BLINDED


The Worker's Illusion Appearance System' 

*BEST SELLER*

Original Design by J C Sum

Fabricated by Concept:Magic


An Example of One Presentation/ Effect:

The illusionist displays a modern looking illusion cabinet center stage. The prop starts off with its back facing the audience, to show that there is nothing behind it. It is then revolved 180 degrees, displaying a closed white Venetian blind covering the entire front of the cabinet

The blind is rotated open to reveal an empty interior except for a placard of a corporate logo, mounted on a metal stand.

The illusionist gestures dramatically and the logo starts to float up towards the top of the cabinet. He raises the Venetian blind and removes the metal stand. With the blind still raised halfway up, the logo floats down.  

The blind is lowered completely but it is kept open so that the audience can still see the floating logo inside the cabinet. A sequin cloth at the top of the cabinet is released so that it drops down and covers the front of the cabinet and Venetian blind.

The cabinet is revolved 360 degrees and the front and back sequin covers are ripped away to reveal the magical appearance of a CEO holding onto the logo.

'Blinded' was designed as a:

  • Magical Appearance of the Illusionist or Assistant(s) after a floating photograph of the person(s)

  • Magical Appearance of a Company CEO/ VIP for Corporate Events after a floating logo effect, showing that the company 'rises above the rest'. (As shown in the above photo sequence.) 'Blinded' is a great follow-up to 'Transfo-ppearance' if performed as a single one complete corporate opening segment.

  • Logical Finale Illusion to many stage routines. For example:

After a card manipulation routine, a jumbo card floats and magically transforms into a beautiful girl holding a jumbo card castle or a girl dressed as a 'queen'.

After a standard Zombie Ball routine, the silver sphere is placed into the cabinet and floats up & down, side to side. Finally, a girl appears holding the ball.

After a Fearson-style floating cigarette, the cigarette is placed into the cabinet and floats up & down. Finally, the cigarette changes into a girl holding a giant 'No-Smoking' sign.

After a money act, a jumbo bill floats and magically transforms into a beautiful girl in an expensive evening dress.

J C offers dozens of presentational suggestions and applications for this practical illusion.



Introduction:

          J C's highly successful illusion books 'Illusionary Departures', 'The Event Illusionist' and 'Equilateral' have sold hundreds of copies in 33 countries to date. Over the years, he has built a name for himself as a creative mind for designing original illusions that are highly practical for the working performer.

         'Blinded' is the most practical standing illusion appearance in the market today! You end very clean with little for the audience to reconstruct as they can see through the entire cabinet after the appearance of the person(s).

J C recently presented this illusion to make a corporate executive appear in 5 major cities throughout Asia. The illusion was checked in as excess baggage with no issues.

          'Blinded' is a true worker's appearance system for a person. It can be performed completely surrounded and fairly close up. It is a floating object effect that climaxes with the magical appearance of a person(s). The floating system and appearance method is entirely self-contained.

          The ingenious practical design features a highly functional, deceptive and lightweight prop that packs flat into itself! Working professionals and 'Weekend Warriors' will appreciate the modern-looking illusion that looks great but more importantly packs completely flat into itself to transform into an ATA Flight Case. You save at least US$400 on professionally casing your illusion!
