The Genii Forum

Look! http://jpmagic.blog34.fc2.com/blog-entry-1723.html

So what's your first impression? I am liking the puzzle effect (I love that puzzle) and the one on top with the clips. I wonder what that one is all about!

The trick with the clips reminds me of a principle Chris Wasshuber wrote an ebook on:

http://www.lybrary.com/all-roads-lead-to-rome-exploration-of-an-unusual-magic-method-p-124348.html

The Hideo Kato trick called 'All Roads Lead to Rome' comes to mind as well.

This first appeared in GENII and can also be found in the recent Tenyo books.

Tenyo is going to release four Mentalism effects in Japan only and at least two of them if not all four are special +1 products from previous years.

It's very early but appears that Tenyo will have some very interesting items for 2017. It seems to come faster every year! I guess it's my age which is creating that Illustion.

I would suspect it is pretty much the same effect as Hideo Kato's routine from Genii. The method seems to be a bit different. Rather than folding the sheet over at a specific point one places segments of the roads. Perhaps by rotating and turning the pieces one can force the end point.

That link I posted to see the photo of the new stuff has been taken down.

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.

Gravity trick is most interesting.

But I did not understand the prices. Ghost Leg is 1300¥ but the simple puzzle frame is 2000¥.

The link is back up! Makes me wish I could understand Japanese! So much info there and I can't read a bit of it.

Until we see demos, it's all conjecture. Nothing wrong with discussion but demos will clear things up for us.

You won't have to wait that long. I expect to be able to post something before there are video demos available.
