Behold, Tenyo!

[Richard Kaufman]

Working on the Tenyo book, my collection has ... ahem, grown.

[Matthew Field]

Ecce Futagawa!

What the heck does that mean?

[Tom Stone]

Ecce = behold.

[Richard Kaufman]

Thanks, Tom.

Shigeo Futagawa has never invented a trick for Tenyo. Sorry Matt.

That's fantastic ! Want to see more photos ! Your collection looks amazing, and well staged. Great !

[Tom Leyland]

When I saw it in person I nearly fell over.

If you only knew of the treasures in those cases, beyond your wildest dreams. I'm talking things you have NEVER seen, guaranteed .

Richard Kaufman and the Tenyo factory!

[edshern]

R, guess those are the Ikea shelves you have talked about?

[Richard Kaufman]

Yup. Ikea Billy Bookcases with glass doors.

Nice to see the Lubor Fiedler items together on their own shelf.

But - I don't see a Phantom Clock???

Also - I hope you will write about the prototype to Phantom Clock in the book since I heard somebody (yourself or Angelo Carbone?) once say it is even better than the version which was released.

[Richard Kaufman]

You've got good eyes, Joe!

I have a yellow Phantom Clock in there somewhere, but just forgot to put it with the rest of Lubor's items. Used to have the black Phantom Clock as well, but it unfortunately went away.

I will be interviewing Lubor for the Tenyo book this summer and will ask him in detail about all of his items then.

[Joe Mckay]

You will need to interview him twice then. One for the Tenyo book. And one for the other book...

[MManchester]

Any plans, Richard, to attempt a Guinness world record for the most Tenyo magic tricks performed at one time? Think of the publicity.

[Evan Shuster]

Sugoku urayamashii!!

[Richard Kaufman]

I have no interest in having a Guiness World Record for anything except for perhaps eating a bag of my late-lamented Hostess Doughnettes in only two minutes. (Chocolate covered, not those sissy ones with powdered sugar.)
