Hello,

I’ve been given a box of assorted magic – quite a bit of which I believe to be Tenyo – likely from the 1908s. It is a real jumble and needs sorting out to see what is complete and what isn’t – matching instructions to effects etc.

Does anyone have any advice on how to search to learn more about the tricks so I can find out what is in there? Without recognising the alphabet it is proving trickier than I thought to use Google. Searching Ebay and matching the images has been helpful and I have found a couple of that way, but any other ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Spread the items out on a table and post shots here, am sure you will get lot's of help identifying the items

I'm struggling to attach a photo. Trying once more...

This is the initial photo I was sent. I can take more once everything arrives and I've been through it.

How do you attach a photo here?

I'm not sure. There is a box to add an attachment but it doesn't seem to do anything.

If anyone's keen to see it I can email it to you if you drop me a pm.

Alternatively I can try and adjust the file size when I get home to see if that's the trouble!

The easiest way is to upload a photo to a website and then add the link from there. If you want to send me a photo I can add it for you. I will PM you my personal email.

Thank you everyone for your help. The instructions are all in Japanese - apparently that makes them slightly less collectable?

Does this mean they were actually bought in Japan?

David has sent me this list which has been incredibly helpful in my sorting out!
Flash Dice
Telesphere
Chinese Sticks
Zig Zag Cig
Soft Coins
Dynamic Coins ( Cavorting Coins - I found the packaging)
Jumping Gems

I really like the gems and the Cavorting Coins - will definitely have a go with them!

Thanks,

Sarah

Looks like a fun assortment! Be sure to check out Telesphere as well.
