Magic Works Crap

Would you like to download .pdfs with the secret instructions for many of Tenyo's most classic effects? Before I tell you how to do it, let me fill you in on a little history (from Tenyo World):

Milton Bradley, a leading American toy maker, began in 1993 licensed sales of Tenyo products under the "Magic Works" brandname. Advertised nationwide on television, these products soon became bestsellers in the U.S. market. Soon thereafter, Milton Bradley's parent company, Hasbro, undertook to market the line throughout the world. Mark Setteducati created the idea of Magic Works.

As it turns out, Hasbro upload the instructions to all of its products, including Magic Works. Therefore, using the list on the Tenyo World page to get the name of the Magic Works trick from the Tenyo trick, you can visit here (scroll down to "Magic Works") and download the corresponding .pdfs and learn how the tricks are done.

It's unfortunate that these secrets are publically available (I assume that the instructions to Mac King's tricks most probably will be, too, as the Fundex Games, Inc. site has a similar page and philosophy), but we might as well take advantage of it. You probably can't build any of these tricks with materials you currently own, so being able to see how these tricks works should make you a more educated consumer of classic Tenyo magic.
