[[E. P. Hingston]] played a major role in managing and promoting 19th century magicians. He was also a friend of Mark Twain and manager of a rival humorist Artemus Ward (Charles Farrar Browne).
+
  
Hingston chaperoned [[John Henry Anderson]] through England and Australia, traveled with [[Robert Heller]], [[Dr. Lynn]] and several other magicians.
+
The name of the company originates from the founder's father, [[Shokyokusai Tenyo]], who was a magician.
+
Hingston originally intended for the medical profession but launched into a literary career writing for various magazines including Chambers London Journal.
+
+
Between 1856 and 1863 Hingston worked for the "Wizard of the North", John Henry Anderson, on tours of Australia and the United States as agent and general manager. Hingston was as great a magician with his pen  as the Wizard of the North was with his wand. Much of Anderson's success could be attributable to Hingston flowery language used in advertisements that appear in papers and billboards displaying tempting word pictures.

In the book "Travels and Adventures of Dr. Lynn", it tells about a practical joke played upon Brigham Young, during a visit to Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1864 which was assisted by Hinston.

[[Shigeru Sugawara]] joined Tenyo in 1967.
+
In 1864, Hingston begins managing [[Robert Heller]]. Hingston convinces Heller to basically 'lighten up' his act and he may have also been the one to encourage him to add his music to the show.

Up until his death in 1867, Hingston was the manager for Dr. Lynn.
