Tenyo effects are amazing. They are so clever and imaginative. Unfortunately, they all look like something you got from a kid's magic kit.

Is there any that you'd actually use above the hobbyist level?

Sand Frame, wooden (ala Mikame') or plastic. Each works well and neither looks like a "toy" item.

I would say WHATS NEXT, GORILLA BAR, and CRYSTAL TUBE are excellent for parlor/stage performances.

Prison box, 4D surprise and Telesphere

The Usual Suspect.

4-D Surprise
Magic Maze
Four Nightmares DX

Ultra Tube

Mystery China Box

Mystery China Box is a good one!

Unfortunately, most Tenyo seem to anchor themselves to tabled close-up. If that’s your medium, you have the litany if the Tenyo library at your fingertips.

However, for something like stand up-strolling, there’s a fraction of available options, and less that pack flat.

To which, I’d recommend Dream Psychometry, Mysterious Pocket, Cubio, Tiny Rings. Maybe Mentalist’s Flashcards (I don’t have that one, but it seems like you could do phase 2 standing up).

And MAYBE the new +1, Liar’s Fruit. At least, it seems like it could be done standing up going off the description.

Another "Pro" level effect/routine is combining Tenyo's JUMBO SIDE TRACK with Don Alan's BIG DEAL.
