WTB: Tenyo Miracle Glass

[Paul Green]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a couple of the Tenyo Miracle Glasses. This is the one where the liquid visually diminishes in the glass. I am not a collector, so it does not need to be in mint condition. It does have to be in good shape.

Thanks,

Paul Green

PS Enjoy the search!

Hi Paul:

They are called TENYO MILK TUMBLER and I can get those for you. I just sent you a PM.

Thanks Steve,

The item I am looking is not the Milk Tumbler.

Again, the one I am looking for is where the liquid visually diminishes.

Still looking,

Paul Green

Paul, what year did you first see a trick by Tenyo called "Miracle Glass"?

[Paul Green]

Sorry Richard,

I am sure it is the wrong name. It came in a yellow box as I remember. Are you able to spread some light on my search?

Any help will be appreciated!

Enjoy the search,

Paul

[Richard Kaufman]

Paul, are you referring to the type of glass that has a rubber bulb connected to the rear, near the bottom, and is double walled?

[Paul Green]

Nope! This glass is gimmicked like the evaporated milk bottle.

Glass appears full, but when the small **** at the top is opened, the liquid appears to evaporate as the level goes down.

Thanks for your assistance,

Paul

Tenyo may have sold those in Japan a long time ago (I haven't seen any evidence), but not in the US, and not for 20 or 30 years.

I will give a free signed copy of Scripting Magic to anyone who helps Paul get what he's looking for.

[Paul Green]

Thanks Pete!

I may have solved the problem!

20 or 30 years!!!!!

Enjoy the search,

Paul Green

Paul, since I'm in the final stages of writing a book about Tenyo, please email me at moobooks@verizon.net with the answer to this riddle.

Paul....Don't think this was Tenyo....This sounds exactly like the Miracle Milk Glass which D.Robbins...EZ Magic sold for years in their catalog.....we sold dozens at Mecca Magic in Jersey...from the 1960's on for many years....It came in a Yellow E-Z Magic Box.........Hope this helps......If I'm wrong....................Never Mind...

[I.M. Magician]

I think Myron is correct. I also think that I can get you various models of it currently being manufactured. Please PM me for details. Steve

Hi Everyone,

The problem has been solved. Thanks to everyone that rang in.

If you still need one, I have one new in the box with instructions. The instructions say "This trick won FIRST PRIZE in Liquid Magic at the I.B.M. Convention in Pittsburgh 1947"

[Pete McCabe]

I wonder how many places they gave in that category that year.

[I.M. Magician]

I am going to give it a college try to acquire the Linking Ring magazine that covered the results of the 1947 convention and look it up. Wish me luck! If I find it, I will report what I find out here.

CONJURERS' MAGAZINE Volume 3, Number 5 from 1947 may hold the answer to your question Pete.
