Re: Tenyo 2017 first impressions
The puck for "Psycho Gravity" is about 1.5 inches in diameter. I'm actually having some trouble getting it to stop in the desired spot. I did see the inventor do it in Tokyo last week and it looked fantastic so am encouraged to continue working on it. "Water Crystal" also has a ...

Re: Tenyo 2017 first impressions
I can see what Richard is saying. I remember last years previews and I bagged on 'Ghost Camera' pretty hard. I would later eat my words as that's my favorite trick of the 2016 line. But then again, it's going to be a bit before we all get our hands on the new Tenyo goodies. And speculation and discu...

Re: New Tenyo line for 2017!
The new lineup looks interesting. I like the puzzle, mainly because it's extremely different than the other 3 tricks.
Other than that, 'Psycho Gravity', to me, seems like it would be the best performance piece.

I figured that the Anna & Elsa visit get you more time since the visit for them is still done by a 'first come, first served' fast-pass system. I'll have to research it a bit further. But if the time is significantly longer than the quick camera opportunity. Then Shrinking Pen it is! Thank you.

I am sure that we all have Tenyo that we haven't put much stock into. And Tenyoism is the book to spark ingenuity in virtually every Tenyo there is.
So here's my question: what Tenyo are you finally placing stock into after reading Tenyoism?
