Effect

Unbroken by Tenyo Magic is a visual trick where a magician appears to break a mirror and then magically restores it. The performer covers the mirror, smashes it with a nut, and then waves their hand to make the mirror whole again. The effect is striking and creates a moment of surprise for the audience.

Full details

Unbroken is part of Tenyo's 2025 range. The trick involves a mirror, a nut, and a cover. The magician pretends to break the mirror, but with a magical gesture, the mirror appears fully restored. The props require some assembly when first purchased, similar to putting together a small kit. The effect is designed for visual impact, making it ideal for small group performances.

Who should consider the trick

This trick is best for magicians who perform in parlor or table settings. It works well for single performances rather than repeated shows due to the reset time. Those who enjoy visual magic with a simple premise will appreciate Unbroken. It is not recommended for fast-paced close-up routines or large stage shows.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The method is straightforward, but the trick requires careful handling. The reset takes a few minutes, making it impractical for quick repetitions. Assembly is needed when first opening the box, but the instructions guide the process. The performance itself is not technically demanding, but timing and presentation are key.

What magicians say

AlakazamMagicUK describes Unbroken as "wicked" and "very deceptive." They note that the effect looks convincing even up close. However, they caution that the reset time makes it better for single performances rather than multiple repetitions in a row. They suggest it works best in parlor settings or for casual performances with friends and family.

The hosts also mention that the trick is typical of Tenyo's clever thinking, offering a unique visual moment. They recommend it for magicians who want a striking effect without complex sleight of hand.
