What's inside the teapot used by assassins to poison their victims?

The teapot has a unique design that allows the person holding the teapot to manipulate the flow as desired .

The same pot of tea, but when poured into two cups, will give two different solutions. One is regular tea, the other is a highly toxic substance that can cause the victim to die in seconds.

This is the killer teapot, also known as the magic teapot . It is something that was once thought to have a mysterious origin, even "cursed" because it caused its owners to meet mysterious and unexplained deaths.

In fact, the killer teapot has a fairly simple way of working, which is based on air pressure to produce the desired solution . The first secret of the teapot lies in the second container inside, which has the same output as the first one.

It allows the teapot to hold two different and completely separate solutions. When the user tilts the teapot, depending on the situation, it will give the corresponding solution according to the original intention.

To do this , the teapot has two secret holes, which are attached to two containers . When the user covers these holes with his or her finger, the solution cannot escape from the respective container. Thanks to that, the user can manipulate the flow as desired.

Historically, the assassin teapot is said to have originated in China and dates back to the Ming Dynasty. Assassins would essentially use this teapot to poison their victims, but also ensure their own safety.

However, there are many theories about the origin of the killer teapot. Some sources claim that it was created by a secret society of assassins, while others believe that it was invented by a tea lover who created it to blend two different types of tea.

In fact, if we pour the killer teapot without blocking any of the holes, the pot will release the two types of tea stored inside at the same time, creating an interesting blend. It is for this reason that the killer teapot has become a popular collectible item today, especially for tea lovers or antiques.
