The Blurb

Can you manipulate destiny?!

A baffling game they simply can’t win!

Five strings extend from an envelope, but only one string is attached to the winning bell at the bottom. Allow your spectator to choose four of the strings, and the final string remains for you. Pull each of the selected strings upward, and show that they are all loose strings – none of them are attached to the winning bell. The single string they left for you is the winner! Every selection is freely made by the spectator. Even if they decide to change strings midway, they still cannot find the winning string.

Everyone is fascinated by the concept of destiny, and that is clearly the theme of this baffling magic trick!

Jheff's Guide

WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props

HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
It’s accurate enough. It doesn’t mention the dimensions of the “envelope” which is about 4″x2″.

SET-UP AND RE-SET:
The strings have to be arranged in the plastic pocket. It must be done away from, and before, a performance. But it takes a minute or so to do this.

SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Walkaround, Internet

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This is Tenyo’s version of the “smash ‘n stab plot or, if you prefer, Bank Nite. Though the props may look inorganic, they actually do look like a toy or game you’d buy at a Japanese store. This is a lot of fun to perform and, surprisingly, a good investment.
