This
is J C Sum’s first complete book on original illusions &
presentations. Since its release in Jul 2004, 'Illusionary
Departures' has received rave reviews on the content and
production quality of the book, from magicians/ illusionists
in 30 countries.
J
C shares a small treasury of illusions straight out of his
professional repertoire and material he has developed for
clients over the past eight years.
The book features
over twenty illusions with carefully thought out designs,
methodologies and presentation plots that take into
consideration motivation, logic and credibility in the
performance of illusion.
All
the illusions were created for the working performer. 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.
'Illusionary
Departures' features 120 pages of illusion construction
plans as well as full illusion presentations.
