Re: T-105 Tunnel Of Darkness

I was curious about this effect but I knew I would never pay the price it was going for. Amazingly, I stumbled across the D.H. version for only 8.95$us. Needless to say, I would have been stupid not to buy it. The instructions it came with are horrible but I managed to figure it out. All in all, a n...

Re: THE LONG WAIT...

My package from Tokyo-Hobby was lost in the ether.
I waited over a month. They gave me a no questions asked refund. Yes, the prices are good, but, not sure if I will order from them again.

Re: T-201 Mystery China Box

FINALLY got a hold of one of these!
I now see why it is so highly regarded of Tenyos.
It definitely epitomizes Tenyo ingenuity.
I watched the videos a dozen times and couldn't guess.
After learning the secret, I still said wow.
Definitely a top 10 in my book.

Re: T-246 Trap Box

At first, I found this very hard to work. I think because I am left handed. After practicing MANY times, It is much easier to work now. I dont know if I became stronger or the spring became weaker, but it works like a charm now. The only real problem I had with this was the 'rattle' sounded nothing ...

Re: T-193 Magic Painting

I agree with much of what has been said here already. SUPER packet trick, but that nasty bit at the end..I work it in different ways depending on the situation, but I usually like my Tenyo to remain mechanical. I still practice it once in a while to keep sharp but I don't carry it around. As an asid...

Re: T-230 Mystic Scope

I always thought this was a great apparatus which was rather wasted on a boring 'card find'
Simon's add on has seriously elevated this effect for me, to a thing of beauty.
It is now...«drum roll»...My Favorite Tenyo.
Kudos..

Hullo from Massachusetts

Hi all! I'm James from MA. I have a love for Tenyo and micro-magic in general. While my collection is very modest, it is ever expanding. The great work done by my Tenyo heroes (John,Roberto,Simon/Jenzo, etc) has led me here that I may learn from the masters! Though John may remember me from a previo...
