I don't own this one but john brought it to London for me to try out. very cool effect, Ivan see it playing well with younger spectators with a cool theme, doctor who or something. I can't really rate it as I've not performed it but I like the thinking behind the props very much

What?! You guys are posting a Tenyo that...I have?! Preposterous!
Okay. of all the Tenyo that I'm aware of, 'Third Eye is one of THE BEST Tenyo to use at a social gathering.
It takes the very cliche premise of the 'pick a card, i'll predict it' plot and does something very neat with it--has a spectator predict the card instead. The magician acts as a mediator and gets to wipe their hands clean. IT's one of the few Tenyo in which I can confidently say that if you're a worker, use this!
I think that the 'basic cards' set is the WEAKEST of the 3 sets of cards it comes with. You can do some AMAZING things with the 'percentage' cards and the 'what means most to you' cards. I mean, WHY are you handing the spectator 5 lonely cards when usually every card trick involves an entire deck?
But like every Lubor-made trick, theres a hitch. The one here is that you need to be ON POINT with audience management, otherwise, the trick flops. You need to have a solid routine with 'The Third Eye'.
Not a bad thing at all. Its just that, while it is easy to DO, it's not easy to PERFORM. I mean, it's a VERY audience involved and sometimes spectators can do some unpredictable things, and you need to think on your feet to ensure the best success. Security Lock suffers the same issue.

This routine could be a good combination with Tenyo Third Eye in order to make the the routine / Third Eye Experiment longer. All Seeing Eye by Dan Harlan, a nice impromptu mental magic
