I am posting this photo to show the imprints I spoke of in a previous post.

Also, this is my first attempt to include a photo here on the forum. I think it worked! :D

Re: Tenyo Coin Gaffs and Boxes

You are correct Victor! It makes use of magnets. The special coins and address book have those properties. If I recall correctly, when I bought it all those years ago, they provided a thick black platform to use rather than the more practical address book. I always felt that Johnson products were co...

Re: Tenyo Mentalism Pouch

Nice work putting that together Simon! I have a small Victorinox carry thingy I bought around a dozen years ago which you have inspired me to fill with some Tenyo items like you have. I used to load a card packet trick, two paddles, a few gimmicked coin effects, and a few other items in it but I lik...

How about Johnson`s Brass Boxes ? Are they good ? Has anyone bought Johnson`s version ? They have a good price too but unfortunately they do not accept Paypal :( http://www.johnsonmagicproducts.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=94&zenid=6bf5a430cae0c7fb25b2f22afd5a68fc I bought the Magna box...

It would be a perfect opportunity to see all of Simon's work showcased!

Then, I will probably want some of the items. :D

Re: Tenyo Coin Gaffs and Boxes

I've gone down the rabbit hole! I think that's the first thing on my crimbo list. What's the price difference likely to be between a brass and copper version? Is it significant? The only copper one I can think of is the one from Morrissey. It's very light and the price is low but not great quality....

Re: Tenyo Coin Gaffs and Boxes

Speaking of coin boxes (which I love to do!), there are many variations, some of which are excellent. Johnson makes the Magna Coin Box set. There was a special box where the bottom of the box flipped down. That type was available in the seventies but revived about a decade ago but the problem was th...

Re: Tenyo Coin Gaffs and Boxes

Do the stainless steel boxes have same, heavier or lighter weight than brass? Somehow the brass looks more classic elegant than steinless. But I think it's only about personal taste. With brass we also need to polish it regularly to keep it shiny. The weight is the same from what I remember. The co...

No, actually it's not typical.

That feature is for workers who want to do routines with extra moves, etc. using special coins.

One really good thing about the Chazpro Buddha design is that it looks like a pill box rather than a magic prop.

Re: Tenyo Coin Gaffs and Boxes

There is a routine for that type of box in the book OKITO COIN BOX ROUTINES by Mohamned Bey. When I worked in the magic shop a million years ago, we sold tiny wands which you could use to penetrate the coins in the box by pushing the wand through that little hole in the box. They were adorable tiny ...

Re: Tenyo Coin Gaffs and Boxes

Heavy brass Boston spells Chazpro. I agree with Rob that they are nice. Please allow me to suggest that you look at a Chazpro box online because their design is not standard and is an acquired taste. I would add it here if I knew how! :lol: By the way, they make them in three sizes...dollar, half do...

Re: Tenyo Coin Gaffs and Boxes

I don't own an okito box, anyone got any goods tips for a good supplier? First, you will need to determine what kind of box you prefer, Okito, Boston, or Slot. Or, you can buy a set which contains all of them and a lid. Do you want, brass, stainless steel, or copper? Brass are readily available, st...

She is correct! :)

If you are holding the cards correctly, it would indeed be the top left corner. "top" and "upper" are interchangeable in this situation but not with the word "outer" as far as I can see.

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

If a playing card is held horizontally, then it has "outer" left and right corners. If a playing card is held vertically, then it has "upper" left and right corners. I am not sure why you would hold the cards horizontally. If you did, then the objects would be sideways rather than right side up. Th...

So far, I printed only Dream Psychometry. No figures/pics.

At the top of page two, The Secret of the Item Cards, the word OUTER should be UPPER...correct?

The you know what's are located in the upper left hand corners.
