Yes, this is the ol' Mummy Mystery trick. Remember it? Three colored mummies, one chosen by the spectator and placed into the sarcophogas, the other two hidden from your view. Of course, your "master mental ability" tells you which color is inside the sarcophogas. Produced for years in cheap plastic, it always had a "toy" like look. One company produced a similar model out of wood, a definite improvement, but nothing too special other than it lacked the plastic.

Now Magic Wagon has taken this effect to a new level. Very beautiful using quality props here. When I first saw this it reminded me of something Richard Gerlitz would produce. It is absolutely the best looking version of this effect I have ever seen. The mummies actually look like mummies wrapped in bandages instead of plastic blocks with mummies drawn on top. The sarcophogas is black with cryptic Egyptian carvings finished in gold. Intricate detail and beautiful. The method is the same, but this is something you will be proud to own and display. It actually fits quite well next to the fantastic Gerlitz magic line.

Very cool and fun to own. This is a version I will actually use. Five out of five stars. Good work MW!

Hate to say it, but they still look like toys.

Nicely made toys, but still toys.

I think they look great myself.

They do look great.

For toys.

They look great.


For props.

Does any one know if this prop is being made in all wood by anyone? It is easy to find the version where the mummies are plastic and the sarcphogus is wood.

Doesn't seem like it would be particular tough to make the mummies out of wood.

I'm looking for a moderately priced version.

Are they named Kharis?

Chessmann, I get the reference but not the joke. Or is it just a reference?

Hi everyone,
I would love to have this trick in cast brass or some other really impressive materiala and little bigger than the cheap wooden ones I have. Remember Fabrice Delaure's Egyptian card box that was plastic but cast and heavy like stone, not injection molded.
Please PM me if you have an idea. Some props just look too cheap and toy-ish in a board room. It's like with the 3 inch plastic Mental Logs - the ones you do math with. I had to make them in solid teak wood 12 inches high with engraved numbers in gold to be able to perform the trick in a board room.

Every single item is out of stock ?

I;m not sure why Mgic Wagon even lists things as "Out of Stock".

Everything they make is in very limited runs (around 50 generally) and they sell out within the day of release. The web site becomes just a bit of history of past effects and they shoudl label it as such instead of making it seem as though people can order them if only they were not out of stock.

They are out of stock and will be forever.
