When I read about these rare Tenyo items, there's one word that comes to mind; and that's give.

When I see or hear someone saying 'give', I always think: give first, afterwards you will receive (Luke 6:38). God bless.Jason wrote:When I read about these rare Tenyo items, there's one word that comes to mind; and that's give.

Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!
Well said David!!
Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!
As long as we're doing Scripture, here's a verse to bear in mind since I lost an important piece from Card Surgery and could stand another Card Surgery. It's Acts 20:35 that has a statement that was quoted by Jesus according to the verse, and it says it is better to give than to receive. A lot of you have more money than I have and can afford one more easily than I can.

Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!
Has this begging for free stuff ever worked for you?
I can say for certain it is not working here.

Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!
While I am familiar with the phrase 'it never hurts to ask'. There is also 'tact' and 'knowing your limits'. Asking for help with starting your Tenyo collection was one thing. And from what I understand, you did receive help on that front from people here. But now asking about giving discontinued and rare pieces is certainly extending beyond boundary.
One thing is for certain: Tenyo is inherently NOT cheap to collect. Unless you can auction hunt like the best of them (I can't remember who, but someone here was like the grandmaster of finding stupid cheap Tenyo)
And as I understand it, you do not have the best financial accommodations. I also do not have the best financial situation for Tenyo, but I've been able to find oddball ways of being able to afford it from time to time. Finding change on the ground in stores, drive-thrus/leftover in the Coinstar machines, flipping collectible decks I've been able to acquire through free weekly contests, creating cardistry/card flourishing tutorials, flipping collectable Hot Wheels/diecast cars, and just selling things I don't need anymore.
While I don't know all the specifics of your situation. I know that in a situation where finances are very constrained, you have get a bit creative with affording hobbies.

Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!
I never expected anyone to give me discontinued rare Tenyo tricks. When I said give, that was a joke, so please don't ban me over a joke. I thought I made it clear enough when I put a smiley emoticon up. The only thing I was a little serious about was a replacement for Card Surgery. Unless that one's been discontinued and is rare, then I never seriously asked someone to give me one for free. The reason I lost important parts of Card Surgery is because I tried taking it somewhere in a plastic shopping bag like you'd get from Walmart, and I lost an important piece. Card Surgery's a good trick, but there are too many small parts that are easy to lose. If I ever get a replacement for that one, I'm using a Ziploc bag when I'm going somewhere and planning to take it with me. I was just saying what the Lord said when I quoted that verse. It's not a commandment; and if nobody wants to be blessed by giving me a replacement, that's your prerogative.

Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!
Jason, I don't think it comes down to this isolated incident. Over the past few months, many of your posts do not contribute to the conversation in a meaningful or constructive way. Examples include the fantasy about using the pet scorpion to find a card, finding a card buried in the bottom of the ocean, asking members to set you up with a girlfriend, etc.

Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!
I haven't brought up the scorpion trick for a long time, and the only reason I did was because Copperfield did it, and I wanted to learn the secret. I also never said anything about finding a card in the bottom of the ocean. I said something about making a prediction and putting it in the bottom of the ocean, which would be a dumb place because nobody would go to that much trouble to find a prediction made by a magician; and the only reason I said it was because I read it in an introduction in a magic book about mentalism.

Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!
Jason,
I think I understand your dilemma, although I might be completely wrong.
You love the magic, which all of us understand. However, you seem to have very limited funds with which to participate at a level which some of the others here have ascertained. This is also understandable. If this is the case, I understand this very well as many years ago, I myself started with nothing. Having very little, and wanting more, was the very best motivator for me to examine options, and make some serious decisions.
It looks like this community is giving you some very tough love. Although this community decision may make you feel somewhat confused at the moment, I hope you will think seriously about what is being said and use the advice to move on, and motivate you to set some different goals.
I wish you all the very best.
I feel that you have greatness in you, and that you will experience a great deal of success in the future.

Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!
I'm on a waiting list and should hopefully get a job within a year or two. It does get frustrating to lose an important part to a Tenyo trick that's not cheap, however; and it would be nice if someone exercised that good Tenyo karma around Christmas time when it comes to Card Surgery. I already know how to do it, so I won't need anyone to give me instructions.

I permanently banned Jason. I thought about making it for 30 days but why? He will never "get it"
Here is the reason he will see:

Re: Your favourite rare tenyo piece!
My favorite rare Tenyo piece is "Invisible Man." I think it was Kato who put it all together into a routine. It's cute. The invisible man idea comes from Dr. Sawa.
