I owned It!!
As with all Tenyo products this one is one of their best and unfortunately unavailable. The only draw back is that the serrounding strip brakes away and comes un-glue after several uses. Nonetheless, the mentalist effect is completely undetectable and mesmerizing to audiences and close up spectators alike. There is only one magic shop who still carries them and they are in Belgium, named Mephysto.

Card Go Revisited
This is a very nice item from El Duco, and although there is no mention of it in the instructions it is clearly based on the old Jack Hughes Card Go. The quality is better than the Jack Hughes version and the routine includes a nice twist that allows you to vanish the card instantly and then have it appear in an envelope. The card can even be signed.
This is certainly a nice looking prop and one of the better things that El Duco makes. The only issue I found with it was causing the card to vanish takes a bit of practice since the release requires a tilt action rather than moving a pin as in the older version. But otherwise it works everytime and the card vanish is smooth and accurate.
The whole unit packs flat for transporting.

WOW
This trick is a real eye opener. Good quality and workmanship. The only thing is giving a reason for having to put the wrong card in the plastic sleeve in the first place. As with most tricks of this type you can only perform it once to a group, unless you have another WOW. Other than that I have had nothing but great reactions to the trick.

STar Trick
As usual this is ver clever original magic from Mentalism Unlimited. The poster is very well done on heavy paper so it will last a long time. The force is very clever and is done right in front of your spectator. The reveal of the chosen star is great and everything is clean at the end.
Very effective original magic.

Great for Collectors, but not pratical for regular use
Like the other reviewer, I bought and later sold this one. It is a great trick and top quality production.
But the angles are terrible for even a small stage. Like Houdini’s Elephant Vanish, you have to be in the dead center of the theater to see inside. The rest of the audience has to take your word that something cool happened.
As far as doing it for close-up in a restaurant or walk around, it’s just to much to carry. Plus, the chances of it getting "dinged" are pretty good.
Still, it is a darn good trick. Just don’t buy it if you plan on adding it to your act.

Lay Audiences Love It.
I booked my wife to be a walk around magician at a Green Bay Packers Public Shin Dig at Lambau. She had never done magic before, but is a fast learner. This is one of the two tricks she did and totally killed. Very bright and visual prop.

A piece of history
Yes, it works. NO batteries or computers. It’s full of springs, strings, gears, and other magical stuff.
It’s a bit fiddly to keep adjusted, but that’s a part of the fun. Consider introducing it as a piece of history – it antedates video games and computers. Try showing it with the doll unclothed, and the screens removed, so that your audience can see the internal workings. When you start it up, deliberately adjust it a bit (even if it’s running smoothly)… then let the audience join in the fun of watching him actually hit the target with a real arrow.
My audience actually asked "How does it know where the target is?".
A note: This is available as a kit, or as an almost-assembled version. The price difference is small, and the kit is NOT easy. Get the almost-assembled version, and you’ll only need a half-hour or so to finalize it. Also, get the storage/display box – it’s very nice woodwork, and makes the presentation more special.
4 stars, since not everyone will have a routine for what is essentially a replica of an antique toy from medieval Japan.

Almost perfect
The original version (circa 1584) required some pre-work. This version is much improved – no pre-work or set up of any kind.
There’s a major plus to this kind of effect – it occurs in the spectator’s hand, and leaves him holding the beads. Since he touches the items, it seems all the more impossible.
4 stars instead of 5, since you can’t be a complete chimpanzee with this. Just work with it a while before presenting it, so you can do it smoothly. It looks and feels good in your hands and in the spectator’s, and you’ll be able to do it over and over with any crowd.
