Tenyo Magic Forum

I noticed over on FB someone called The Ninja Experiment, the Holy Grail of Tenyo. I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is on "The Holy Grail" of Tenyo. Personally, I would go for a brand new unopened Floating Lady. What does everyone else think?

Hello GrahamMatters and a belated welcome to the forum.

I would say Ninja Experiment is definitely one of the highly sought after Tenyo items. However, Floating Lady (especially a mint/unopened one) is equally sought after.
I have both tricks and they are in my top 10 favorite Tenyo tricks.
Not only do I have a carefully opened Floating Lady, but I also have one in super new, unopened condition.
I’ve considered possibly selling it in the past but could never bring myself to let go of it.

I would imagine that an unopened Ultra Tube would be right up there!

Ultra Tube and Floating Lady are never sealed, the glue failed and all the packages open like a book. If it is sealed, then it was re-glued (sometimes by the distributor). Ninja Experiment comes shrink wrapped so you know when that is truly new.

A Doug Henning Floating Lady would be along the lines of a Holy Grail because it was never officially released.

Hi John M, I must be very lucky as My Floating Lady has 100% never been opened and completely sealed. It came from Magic shop in Switzerland and is pristine.
