lot of shrinkage and they turned blue. I had to use the palming technique to get them back to their original size and color. :-)

The Expo was demonstrating all brand new magic. All of the the demonstrators were great but most of the effects...

I believe I didn't do a very good job at communicating in my original post on Sept. 29th. As a collector, I love the cleaver design and thinking behind the micro illusions created by Tenyo, Magiro, Magic Wagon, etc. Tenyo magic is what got me into these small illusions in the first place. My only di...

Collectors are probably a very small percentage of there customer base. Frankly I am just happy they are still exporting the tricks and taking the trouble to write English instructions.

Re: New 2017 Tenyo Line Coming Out on Thursday Sept.22

The reason has been mentioned Gaz: Tenyo offers these tricks to children and Japanese laymen who want to spend only a few bucks on an item. Making tricks as they used to would be too expensive for their main customers. One would think Tenyo could cater to both the layman and the hard core collector...

Re: New 2017 Tenyo Line Coming Out on Thursday Sept.22

Every year for the past several years I've hoped to see Tenyo release at least one micro illusion (like the Tenyo of old) and every year I am disappointed. I am no more interested in the 2017 line up as I was in the 2016 effects. :-( I may purchase the puzzle effect. Not because I think it is magica...

Re: Got Lucky on an auction win

After winning this auction, I started playing with Telesphere for the first time in years.
It truely is a remarkable effect that is quite magical to view. Tenyo collectors owe it to themselves to add this piece to their collection if they don't already have it.
