The Stones of Khufu - Magic Wagon
The photos really do not do justice to this very elaborate piece of magic apparatus! This is, without question, one of the finest and most exquisitely detailed "Atomic Stock Pile" effects ever produced. It is absolutely stunning in appearance!
Each block measures approximately 6cms wide, 1.8cms high and 3cms deep. The platform measures approximately 12.5cms wide, 4.5cms high and 7cms deep. The hoop measures approximately 8cms in diameter. The entire outfit is extremely detailed and each set has been painstakingly and individually hand-crafted by our own exclusive artist.
Our special thanks to Mr. Simon Corneille for suggesting the ideas & consultations and for writing the instructions & routine.

Re: The Stones of Khufu - Magic Wagon
I purchased one….but take some time to arrive to Chile....one thing that I see in the video that is different from the classic versión is the bottom block shape…..not sure if this is good or not:
Pros: allow for more intricated and imposible arrangements of the blocks.
Contras: you cannot openly show the bottom block.
After Simon clarification I have to say that I was wrong thinking that the lower block is different.….Simon explained that you can show lower block at the beginning like I do in my video.

I've given this illusion a little more time to enjoy it
Re: The Stones of Khufu - Magic Wagon
Excellent performance, Olaf! I liked Simon's too.

After 3 weeks, still 25 copies unsold... That's 1/3 of the production.... How's that possible?

Re: The Stones of Khufu - Magic Wagon
I think Magic Wagon might not do a release this coming Sunday "just a hunch" with no new posts on the MC for 10 days now

Re: The Stones of Khufu - Magic Wagon
I think many have stopped buying MW. Seems just the hard core collectors buy the best and leave the rest. If you and me would have bought one there would only be 23 left. I like it but would only be a shelf display and toy for me to play with I would likely never show it. I am surprised you didn't buy one.

Re: The Stones of Khufu - Magic Wagon
Are we sure that 75 were produced? I was thinking 50, not 75.
In any case, I am quite surprised that these are lingering on. Perhaps summer vacation cost and other concerns are causing the lack of interest.
I agree that those disappointed with past MW purchases as well as the angle concern (which is not really a problem) may be issues.
What many do not realize is that it is one of the most delightfully unique magic releases in a long time; from MW or anywhere else.
I have always assumed that most of the MW customers buy the releases for the reason Richard mentions here. I can’t imagine anyone taking this on the road. MW makes collectibles, not props for incorporating into an act with some exceptions of course.
And I am also shocked that Rob didn’t jump on this one! It’s right up his alley!!

I'm sure it was 75 in the beginning. When I early looked it up 75 Stones of Khufu were available
I agree that this is an extraordinary and very well done trick in the history of Magic Wagon
In small circle or for single persons demonstrated most Magic Wagon tricks are well suitable
However, I am also very surprised that there is such a low demand for this beautiful trick !?
Re: The Stones of Khufu - Magic Wagon
It's still available...so it's been enough time for me to watch those interesting videos and consider a purchase. I didn't know this effect before and was quite baffled when suddenly anti-gravity came into play . It is my first Magic Wagon prop, very beautifully made and I think it will be fun to demonstrate the incredible properties of these mysterious stones from ancient Egypt to your spectators.
