Tenyo Magic Forum

Also one of my faves (in the short time I've been into this!). Here are a couple of posts, loosely related to Crystal Clevaer, but that I found interesting. 1. A focus group test involving different approaches to performing CC . 2. A presentational idea for CC . I've tried (2), and was very happy wi...

Matt’s back with another fooler.

I have zero clue as to what’s going on here, but I love it:

Not to get too political, but...
Funny, so long as you're not the butt of the joke...

Those look excellent. Been a while since visiting a magic convention, but it still looks very familiar! :lol: On the same topic, has anyone tried the Magic Puzzle Company puzzles yet? https://www.magicpuzzlecompany.com/ We have the three from the first series, but I'm waiting for lockdown to get rea...

I think this just about passes as magic, but either way, I love it. I find myself strangely drawn to overly elaborate methods for simple effects, so this ticks that box for me! https://www.facebook.com/61202989/videos/10103601971971703/ Matt Pritchard, the creator, has a nice website here: https://w...

Happy Birthday Rob!
We’ve never met and I haven’t been here for long, but it’s all too apparent what a thoroughly decent chap you are!

Hi David, I sympathise. I run a business that trades across the EU - fortunately we only have a couple of different products (for import/export purposes), we work closely with a large forwarding agent and have a small team focussed on it, but even so it’s been a nightmare. For a relatively small mag...

Apparently it will be out this month or next.
Looking forward to it!

Angelo kindly sent me the link to his site:

There’s a great video of it in action!
Probably a little too expensive for me at the mo - all my lockdown savings have gone on Tenyo...

Hi all,

I spotted this on eBay a day or two ago.
I’m a fan of Angelo’s work, but don’t know anything about this. Anyone know any more?

Hi Geoffrey, I’m a new joiner like yourself. I log in everyday and always find something new that makes me smile, and I’ve only just scratched the surface. Welcome!

Lovely city you’re from too - comfortably in my U.K. top 5!

The Montecristo/Mastermind Deck is the closest I've found so far, but it looks like it's limited to just one card.

This is a new purchase for me, and I love the card force. I love the pop-up mechanism too, but the force is just brilliant. Q1: is there a gaffed deck that uses the same principle across 52 cards? Q2: are the secret markings on the 9 cards purely to ease set-up of the trick? I can't see any other pu...

I’ve just received a set of these and, obviously, I’m really impressed by the method, but can I also just raise a toast to the quality of the manufacturing - the way the two ends of the keys (different on each end) blend into the handle is just fantastic. Obviously you guys have grown used to this o...

Thanks Rob, all good now. And I got hold of some nice matching Y100 coins which I introduced along with the stack - my 7 and 4-year-olds were suitably amazed. :roll: Appreciate any respectable coin man probably uses proper coin boxes, but I assume someone out there has routined some tricks using the...

I love this, and the whole idea behind it. I always wanted my own flea circus - I think this is even better!

Cute. I can't put my finger on why, but tricks with matchboxes appeal to me. I have a strong memory of seeing sympathetic matchboxes on the Paul Daniels show when I was a child, so perhaps it was that.

I like this effect (I don't own it, and this is the first time I've seen it), but the side panels bother me. What are they for? I presume the actual answer of course is to help cover angle issues, but from a layman's perspective (which is how I viewed the video), they seem to be unnecessarily compli...

Thanks for the warm welcome, chaps. Lovely to be here, and hope I can contribute something useful once I get bedded in!

See you around,
Chris

Thanks David, that's helpful, although right now I'm stuck at pre-use - it's the initial loosening I'm stuck with, they just won't come out! Tempted to get some WD40 on them...

Quick question re. dynamic coins: any ideas for releasing the inserts from the caps? My set is new (it's the Magic+Entertainment version from Japan), but even a hefty 'bang' on a hard surface doesn't release the inserts - they seem to be well and truly stuck. Before anyone rightly asks, yes, I am us...

Hi, happy new year to you all! I’m Chris, I'm 39 years old, and I currently live and work in Kent. My first magic trick was a gift from my aunt about 35 years ago - it was a clear plastic box in which you placed a red wooden ball through which ran two yellow pieces of string. One loop of string was ...
