Mummy Mystery (Deluxe)

Description

Effect : The magician displays three Mummies of three different colors in White, Gray, and Black. The Mummies are handed over to a spectator, along with a box (Coffin), and the spectator is invited to place any Mummy they chose into the Coffin, close it, and place the Coffin on the table. All this is done while the performer’s back is towards the audience.

The other two Mummies are concealed by the spectator, so that there is no clue to the color of Mummy that was placed inside the Coffin. Now, the performer turns back to face the audience, and without touching or even going near the coffin, or asking any questions, is able to reveal the color of the mummy inside the coffin without fail!

This is a very old effect, originally described in a book by Blackstone several decades ago. Over the years there has been several models produced of this effect. This plastic model is one of the best available anywhere, with a realistic 3-D sculptured sarcophagus, and carved “mummies” in simulated marble, slate and ebony. This model does full justice to this classic effect!
