Tenyo is a long standing magic company from Japan. Their props are favorites with many magicians and are very collectable. I've had a couple of pieces in the past, but I've always thought they reeked of 'gimmick' so I never have used them. For me, magic with every day objects or things which can pass as everyday objects are always better than special magic prop looking objects. But you may like their stuff, that's something you will have to decide for yourself. But, to answer your question directly, but Asian Version probably means that the instructions are in Japanese, Korean, Chinese or all three or more. Good luck!

You are quite welcome. And, I used to use Tenyo's Next of Boxes for a coin routine, but I bobbled the set and that was when I dropped them. That is an example of how their stuff can be very cool, but once those boxes hit the floor there was no recovery. Also, I've never been to Japan, but I understand that Tenyo has magic counters in a lot of department stores and that is how they got their start. A lot of japanese magicians got their start working for Tenyo behind those counters. Have fun.

Pun unintended. I dropped them physically when I bobbled them and then drooped--i.e. took them out--from my act!

Hi again.Great story.Before I buy any of the tenyo tricks I always study the videos of the trick and try to work out how its done.Some you can work out but some are really clever and that's the ones I go for because I have to know the secret.Just bought 4D Surprise very clever idea I think and its baffled all Ive shown it to.All the best for now.Dave.

Most Tenyo stuff is very self working and easy to understand. You won;t, and shouldn't need, a video to go with every prop you buy. Double underline and exclamation point for anything Tenyo.

Hi Dave6, and welcome!
You may know this already, but scroll down lower and you'll find an entire section here on The Café devoted to Tenyo, along with links to some incredible Tenyo websites.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

No prob! Enjoy. Tenyo is a world of its own. For the most part, totally impractical to perform in the real world, but they are truly marvelously engineered pieces of wonder...and addictive. If you are prone to collecting...beware. You will have found another drainage source for your wallet.
