In my so far fruitless search for "Billscape" I recently dragged out my Tenyo Fortune Sticks. Unfortunately I cannot find the instructions and am left staring at them rather impotently. Will anyone be kind enough to pm me and refresh my memory, or at least tell me how I could go about relearning the secret. They are the original plastic sticks, not the elite version, but I presume the methods are the same. Many thanks - I am new to this bit and usually spend my entire time in the Bizarre part of the Café. Any help gratefully received.

SO helpful - if not a tad suspicious. It didn't occur to me that someone might join Magic Café, seek out the Tenyo section and ask how Fortune Sticks worked, without actually owning them. Anyway - here is what you have asked for. They are held by Fats, the vent from "Magic", he tells me to do most things -with todays date. Hope this is proof enough.

I think the dummy took the instructions he is acting a bit suspicious.
He is refusing to look me in the eye.

My suggestion was meant to be helpful, not suspicious, as you suggested. Since it did not occur to you, some people (mainly, but not limited to, kids) do join magic forums to get the secret to illusions. Sometimes these people post the secret on YouTube, other forums, etc. In no way was it said you were part of the above category. A suggestion was made only to facilitate your quest.

Additionally, some members first post in the Tenyo section (this was your first post here), mention their looking for instructions for an item. That could make others cautious of supplying the instructions being requested, therefore I suggested the photo. No other reason.

Well it certainly has. Thanks for clarification. I will try somewhere else.

Papalazarou, you have to understand that there are a lot of people suddenly pop-up, ask for instructions without proving they own the trick, get it and dissapear. Nothing wrong with that, but it is understandable we would like to have some proof someone owns the trick. Thanks for the (funny) picture. I have sent you a pm and will send the instructions if you are still looking for them.

Thank you very much to Killertweety for his kind help in this matter. Totally understand the caution. But lovely to have such speedy help. Fats is now happy and told me I
can put the knife back in the drawer. I continue my quest for a Billscape - which increasingly appears impossible to find.

I have the illusion in Japanese and just located the English instructions if you still need them.

Yes, mine is an Albert Alfaro. He's beautiful - does everything. Even tells me to kill.

I recently got the Elite Fortune Sticks. I must say they are superior to the original for performing. I find the are easier for me to work with and get the vital information to make the right prediction.
A clever trick and practical Tenyo creation.
