So which is your favorite Tenyo release for 2014?

Postby I.M. Magician » March 29th, 2014, 3:52 pm

Now that the new Tenyo releases for 2014 have been out for a while, I am wondering what you think. Which one is your favorite and why?

My favorite is MAGICAL MRI because it's a flashback to Tenyo's tradition of great plastic apparatus. It's cleverly made, can be performed with a variety of objects, and is easy to learn and perform. Oh, and it's a fooler!

My favorite is "4D Printer." You should actually try it instead of calling it a "crap paper trick." Unless you're referring to their version of Pat Page's "Flash Cash," ("Money Shock") which has proven itself to be one of the greatest tricks you can do with paper currency in the last half century.

The days of "Mirage," "Side Track," and so on are long gone.

You don't like Lubor Fiedler's tricks? They've been a highlight every year.

Remember who Tenyo's main (and by far largest) customer base is: Japanese laymen.

got to play with an MRI this past weekend. Reminded me of a blackjack device I have in my collection. I think I would have preferred little side 'wings' (perpendicular to the side) both to suggest that one cannot peek around the sides, and they would have the effect of insuring the item was placed within a viewable location.

saw their version of easy money. looked great.

I still like cervon's.

I do not know that is was published. He did it for me at the castle. bills held open at the fingertips. a little flick of the wrist, and they change.

have a suspicion as to method (believe one popular creator/scavenger has taken the basic idea into one known version) but Bruce's looked much better in practice.

Bruce never published his working repertoire. It's all on VHS cassette tapes he made. Perhaps a book will come out someday.
