Tenyo 2014: Ghost cards and MRI ・ テンヨー2014年のゴーストカードとマジカルMRI

Today I noticed that one of the stores in Sapporo was selling the new Tenyo props. I was looking for Halloween stuff, but walked home with two new Tenyo tricks instead. I bought the "Magical MRI" and the "Ghost Cards". I considered buying the "4D printer" too, but I will buy that from a different store instead.

今日ハロウィーンに使いたいものを探しに行ったら、東急ハンズでテンヨーの2014年の新作が置いてあった。ゴーストカードとマジカルMRIという新ネタを買って帰った。4次元プリンターも気になったが別の店で買おうかなと考えた。

The Magical MRI has a very clever gimmick. The effect is that the spectator puts things on his side of a metal plate (so you cannot see them) and you manage to figure out what is on the other side. Two dice are included in the box, and you can have the spectator put one of them on his side, with whatever number he wants facing up, and you put the other one on your side showing the same number. The spectator can use both dice on his side, and you can write down what numbers he chose (or just tell him). Basically, you can see things on the other side, so you can have the spectator put other things there too, and an idea with a playing card is described in the instructional leaflet.

マジカルMRIが凄い仕掛けだ。現象は金属の鉄板の後ろに（マジシャンが見えないように）お客さんがものを置く。見えていないはずなのに、マジシャンが何が置いてあるかを当てる。道具にサイコロ2つが付いているからお客さんがサイコロ１つを置いて、マジシャンがもう1個のサイコロをマジシャン側に置いて、同じ数字になる。お客さんが2個をお客さん側において、マジシャンがサイコロの上の目を書いて当てる（言うだけでも大丈夫）。基本的に、マジシャンにちょっと見えているので、サイコロではないものでもマジックできる。解説書にカード当てのやり方１つ書いてある。

You can hand out the metal plate with no fear of anyone discovering anything incriminating. You can hand out the plastic frame too, with fairly little fear of discovery too. There is also a stand to put the frame in, which can also be handled by the spectator.

This trick is my current favorite of the Tenyo 2014 items. It seems like it could be very useful.

鉄板をお客さんに渡しても、ばれる可能性がない。プラスチック製フレームも渡しても（多分）大丈夫だ。フレームのスタンドも特にばれることがない。

2014年のネタの中、これが一番好きだ。色々なように使えそうだ。

The Ghost Cards are a fun effect, and look great on video. You have a few playing cards in your hand and you push a large part of them into your face. You can retrieve the parts that disappeared from behind your head if you want to.

ゴーストカードが面白い現象だ。動画で観たらかなり不思議に見える。トランプ何枚かを持って、顔に刺し込む。顔に入った分は頭の後ろから出すことも出来る。

This trick looks good live too, if you use the little plastic cover thing included. You can do it without the cover too, but then you have to have a fairly large distance between you and the spectator or they will see how the trick is done. The plastic cover is ungimmicked and can be handed out. The cards cannot be handled by the spectator (at least not all of them), neither before you push them into your face nor after. You can push the cards into anything, but things that are soft look best (like meaty parts of your body). The angles are pretty good, though the side of the cards have to be covered at some times. You can have people standing behind you without them seeing how the trick is done (though they will not see the effect either), unless you want to produce the cards from behind your head (which you could still do depending on what clothes you wear).

生で観ても、付いているプラスチックのカバーを使えば、不思議に見える。カバー無しでやっても大丈夫だがお客さんが近かったら、やり方すぐばれる。プラスチックのカバーはギミックではないので、お客さんに渡しても大丈夫だ。カードは刺し込む前にも終わってからでも、手渡しが無理。顔ではなくても、何のものにも刺しても大丈夫だ。やわらかいもの（体の肉の分とか）がきれいに見える。角度に割りと強い。カードの横側を隠さないと行けない時があるがそれくらいだ。後ろに人がいてもばれない（現象は伝わらないけど）。頭の後ろからカードを出すこともやったら、後ろに人がいたらちょっと服のカバーしないと難しい。

I like this trick, it is a funny idea to push cards into your face.

面白いマジックだと思う。変な現象が好きだ。
