What Tenyo should I get next?

Post by Bob a.k.a. 444rr » Tue Sep 02, 2014 4:33 pm

If this is not in the right place i'm sorry :(

My question is besides Crystal Cleaver (that I will be getting soon :D) are there any other non discontinued Tenyo tricks I should get? Such as ones that will be hard to find or rare after they get discontinued. I want to get one day the 4-dimensional trunk also

The tricks I have in my collection are
4-d Surprise
Confined cubes
Trisector
Crystal Pyramid
Card Surgery
Flash Dice
Tower of Dice

You should absolutely love Billscape, which is a real worker!

Unfortunately this is a rather expensive Tenyo item.

But I happened to remake this one, called Skill Babe

I have still some copies left, they are only 25 $

Bob snap up a skill babe, I gave one and it's great, it works just the same as billscape, and it has the raddled bonus of a box to store all the parts AND it's only 25 bucks, you can't go wrong! I have a spare 4D trunk, if you're looking to save some money I'm open to trades

Here's my performance of 4D trunk

If you do fancy a trade I'll throw in some of the invisible balls I use too for free ;)

Great Start to your collection Bob.

Check out this list http://funstuffonly.com/tenyo/performin ... #difficult

I think you would love Magical Door but it is rather expensive now.

Yeah that's a good shout John, I think there are replicas available but they won't be as good as tenyo obviously. I might be making some wooden ones soon so watch this space...

If you want a trick with an amazing gimmick like Crystal Cleaver, go after Crystal Pyramid or Magic Works: Coin In The Crypt

It's the only gimmick I know of that's more amazing than the trick itself

Also, what is your budget like? I know you're going after Mini-Morphosis, but I don't want to look like a doofus and suggest anything out of range
Where's my colon?!

I think his total budget is $150.

If I am correct then I suggest at this stage of Tenyoitis to go for as many good ones as you can get for the money. Loose ones are half the price of packaged ones. We all started out this way with the loose ones and then got crazy with the expensive ones and the sealed packaged ones.

There are a lot of loose Tenyo in the Tenyo Store (that is now what I will call it here so I don't have to type "The Buy Sell Section of the Sister Website") so check there. Many are $15 so you can get 10 Tenyo for your budget.

If you want to go that route I suggest you go with these:
$15 Pillars of Thor (underrated)
$15 Burglar Ball (probably the best non-gimmicked Tenyo)
$15 Ballerina Hank (I love this one. It will look cool doing it in one of your videos)
$15 Fortune Donut (you will need to get double stick tape)
$15 Zone Infinity (classic)
$15 Shrinking Pen (really good)
$15 Trap Box (good utility device, it is also a rattle box)
$20 Phantoma (very cool)
$20 Vanish Point (nice one)
$20 Ultra Slice (Mint in Package)

The last three are actually $20 but I can sell them for $15 if you buy the lot.

If you want to make up your own selections then be my guest. If you are not interested then no problem.

Not to derail the thread.

But honest newbie question: how is trap box a 'utility device'?

A utility device is something that has a variety of uses. Trap box can be used in any routine to make a small object vanish. You do the steal and then rattle the box and hand it to the spec. Tenyo's version is very good where everything is well hidden. Plus it is in a nice neutral black.

You can see other Tenyo that are Utility Devices Here

The house in Phantoma is also a rattle box but it can hardly be considered a utility device because the prop is so specific to the trick.

Great list and all affordable too! Enjoy these, and don't be too excited to buy too many at once. I tried to get them slowly and really enjoy each one. It is hard to do though!!!
