Hello all:
I just wanted to address some of the comments regarding our Tenyo Elite line:
Replicant, the original Moonspinner (which has been discontinued for about 18 years) did in fact come with a non-gimmicked duplicate to switch in as well. We wanted to ensure that we did that too, and as the video shows you, the case allows you to do this switch very easily. Thank you for the comments!
Part-Timer, I think that this will be a GREAT birthday present! lol
Ace of Shades, I just wanted to mention something regarding the prices. As Steve said, we do want these to be affordable for everyone, and that is why we did not price them too high. I think that people will be very pleased with the quality and feel that they definitely got what they paid for. But there is also another issue that we have had to keep in mind while pricing them: We have to be sure that the elite editions do not "cannibalize" the regular Tenyo items by pricing them too close to each other, if you catch my drift. In addition, I will echo exactly what you said: These are totally different items than the originals, and are made of a much higher quality. The laser etching alone is very expensive to do, but will also ensure that the props last a long time-----these things are meant not only for collectors, but also to be PERFORMED. I should also mention that I too LOVE (read: LOVE!!!) the thinking behind Fortune Sticks. This has become one of my favorite items! I absolutely FRY (read: FRY!!!!) people with this one; and I'm including well-learned "mentalists". It is so easy to do, and allows so much in terms of presentation. If you liked the originals, then our Tenyo Elite editions of Fortune Sticks (and all of our others too, by the way! lol) are going to blow you away.
Please let me/us know if you have any further questions. Thank you for your time and support.
