While we wait for the release of the Tenyo and Fiedler books thought it might be fun to highlight some books that Tenyo fans might enjoy. From my experience Tenyo collectors typically like off beat methods, unique puzzles and intricate toys. Below are a few selections I pulled out of my library, would be interested to learn of others that you would reccomend.
1) "Make Your Own 3D Illusions" by Gianni Sarcone and Marie-Jo Weber. This is a fun book of punch out puzzles, optical illusions and tricks. I know many here would enjoy this book. 2) "The Magic Show" by Mark Setteducati. Mark was the man behind getting Magic Works started and is a creative genius. This is a very cool book that is designed to perform tricks... some will fool you as well. Highly reccomended. 3) "Mechanical Toys... How Old Toys Work" by Athelstan and Kathleen Sipilhaus. A fascinating look at intricate old mechanical toys and details on the various mechanisms. 4) "Pentamagic" by Pentagram. A graphically cool book of illusions and magic tricks. 5) "The Book of Ingenious and Diabolical Puzzles" by Jerry Slocum and Jack Batermans. I love this book! A wonderful visual overview of many incredible puzzles, including sections on puzzle locks, puzzle boxes, trick knifes and many more. Most of these will have to be sourced on the used market, but worth a look. John |

John and everyone
Here is one of the best 3D illusions I have ever seen. When I looked at the cover of that first book posted above it reminded me of this one. You really want to check this out. You can download and print it for free. Doesn't get any better than this one. Best to use like Kodak or HP photo paper it is just the right stiffness. Although you can for temporary use try 24 LB all purpose printer. Somewhere on this same site there is all three colors of this but haven't found it again yet. http://www.grand-illusions.com/opticalil......llusion/ Read the instructions and fold it correctly this as a keeper. http://www.grand-illusions.com/images/ar......agon.pdf Richard

Yes that is very cool for sure. Similar model is also included in the first book above. Quite uncanny.

In book number five Richard, I think you would enjoy the section on trick/puzzle padlocks.

Best part about this one is you can print as many as you want to give out to kids or adults.
I have one I made that printable that is a large dice works the same and looks really good.

Found it!
It has all 4 colors Ivory, Blue, Red, and Green. Just carefully cut off the Wizard and fold it use one piece of scotch tape in the back to hold it. The color ones was a after thought but came out pretty good. Has instructions so it is a finished complete illusion. I'll send it in a few

Again with that use 6.5 to 10 mil photo paper works good but you can try regular paper to see it work.

Here's a stunning optical illusion called "Turning the tables".
http://www.planetperplex.com/en/item/turning-the-tables/ Below is a pdf of the illusion. You print out 2 copies (thicker paper is better); use one to present, the other you cut out one of the tabletops to place over the other on the present copy to show they are indeed the same. It's like a magic trick (or you could present it as one). http://www.instructables.com/files/orig/......2T5D.pdf |

As well as the TENYO and Lubor Fiedler books. Don't forget that the brilliant Angelo Carbone is at work on a book as well!
