The Curse of the Sphinx by N8 Quality Magic Tricks (5425)

Exclusively available at Dynamite Magic Shop in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

A beautifully crafted set that allows for a stunning routine.

You show a beautiful “stage” on all sides and tell that in ancient Egypt, about 2500 years before Christ, treasures were kept in various places, including in the pyramids where the deceased Pharaohs were “buried”. However, people were always looking for these treasures, with the intention of making a fortune for themselves.

If people never returned from their treasure hunt, something would have happened to them, and they would usually have been picked up by the pyramids’ guards. You offer to tell the audience what would happen to these thiefs;

You show a wooden doll representing the man who was caught attempting to enter a pyramid, you place him on the “stage” and place a tube with holes (a cage) over it so that he cannot escape. To withdraw the person from the outside world, a chest was built around the whole (you place a second solid tube over this first tube) and a lid was placed on top of the whole so that the person was completely locked inside. However, there was a sphinx that could transmit a curse to these thieves and it was always called in to solve these kinds of problems. But that was immediately a definitive solution. You now take a nice sphinx statue and place it with the face towards the captured thief. After the curse was pronounced, the lid was removed from the chest and the outer tube was removed, the thief was no longer visible through the holes. You lift the tube and the thief is gone forever and will never be able to steal treasures again. The doll is really nowhere to be found. You can show everything on all sides if you want!

You will receive this truly beautiful, completely handmade set complete with everything you need. The ingenious mechanism takes almost all of the work off your hands so that you can focus on the story (the above is just one possible variant).

Only 100 copies were made and you will receive the complete set including a numbered certificate and English instructions.
