Sup y'all,

Okay....for those of you who're interested in Tenyo products, here are some of the reviews for the items I own. I'm sorry about the number of line-ups being so small but I don't buy Tenyo stuff nowadays. The ratings for those itmes are indicated by ">".

>Rising Card
The effect is highly visual and those unused to magic tricks will never find out its secret. I performed it to many people and they were simply amazed. I perform a routine as follows; Have a spectator pick a card which is then lost in the deck. Hold the deck in a way that both the magician and the spectator see the back of the cards. Make a magical gesture and let the card rise -- don't see the face of the card, but make a circle motion and let the spectator see it instead. It's not their card, and on the face is written "Oops! Mistake!" Act as if you've made a mistake; proceed to make the chosen card rise.

>Dancing Handkerchief
Great for stage performance. Kids love this. Take some distance from the spectators and also be sure to wear something black. Can be performed outdoors (I often entertain drivers and passengers, standing beside a heavy traffic)

>Magical Scratch Card
In my opinion this sort of confuses the spectator. He or she is not certain whether 1) they themselves have predicted the numbers written on the loto card, or 2) the loto card has already predicted the number the spectator freely selected. Similar trick exists and it's called "Predicta" which costs twice as this trick.

>Magician's Matchbox
If someone asks you to produce a dove, then this trick is for you. In my experience it turned out that people are more astonished when they see the picture of a closed box, on the back of the matchbox, has changed and is now open. It takes a bit of practice so that the dove can smoothly be produced. Comes with dozens of fake mathces but they are almost useless; use about a 1/3 of it otherwise it will cause the mechanism to be stuck in the middle of the routine.
