Hello,
I am looking for the Tenyo Magic Puzzle Bank. I think this was a Japan only release. Not sure of the year. The description reads " Basically it appears that in order to get a coin in the bank the holes in the plastic plates must line up. Your spectator will try to do this but will not be able to. You can get a coin in though because you know the secret." http://tenyo-magic.blogspot.com/2013/11 ... -bank.html has pictures.
Take care...Bruce

I've never seen this. It will be extremely difficult to find in the US. Look in Japan.

Thank you Richard. If you have never seen it I am in trouble.

I thought you ended up acquiring one of everything when you were writing the big Tenyo Book.

Only tricks. Not puzzles, banks, jigsaw puzzles, etc.

Mustache: I suggest you join the Tenyo Facebook Group administered by Angelo Carbone.

On a related note, there's currently a brand new original Tenyo Dracula Bank from 1993 (created by Mark Setteducati) available on U.S. eBay.

It's a fun and fantastic optical illusion, and I think is does not pop up very often.

By chance it turned out that I saw during my last holidays in Osaka, two months ago, the following thing in the japan well known department store "Biccamera":

It's not exactly the same gadget, but the effect looks alike?
