Tiny Plunger: how do you like it?

All right. This got put on my radar because Tenyo is releasing it in their 2016 line in a couple months. I checked out the actual trick and it looks. rather wacky and ripe for mayhem!

Since the original version is pretty much sold out everywhere except the UK (and the conversion to the Pound makes my wallet sad), I figure one of you lucky magicians have the Mathieu Bich version that cost $30-$40.

I do have a few questions regarding it (such as: 'can it work with other decks like. the Contraband deck? Because the compass in the middle looks like a target).

So how is it for you guys? Does it work and handle well? Is it worth it? Or is it another 'toilet trick'?

I do not know finish of Contraband deck but this trick need an air cushion finished, unused deck and need hand sleight.

Tiny plunger is the best ever starts clean ends clean U can use any deck brand new even opened by spectator and best is at the end of the routine spectator picks the card they place in the deck and they shuffle and they can even use the plunger them self and produce there chosen card without U even handling the cards.

No special deck required. Perhaps the world's **** deck won't work, but that's not a problem since you're not working with that **** deck. Excellent routine. Minimal sleight required for full effect. Don't want the full effect (with minimal sleights?) No problem.

This effect is awesome. As a heads up, I didn't purchase this since I figured it out just by watching the routine and thinking about it. But if you can't do that, then absolutely purchase it. It's brilliant on so many levels. I'd like to say more, but I won't, since I feel that the originators of this effect deserve massive props.

I also feel that rickymag's contribution is incorrect or at least incomplete. I would rarely let a spectator wield the plunger, and if I were to let them wield it, the conditions under which they wielded it would be controlled by me. But there is no question that you won't go wrong by learning this.

I pre-ordered mine I wont say where , sorry Theory11 I will always buy from here but I stepped out a few times. Saw the trick on Penn and Teller Fool us it was awesome

Sounds good! Tiny Plunger will stay on my 'want list' until after the holidays, it seems!
Gives me time to see if I can figure out the Tenyo Magic's version of 'Tiny Plunger' and see if different decks can be utilized with it.

The idea would utilize this in a children's hospital. I mean, what kid WOULDN'T want to use a tiny plunger in a magic trick, of all things? The big problem I COULD have is if a child touches the cards, which would then make the deck unusable. So that's a bit why I'm teetering on getting it, despite the amazing effect and humorous routine.

My goal would be to have a spectator sign a card and then find it with said plunger. Blank gaffs are just oh so fun to work with. and they get a parting gift. Stronger effect, I think.

I know what makes the original Tiny Plunger tick, and I'd honestly work on the sleights to make it look as flawless as possible. If it's worth picking up, it's worth going all the way with it. I know several things that the Tenyo version DOES NOT have, and that's throwing a bit of a kink into moving forward as the price difference between the two is significant.

The little plunger is so cool there's no gimmick at all it's now my favorite I have think you love it

I think the main reasons are that it's a weird object, it's "cute" and it's wacky. The playfulness really hits home with audiences. And don't think because it's light-hearted that it doesn't hit hard, because it does. They are genuinely amazed at how the plunger "knows" how to find the card or pick up the right number of cards called for.

The cover also showcases the main characters - Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy - as they embark on their journey through the wardrobe. Their youthful and curious expressions hint at the adventures that await them. The vivid colors used in the artwork, particularly the contrasting blues and whites, create a sense of wonder and enchantment. The cover effectively captures the essence of the story, enticing readers to step into the magical world of Narnia and join the children on their extraordinary journey..

Reviews for "The Evolution of the "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" Book Cover Artwork"

- Jane - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the book cover of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". The illustration looked childish and poorly done. It completely failed to capture the magic and awe of the story. I expected a cover that would transport me to the enchanting world of Narnia, but this one fell short. It's a shame because the book itself is a masterpiece. I would recommend finding an edition with a more captivating cover.

- Mark - 2 stars - The book cover of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" was underwhelming. The artwork seemed outdated and lacked the sophistication that this classic deserves. Additionally, the colors used were dull and did not grab my attention. It's a shame because I believe a well-designed cover can enhance the reading experience. In this case, it left something to be desired. I would suggest exploring alternative editions with more visually appealing covers.

- Sarah - 3 stars - While "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is a beloved story, I found the book cover to be uninspiring. The illustration seemed generic and did not reflect the unique and imaginative world of Narnia. The overall design felt outdated and failed to capture the attention of younger readers. For a story that has captivated generations, I expected a more captivating cover that would entice new readers to embark on this magical journey.
