Someone from the "inner circle" just sold this in the 'tricks for sale' section for a song, with the following comments:
"Worst piece of angle-sensitive dumbly constructed cr*p I've ever purchased. Just the absolute biggest dumb a*s routine I've ever bought." Agree or disagree? |

Angle sensitive? He probably did a walk around routine in The Shire for Hobbits or for Dwarves in Moria (guess what movie I rewatched yesterday
 ).
The angles have been discussed a lot, if someone tries to peek under it lower the card ... . Also wairing a, was it white (?), shirt helps. Not my favourite Tenyo but is is far from being cr*p! Why not use the deck/gimmick for an 'ordinary' card trick (with carefull handling of course) and then use it as a floating divice? With some practice good routines are possible imho. |

I saw Angelo Carbone do this and it was quite interesting the way he gave me the impression that I could see beneath the floating card. I actually did bend over and peek under it--that's the first reaction most people have. Because the gimmick is essentially clear, and because Angelo was careful with the lighting in his performing area, I felt I had looked under the floating card and seen nothing. The effect can be made to look astounding.

Yes crap is a bit harsh ;-). I think I came up with a good solution to the floating card plot where you can control the speed and height of the ascent, the ability to look under it in certain occasions, the ability to remove a card under the floating card and the ability to have the deck examined once the gimmicked cards are removed. Compared to some other versions out there, with those you cannot look under or remove a card as the convincer.
Next time I will try to come with a method that uses REAL magic that will hopefully please the 'inner circle' magician. :-P Would love to know who it was.

FYI here is a video of me performing it with no video effects or painting out the gimmick and yet the gimmick cant be seen. Shadow, lighting and colour of shirt helps.

Just like movie and restaurant critics. I bought this one and honestly of your effects I own... it is the only one I don't use. I use OOO and prison box all the time though Amazing stuff.

I agree with saysold in that the orginal post was a little tongue in cheek. I think he may have gone a little over the top. I collect Tenyo primarily because of clever methods and thinking. The floating card was a nice example of both.

"Tongue in cheek"? No, I don't think so, as you can see from his and other's comments:

It amazes me how people can critique effects so harshly. Floating Card is an excellent trick. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, it's just that some of them aren't founded in logic.

Just read the thread. Wow indeed. Like I said, next time I will use real magic as the solution to achieve the same look of the effect :-P

It's because people are all talk. Granted, I feel there are some bad Tenyo tricks, but I still have enough respect for the creator to know it's far easier said than done or each creator would invent hundreds of tricks per year. Further, probably some of their best tricks never go to market. Everyone is a critic, I say, unless you can do better, keep your mouth shut. I was always taught that growing up. For what it's worth Angelo, you're obviously a creative genius so you might as well consider the source. Best, Tom |

Thanks guys!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, granted, but boy does he hate it. His choice of words and anger for the product amazes me! I have not felt like he has for any product. Maybe I am too reserved I know it is my trick but I am very proud of the method. I love Enlightement but wanted to create a method where you could potentially look under. So that was what I came up with. I have performed this countless times with no issues. Sorry if it seems I am rushing to defend it but I think it is a great method. Regular deck, control of speed and height of levitation, up and down vertical lift, can remove a card under it, can look under it (depending on lighting). Tenyo obviously thought it was good enough to accept it. Rant over

Does anybody know if the complainer has invented any tricks himself?

This is exactly the type of comment that NONE should respond to.
While he is entitled to his opinion, and in fact this is the right place to air an opinion, being vitriolic (harsh or corrosive in tone. Definition posted since I had to look it up anyway) is unnecessary. He intended to be inflammatory and get a rise out of you and he succeeded. Most often these comments are made by 12 year olds who have low self esteem.
So, these comments are best left unanswered and left to drift off to the end of the cue by themselves. Angelo, not much out there stronger than parenthood and authorship, so I understand the draw to respond, but like they say, never argue with a pig. You both get dirty but he likes it. Just my 2 cents. |

Interesting.
After I made my observation about the issue there the thread was deleted as maybe it should have been. My comment was,( I am remembering it as best I can, since the thread is now deleted). "I would really love to see the illusions that some of the posters here have created that were accepted and sold by a major magic company. Heck, by any company ".
Maybe those that went a bit overboard in their comments realized it and asked to have the thread removed? |
