Why is it when you performed it you don’t hear the coin drop in the bottom of the box and then when you showed us how it’s done it’s obvious that you could hear the coin drop in the bottom of the box.
Yes, I think a lot of the clever Tenyo stuff would be great made from wood. I've just started to make a copy of the Mystery China Box, will post avideo once made.
A bird disappeared and appeared in a large drinking glass from a cage.It was done in the 1920's to 1940's.Maybe older.Wood tray made like this.Abbott's Hole in One sounds similar.
Yes I saw that. I think I may buy that and compare it to see if Tenyo have made any changes or improvements. Do you have it? Its absolutely ingenious in working and is one of my best Tenyo effects.
i bought this many many years ago the base was yellow and the clear cover was pyramid shaped never did like the click when the coin dropped into the box so had a layer of cotton wool on the bottom of the box to deaden the sound but my favourite was the crystal cleaver remember that one? keep up the good work you really are the best thank you
By the sounds of your description you had the original Tenyo version, mine is the licenced copy by MB Milton Bradley Toys who released this a few years after Tenyo. Crystal Cleaver was a great trick too.
Tenyo still makes illusions with mechanisms that do the illusions for you. Look at Dr. Danger. My problem with the more recent Tenyo illusions is that they don't come with instructions printed in English anymore.
I mention the noise before it happens by saying, if you listen carefully you can hear the spirits at work. Also a small piece of soft rubber in the box base makes it quieter too.
I usually incorporate the clink sound in the patter by saying if you listen closely you'll hear th spirits returning the coin to the vault! Or something along those lines. I used to try and hide the sound by having a small reception bell on the table which I used to ring at given moment but I now prefer to just mention the clink.
I have the Tenyo Crystal Cleaver and it is equally clever ,it is so easy to do and it always amazes everybody .keep up the good work!
Great production - mist & all - your narration is so convincing with this odd mood
yep cool clasic close up stage illusion ideas concepts principles
Now that is a clever bit of engineering
Beautifully performed!!
Best patter I've seen with this effect
Thanks a lot 😊
Love Tenyo. I bought m'y first real Magic trick from then at Disney world. It was "telesphere", a take on cups and balls that je absolutely fantastic
Love the mechanics on this ,really clever 👍
Really ingenious! Thanks for sharing!
With a live presentation how do you cover the noise of the coin hitting the box. To me that just spoils EVERYTHING.
Why is it when you performed it you don’t hear the coin drop in the bottom of the box and then when you showed us how it’s done it’s obvious that you could hear the coin drop in the bottom of the box.
£8 it was a bargain. Got to agree with you on the old Tenyo stuff very ingenious and inventive. 👍😊👍
Totally agree
It’s a mechanical wonder!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I agree wood would be great.

@@totallymagic Awesome!!! I look forward to it.
Cool design

Very clever! A little more work and they could have made it so it could be shown from the bottom too but who would think it works like that!?
Yep they don't make this like that anymore. Great Demonstration and reveal.😊👍😊👍😊👍
Thanks Robert. Yep sadly Tenyo seem to have gone off the boil recently, lets hope they return to the great mechanical props!
@@totallymagic 👍😊
COOL! Good ol' Tenyo! Would be really cool in wood.
"MEOW!" to L&L!
Super Cool!!! 👍👍👍
I think Tenyo had upgraded this effect and re-release in 2025🎉
Yes both Saturn and Alakazam are stocking it now.
Hey Mark they are releasing this next month l believe 😊😊

Fantastico ❤
Incredibly clever!
What about the sound of the falling coin? Is that a problem during performance?
I mention the noise before it happens by saying, if you listen carefully you can hear the spirits at work. Also a small piece of soft rubber in the box base makes it quieter too.
how do you cover up the coin drop sound in life performance?
I usually incorporate the clink sound in the patter by saying if you listen closely you'll hear th spirits returning the coin to the vault! Or something along those lines. I used to try and hide the sound by having a small reception bell on the table which I used to ring at given moment but I now prefer to just mention the clink.
I used to have this and so many other Tenyo items. Why did I have to get rid of them...sigh.
Me too, I owned many of the range but sold them for next to nothing years ago!!!! Gutted!
@@totallymagic
I only have one, which was my mom's favorite. Missing masterpiece was the name. It still fools her to this day.
cool. where can I buy this?
Sadly no longer produced but does crop up on eBay every now and then.
When will u do the giveaway??.
Ain’t nobody mention a giveaway mate?
بینهایت زیبابود. تبریک عرض میکنم.

Good video
Why did you reveal it?!?
He literally answered that question in the video
Did ancient Egypt ever manufacture glass?
No but the aliens that taught them did ;)
Its a similar mechanism to dice thru mirror.
Is it really, I've never managed to get hold of that one, I'll keep a look out.
Plz!, note Tenyo
Save your money....this is childs play rubbish..!!
That looks so good👍🏻 Shame it’s so expensive to buy 🤯🫣
