The Premium Illusion Design Series is the most comprehensive and detailed instruction on illusion design and performance in the market today.
Each series focuses on a single illusion and goes into the details of the construction, design, performance and psychology of the illusion.
“Shadow Appearance” is J C Sum’s one-person illusion appearance and opens his full solo illusion show.
The illusion can be performed in the center of an open stage. It is a completely self-contained illusion and all mechanics are activated by the person appearing on an open platform.
The illusion features J C’s original approach and fabrication of a very deceptive full illusion base as well as overall prop design. Of equal value is his original cloth-drop system that can be adapted to wide array of props. The cloth-drop system is self-contained within the design of the prop and is activated from within the load chamber.
J C’s specification for the material-combination used ensures that the entire illusion is very lightweight for its size. The illusion can pack completely flat for transport.
In this premium design series, J C shares his detailed building plans for the illusion prop, cloth-drop system and case. In the 50-minute video explanation, J C highlights prop design features as well as the exact technical handling and performance of the illusion.
