Mummified Divide by Magic Wagon

This was the final release by Magic Wagon in 2023 and I have not heard anything from them since 🙁

However, this is a real beauty.  The reviews on The Cafe are a mixed bag – some people love this and others hate it, but for me you have to embrace the fact they have created a perfect working, miniature version of the most iconic magic illusion of all time 🙂

It is easy to perform and the props look amazing – something Magic Wagon have excelled at for 18+ years. I personally would have preferred if they had used a more realistic flesh based figurine such as Cleopatra but that is a small point.

One of the nice things about taking a few months before I add Magic Wagon items to my site, is that it gives Simon Corneille time to produce a video. And this time it was well worth the wait as Simon has produced a real treat for the eyes and mind.  It does include other props from Magic Wagon that are not included with this release but Simon really knocks it out of the park this time – great job Simon 🙂

I don’t know what the future holds for Magic Wagon, but this is certainly one of their more memorable and interesting props.  Great job guys!

Effect: An elegant cabinet along with a mummy are displayed. The mummy is shown to be perfectly solid and is openly placed into the cabinet. The cabinet is then closed while the head and feet of the mummy remain in full view. Next, four brass rods are shown and pushed right through the cabinet from top to bottom, securing the mummy on all sides. Now, a brass blade is shown and immediately see-sawed back and forth through a slit running across the middle of the cabinet, apparently cutting the mummy in half! All is then reversed and the mummy is shown to be unharmed and still perfectly solid!

It’s a stunning visual magic effect and has been inspired by one of the world’s greatest stage illusions!

The entire outfit is extremely detailed and because of the method involved and the long artistic manufacturing process, it has taken over 9 months to complete this release. It is, without question, one of the finest and most exquisitely detailed effects we have ever produced. The photos really do not do justice to this very elaborate piece of magic apparatus!

The cabinet measures approximately 5.5 cms wide by 9.2 cms tall and 16 cms deep.

Please note: the slightly larger Anubis’s blade as shown in the third picture is also included.

Special thanks to Mr. Tony Curtis for coming up with the name for this effect.
