Egyptology 101 - An Effect

Postby Lyndon Webb » Mar 29th, '08, 23:04



If you have read the Bargain bit this might make Sense.
If not enjoy!

The Mage Takes out a Small Brass egyptian looking box, and asks if the Spectator is Familiar with Hieroglyphs and Egytian sigils.
Here i have a small piece of muslin on which are various Hieroglyphs that are supposed to bring luck and Mystical powers to the Sitter!
There is also
The Ankh - Known as the key of life.
The Scarab - associated with the movement of the sun and its daily resurrection.
The the eye of Ra' Or Amun-Ra - He commanded sky, earth, underworld.

Now i would like you to look at them, even handle them if you would like then lay them down in a straight line on the Muslin - Did you feel drawn to one of them? Do you like one more than the others?

Say out loud which one it was - The ?????? - The Mage reveals that he already knew which one it would be and proceeds to give a small reading using the sigil.

I have cut a lot of bits and bobs out that i would usually say just to make easier reading.

As for the Method - If you cant work it out, a Thousand Curly Wurly Wrappers and i might share it.

There's at least one way to do this; fairly obvious.

To a man like yourself Peter this should be blatantly easy.
I found the Scarab in a Cahrity shop Yesterday - Been after a small one for ages :D

Thanx Guys!
