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

Same here. I think I will definitely have to pick these up.
The silk trick looks like Crystal Tube to me but without the tube.

By the way here is the video for that one:

Re: baby prep!

Thank you everyone for the well wishes. Congratulations Elliot! Hope all goes well with your wife and the baby :) May I ask if this is your first child? No and Yes. It's not our first child but we had our last one 10 years ago so we pretty much forgot what we are supposed to do with babies. :shock:

Re: baby prep!

Well add me to the over 40 with a baby club. My wife gave birth to a baby girl last week.
Everybody is doing well but looks like I've got some sleepless nights ahead of me. ;)
At the least I'll be able to read your Eastern Hemisphere posts as you post them instead of eight hours later. :)

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. Although, I personally do happen to like this years tricks so far especially since I am not sure exactly how most ...

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

I can see a larger version of the lottery working well. Then you can use a $100 bill instead of the coin. You can also ask a 4 spectators to each pick one number giving them all a chance to win the $100. I was thinking of using the lottery trick sort of in reverse. I was thinking of putting 5 mini c...

Yeah the roller kind of lacks personality. I think I will have to personalize it as well. I really love the all 4 Tenyo 2017. What a great year !

With the lottery trick the spectator has complete free choice over where to put the red/blue chips. The spectator chooses the order and orientation of the cards and he can turn them over too however he likes. :) Seomagic has now put up their videos of the tricks. https://www.youtube.com/user/seomagi...

This MAZE is absolutely a-MAZE-ing ! I believe there are combinations but looking at the demo, the spec can freely decide how to flip the card and how to rotate them in order to the prediction . I have absolutely no idea how the logic works. :roll: I was very curious about this one so I decided to ...

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

I don't have any other versions of this puzzle so I would be curious to hear about how it differs from the original.

Here's another video:



I suspect this might be better with a spectator calling the shots ;)

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

I would assume the mentalism set. I think anything that gets exported gets a T-number. It's just interesting in this case since these items either did not originate with Tenyo or were previously released.

Anyway here's another video:

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

Yeah I suppose if you just use one indicator you can put it in 5 places. Wonder why they decided to go with that over the more traditional markings. I guess it does make it somewhat different.

Sounds interesting. I noticed they changed the back design on the ESP deck since the previous pictures. It looked like the x-ray vision tester backs but I wasn't sure. I'm curious to see how that would work with an ESP deck because with x-ray tester you were only able to tell black from red. BTW the...

Richard, thanks for sharing this. That's a really nice addition to the Floral Fantasy trick. I'll have to be on the look out for one of those. :) Victor, The original packaging for Mr. Rabbit says "Softest Rabbit in the World".

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items

I have the Mickey Double World from Disneyland but I haven't been able to find any of the original ones anywhere. Saw one in an auction once but it ended up going for big $$$. I was a bit surprised by that as I didn't realize they were that rare.

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items

That is what Tenyo calls a "Double World". Although I don't think Tenyo made the Star Wars boxes. They just granted a license to whichever company made it.

I had a Transformers collection as a kid. Unfortunately I played with them so although I still have most of them, they are missing various body parts. :(

Re: Tenyo Non-Magic Items

Found this odd Tenyo item a little while ago. Thought it was a typical Art Bank but turns out there was no coin slot on top. Took me a while to figure out what it was not having these things around my house at all.

Re: T-85 See Through Guillotine

Like a lot of older Tenyo this one was copied a lot and I probably saw some rip-offs before seeing the Tenyo version. So I guess I saw it as a pretty common trick and wasn't that amazed. Still it is very cleverb and looks great. I have a used version of this where the gimmick sort of got stuck and r...
