I have always hated the Egyptian Mummy illusion. It is a strange premise and the original is too
angle sensitive for most stages, but Dan has done an excellent job reworking this effect for a
modern audience and limited stage.
While I don't see myself building this illusion, I have
gleaned a lot of ideas - both in method and presentation. I appreciate the simplicity of Dan's
builds. He presents the illusion as it would work with a very limited budget and a modest shop.
Furthermore, Dan spends a lot of time with small staging details that can make or break an illusion
show. As presented, this illusion could be performed on a very small stage and might even make a
good feature for a Halloween show.
For anyone interested in illusions, there is a lot
packed into this lesson.
