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 ...

Mr Hurley

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...

Mr Hurley

I'm particularly fond of any version of Cubio

Mr Hurley

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.

Mr Hurley

Just got this in my Facebook. Tenyo appears to have some new fanning cards and vernet deck of cards. Check it out here: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=900686023383259&substory_index=0&id=105960752855794&refid=17&_ft_=top_level_post_id.900686023383259%3Atl_objid.900686023...

This is one of two videos that I was using for it: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0KryDlmuWUo Basically, it's after he has the lion in his hand go in his pocket and the lion transfers back in the cage. Then afterwards he opens the cage and transfers the lion into his hand. I figure at this point, it w...

Mr Hurley

A few of us figured out recently that the rabbit from 'Magician's Matchbox' fits inside 'Illusion Truck'. So here's something to work with: You will need the rabbit figurine from Magician's Matchbox and a coat. At the end of your routine, have the lion disappear into your pocket, or a way to have an...

Mr Hurley

Quirky question: Do the animals in Magician's Matchbox fit inside the Illusion Truck...Truck?

Mr Hurley

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.

That's true. But this was something at the request of my daughter. It sounded like a good idea but it looks like the logistics will not allign with that

Mr Hurley

Okay. So it looks like we are going to Disneyland in late April and I want to bring some Tenyo with me to practice and perform (notably to Disney royalty: Anna and Elsa...and maybe some people standing in lines). So I want to bring Tenyo that DO NOT require any sort of table whatsoever AND are trave...

Mr Hurley

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?

Mr Hurley

Okay, so in my quest to construct the children's hospital show, I have been looking at Tenyo that are WAY out of my price range. However, it's a good one: Prison Box I like it because it uses...a handkerchief: a chief element in the show :D So I have some questions before I devote myself to obsessiv...

You mean it went for a reasonable price at some point?

Mr Hurley

Thank you for the good information! The information kept getting better and better and the non-welded rings pretty much sold me on it.

Looks like I'll need to save up for some Tiny Rings for the future!

Mr Hurley

When I first decided to make an all Tenyo show, going through the 250+ T-numbered inventory was overwhelming. Some are neat to use, but have complications. Some are sleeper hits, some are for the financially well off. And some are just absolutely difficult to find. I can see why it's easier to do no...

Mr Hurley

I'm looking around for some close-up rings and stumbled upon Tenyo's Tiny Rings. Granted, they are a little over 2 inches in diameter each and really tough to find. Are these worth acquiring? Do they have the weld marks? Or is it better to find a set of Ninja Rings, even though they are twice the si...

Richard Kaufman wrote:Magicians don't use magnets to float things.

The curvature of the card seemed like that it could make sense to me. Ah well

Mr Hurley

Agh! Noooo. I was hoping for magnets for some reason. What's worse is that, even at 31, I don't have the steadiest of hands--I fear I'll give it away.

I appreciate the fast and helpful input. Thank you all again.

Mr Hurley

I've been looking around for some Tenyo that can be carried in a pocket and are best suited for 1-on-1. And today, I came across 'Floating Broom'. Because it was a Japanese-only release, I'd imagine it to be a bit tough to find someone with translated instructions; having that be a bit of deterrent....

Mr Hurley

It's all good! I just need holiday money at the moment. Once January hits, it's Tenyo acquisition time again.

Mr Hurley

Richard Kaufman wrote:You might try lowering the price if you want to sell it.

I did. That's why I'm starting the auction at $1. Let's see where it goes.

Mr Hurley

I'm selling the 2008 redemption trick Magicians Clock (blank card variant). It was fun to have, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't fit it into anything for the children's hospital repertoire--despite the routine I built for it. Cards have only been handled once to place all 26 in indivi...

Mr Hurley

Do you have any idea how crazy you are? NCFOM lol !! ...Just call it, sir. I read that auction description and I couldn't type in the response fast enough! To answer your question. I do not know the degree of crazy I am. But you definitely made a lunatics day. So thank you. I just started to apprec...

Thank you very much for the information! I'll definitely get Ghost Camera in October.

Mr Hurley

Thank you, everyone, for the responses! The way the book was recommended across several forums; it was a 'mandatory read'. I felt that, 'if all magicians worth their salt operate on levels of art, then I better start thinking and looking at what I do as well! I don't want to waste my time!' I can re...

Mr Hurley

I did not know that a sound needed to be covered. Still like it, but I'll get it way later down the road.

Does Ghost Camera need to stay folded into quarters? Or can you fold it into, say, a pocket square?

Mr Hurley

Good eye! Thank you.

That item description looks like the dialogue from No Country For Old Men.

Thats your lucky Clock. If you put it in your pocket, it becomes a clock...which it is.

Mr Hurley

That is neat with the play on words. There are some other Tenyo that utilize a play on words that I find fascinating. All right. I'll hold off on China Surprise. But I need more Tenyo I can use a handkerchief with. I don't know, I guess Mysterious Dog House would be my next go to? Seems like you cou...

Mr Hurley

Yes, the dumpling trick. It's quite famous in Japan, believe it or not, but should not be performed by anyone in the west with even the smallest shred of dignity. Ah, man. There must be a scripting angle that can work for it in the West. Something along the lines of: My friend, a chef, showed me a ...

Mr Hurley

All right, the 2016 Tenyo are almost here. And I imagine that's going to drum up a lot of conversation for a while. So, to try and fill in a bit of a gap; what are your 'next-in-line' for Tenyo? Right now, I'm saving up for just 3: Ghost Camera Shrinking Pen China Surprise I MIGHT get The other 3 20...

Mr Hurley

I've had the missus laptop today and I've been viciously reading 'Our Magic' by Maskelyne. I got 6 E-Books from CARC back in January, and I thought I lost them all when my laptop crashed. I'd still prefer actual, corporeal books. But for now, E-books it is! First off. Let me say that the first part ...

I think that it can be true that you make some enemies along the way. But I think that it heavily depends on the writing style

Mr Hurley

Even though I am a rookie in magic, I am interested in writing reviews. Are there any prerequisites or an application process?

I apologize for the misinterpretation. That is rather amazing that the opening chapter provides that much insight. And the video. Oh dear. That was a tough one to watch. An interesting learning exercise. - I know everybody is fighting their own fight, but you have to hang that up for the time you're...
