Canopic Jar Ritual by Francois Danis

The Cork Penetration was invented by Eddy Taytelbaum and there have been many versions over the years including these ones.  As is often the case Eddy’s version is still the gold standard but this is a very nice set from the talented Francois Danis.

Most versions of this effect have a hole in the card but that is not always the case and Francois’s uses a complete card.  In Fact, Francois has gone the extra mile and created some custom cards of the Pharaoh and his wife and blended it in with an interesting, if a little gory, story 🙂

This looks great in your collection and works perfectly too.

Effect: “The city of Thebes was mourning the loss of Pharaoh and his wife who had died at the same time from a terrible disease. Their faces covered by mud, men and women were lying in the street of Thebes throwing dust on their bodies. Bands of crying women were walking in the street hitting their chests and yelling all around their despair…”

It is with this patter that the Magician explains the embalming ritual as it was done in ancient Egypt. To illustrate his words, he made a card representing the Pharaoh, or a card representing his wife passes through a canopic jar in impossible conditions. Here are splendid props made to perform a great miracle for your audience. The frame is made with ebony wood and maple inlay all around the edges. The golden trim and the medium gloss lacquer give a great look to this frame. The canopic jars are turned from ash tree. The carrying case is made of beautiful thin oak plywood, all the props are hand made. Each set is numbered and signed and comes with fully detailed instructions.

This effect is for the performer who likes to tell story, and make his audience travel in history and in the outer world. A great item to collect and to perform with!
