Vintage Tenyo Magic Co. Illusion

Item Description

Up for sale is a vintage 1970s first-edition production of the famous "Chinese Sticks" illusion (Model T-27), manufactured in Japan by the highly collectible Tenyo Magic Company.

When performed correctly, this classic routine leads the audience to believe that two independent sticks are somehow physically or magnetically connected by a red tassel string, despite the performer showing them completely separated. This is an authentic piece of mid-century Japanese magic history, highly sought after by Tenyo catalog completists.

Please inspect the high-resolution photographs to evaluate the physical components, cords, and box condition details. You will receive the exact magic set pictured.
