I always really liked Birdwatcher very much. The props in both construction and design appeal to me and the method and ability to perform it twice in two different ways is a big plus IMHO.

It seemed to increase in popularity years after its release. Around a decade or so ago, not many really cared about it very much from my empirical experiences. Nowadays, it appears to have gained the respect it really deserves.

The prop was really beautifully made. The 1st method is clever, the 2nd one is even better. It`s just perfect !

I love this effect, so clever. I like it when the maths/principal does all the work so you can just go right in and perform.
I did a version called witchbeard’s gold. There’s a great alternative in Tenyoism too called crowd generator, I made myself a set of those too (it was the original idea that spawned birdwatcher)

This one is 'superior'! Easy to do, lengthy routine which gets more baffling each step and the last reveal with the cards in the box make this a true miracle.
Don't perform after a couple of drinks though, as I once did, as chances are you won't correctly add up the numbers, or forget the 'special' number :? :D

Yes, this is a very clever trick and also the design is very nice, easy to carry with you
I was very pleased when I bought this trick halfway cheap after a long search
I also like a somewhat longer routine which enfolds the magic ...

This certainly is one of the best tricks Tenyo has ever released and I fully agree with all the aforementioned praises. Here in Germany we regularly have the "Stunde der Gartenvögel" where we are invited to count all the birds that come to visit our gardens within one hour and to report their number to the regional association for the protection of birds. This would be a perfect opportunity to present this trick as a training set for bird watchers :wink:

Hi Ralf,

I recommend you also to get Bird Brain from John Mazza too. It is based on the dream psychometry. Good trick with high quality of cards.

Hi Victor,

you are right, Bird Brain is also a very nice trick to perform. I already got my copy from John about three years ago - together with these nice upgrade cards for "Mobile Illusion".
