I'm not sure how you can see the pharaoh's curse, as its shown to the audience near the beginning of this ep, and not know how the 'trick' is performed. Maybe if you have no real background knowledge of the sci-fi/horror/supernatural genre. Even if you are a child, the episode continues to hit you on the head with blatant clues. & the trope of 'take his word literally!' where a 'mysterious' character tells the protagonist the truth, even if he's short on details.
This is a reoccurring problem re: most episodes in this reboot. :/
