Synopsis
"Illusionary Departures" is a treasury of original illusion designs and presentation plots from J C Sum, one of Asia's most successful illusionists & illusion designers. This is the latest edition of the book that was first released in 2004. Over the last 8 years, the book has been revised, updated, expanded and is now J C's BIGGEST illusion book to date! It contains 35 illusions & stage routines with carefully thought out designs, methodologies and presentation plots that take into consideration motivation, logic and credibility in the performance of illusion. Illusions detailed inside the book cover multiple genres including penetrations, appearances, vanishes, transpositions and escapes. Also shared are a variety of original stage routines such as a logical time travel act, motivated torn & restored effect and a silent theatrical piece with plot and progressive structure.In one of the most valuable chapters in the book, J C shares his original approach to designing and building a modern illusion base. His base is highly deceptive and sturdy but is very lightweight compared to traditionally built bases. J C and his onstage partner, 'Magic Babe' Ning, utilize this cutting edge base design in several of their illusions featured in their live shows and on TV across the world. All the illusions were created for the working performer (from new workers to seasoned professionals) and have been prototyped, built and audience-tested in professional shows staged over the years since 1998. All props are designed to pack down effectively for transport and most of the illusions can be performed surrounded or with audiences on three sides. Many of the illusions can be built inexpensively and are suitable even for beginners looking to get started in the field of grand illusions."Illusionary Departures 2012" features 145 pages of detailed illusion construction plans as well as full illusion presentations, including:A Walk Through The WineryAn original penetration illusion Visual DisplacementThe passing of a person through four vertical solid steel bars The Time MachineA 'cerebral' stage routine performed to a time-travel plot Reinvent the Sub-TrunkEight different variations & presentation ideas for the 'Substitution Trunk'Creation Of LifeA paradigm of powerful illusion presentationUltimate Victory CartonsAn inexpensive appearance illusion for stageBlack Art Case TableA practical transport solution for a B.A. utilityFourth Dimensional ExitThe magical vanishing of a company of dancers/ performers using a new illusion utilityDeceptive Base Work Original thoughts, philosophy, design and fabrication process for a modern baseCrystal Striptease The magical vanish & reappearance of a girl while being stripped of her clothesNew-Age Spirit CabinetThe manifestation of inanimate objects with a kicker endingSweepstakesWhen motivation and combination collideBack Door AppearanceThe magical appearance of a person(s) in a special event settingGraffiti GirlAn audience participation illusion with a girl from graffiti appearanceMotion Delayed Vanish/ AppearanceAn original application of an illusion utilityModern Flight Case TableAn ATA case-table for working performersBranded A corporate logo magically appears in a flash of fireChain ReactionAn instant escape with a costume change kickerHiding In Plain SightA sucker comedy teleportationGhost CabinetMultiple presentations for a versatile prop for a multi-cast illusion production number12-Girl CabinetA simplified and modern Jarrett 21-Person Cabinet, "Illusionary Departures" is a treasury of original illusion designs and presentation plots from J C Sum, one of Asia's most successful illusionists & illusion designers.
