The Mummy Mystery is a great beginner magic trick and man is it cheap. It is an awesome bang for your buck. I always have loved this trick and I have been playing with this for a lifetime. This trick is designed for children and younger ones, but this will bring smiles to any adult. You can repeat this trick over and over and no one will ever figure out the secret method.

You spectator is given three pieces of plastic in the shape of a mummy. One is red, one is yellow and one is blue. The spectator is also given a black plastic coffin as he turns around and into which the spectator places one of the mummy inside and covers it with the coffin lid. You cannot see through it, but every time, the performer is able to guess which color mummy is in the coffin.

The trick has such a simple method, but it is so clever and so fooling. You will be performing this trick in 1 minute after reading the few sentences of instructions that come on a small sheet of paper.

The ad copy for this $4.50 trick claims

The magician displays a small "coffin" and three plastic mummies-red, yellow and blue. He then turns his back and a member of the audience places any mummy into the coffin, then hides the other two. The magician turns around and instantly knows which mummy is in the coffin.

The description is 100% accurate.

There is a Mummy Mystery Deluxe which is a bit better quality than the $4.50 version and that Deluxe version costs $12.50.

It’s a great gift for any aspiring kid magician and it is a great piece to play with friends, family and youngsters any time.
