Jeniver Haselgrove designed this Trick-Opening Box which can
be opened or closed by a mysterious mechanism. Already the old Egyptians had knowledge
about this mechanism and they used it closing the pyramids. Moveable pieces block inside
the centre part with the initials of the designer (H + J) after correct moving or they
