Call a plumber to unclog it, once you get the bill for it you will not be clogging it up again.

What's a cork? I need an injector or something, any good suggestion?

You could try caustic soda but be very careful, the clue is in the word 'caustic'. Plumbers have various acid-based compounds but I suspect they aren't on sale to you or I. Reluctant loos are usually a symptom of some kind of obstruction in the drain, further down. It might be worth getting Dyno-Rod or similar to come in and jet out your drain? (I'm not a plumber by the way, but I do have some experience of reluctant drains and subsequent loo problems). Hope this helps.

A cork is something you may find in the top of a Green(er) bottle of wine.

A little detective work & i've found the device mate...
"Luigi's - The World's Best Toilet Plunger: Big, Bad, Powerful. Clears all blockages due to powerful air hole"
@carbolysis , I would have a bucket on "standby" to put it in after use... That unit isn't going to be too "savoury" after it's intended function.

The OP is to lazy to check his links.
My plumber has a great gadget he sticks down the gurgler when it's blocked, an apprentices arm for starters then with a auger if he / she can't reach down far enough.

The device you linked looks like it would break up any obstruction & send it on it's way with flushing?
