Share the magic! ***** A vintage Tricks, Co item, based on Tenyo's classic What's Next spot card. This version was released by Tricks, Co in the 1970's and has not been available for about 35 years. In essence, it is a square-shaped, shrunken version of What's Next, and because it is square, the optical illusion of seeing extra faces of a die (as the card is turns over four times) is superior to the illusion created by the rectangular What's next apparatus. If you are unfamiliar with the effect, it goes like this: a square plaque (about 4 inches on each side) is shown -- it looks like a flattened die, with a single spot on the face. The plaque is turned over to show the reverse side, and there are four spots on that side, then it is turned again to show three spots, and once again turned to show six spots. This may briefly fool the audience, but then they see that it is just an optical illusion, as your fingers are covering different parts of the plaque, sometimes showing spots and sometimes hiding them. But in the end, the card is shown to actually have three on one side, and six on the other. Unlike the Tenyo What's Next effect, this does not have the added climax of eight spots on a side. but it is still a great little effect and even more, a hard to find collectable from the beginning years of Tricks Co, Ltd. This item is very rare now especially in the ENGLISH box with original instructions, and this one is absolutely MINT condition -- no price stickers or sticker adhesive residue, and absolutely zero damage/wear to the package. The props and instructions are equally MINT -- props are unused, instructions are clean and undamaged. This is the nicest example of this effect I have ever come across.... Amazing it looks so good after 35-40 years! Collectors, don't hesitate! +++++++++++ ***** Yes, we will combine multiple eBay wins into a single shipment to help lower the overall shipping costs.
