Over the last eight years, J C has been tinkering and tweaking, and what you’ve got now is his BIGGEST illusion book yet! Packed with 35 illusions and stage routines, each one is a masterpiece of design, methodology, and presentation, all while keeping motivation, logic, and credibility firmly in check (no dodgy tricks here!). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom penetrations to appearances, vanishes to escapes, this tome covers it all. You’ll also find some original stage routines that’ll have your audiences scratching their heads—like a logical time travel act and a silent theatrical piece that builds tension like a good cuppa! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the absolute gems in this book is J C’s ingenious approach to crafting a modern illusion base. It’s deceptively sturdy yet lightweight—perfect for the working performer who doesn’t want to lug around a ton of bricks. J C and his partner-in-magic, 'Magic Babe' Ning, use this cutting-edge design in their shows, and trust me, it’s a game-changer (but I won’t use that phrase, promise!). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese illusions are designed for everyone—from the fresh-faced newbie to the seasoned pro—and they’ve all been tried, tested, and polished in live performances since 1998. Plus, they’re transport-friendly, so you can pack them up without breaking a sweat, and many can be performed surrounded by eager spectators. Best of all, some of these illusions won’t cost you an arm and a leg, making them spot-on for beginners wanting to dip their toes into the world of grand illusions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Illusionary Departures 2012\" boasts 145 pages filled with detailed construction plans and full presentations, including: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Walk Through The Winery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn original penetration illusion \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVisual Displacement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe passing of a person through four vertical solid steel bars \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Time Machine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 'cerebral' stage routine performed to a time-travel plot \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReinvent the Sub-Trunk\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEight different variations \u0026amp; presentation ideas for the 'Substitution Trunk' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCreation Of Life\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA paradigm of powerful illusion presentation \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUltimate Victory Cartons\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn inexpensive appearance illusion for stage \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlack Art Case Table\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA practical transport solution for a B.A. utility \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFourth Dimensional Exit\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe magical vanishing of a company of dancers\/ performers using a new illusion utility \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeceptive Base Work\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal thoughts, philosophy, design and fabrication process for a modern base \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrystal Striptease\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe magical vanish \u0026amp; reappearance of a girl while being stripped of her clothes \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew-Age Spirit Cabinet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe manifestation of inanimate objects with a kicker ending \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSweepstakes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen motivation and combination collide \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Door Appearance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe magical appearance of a person(s) in a special event setting \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraffiti Girl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn audience participation illusion with a girl from graffiti appearance \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMotion Delayed Vanish\/ Appearance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn original application of an illusion utility \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModern Flight Case Table\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn ATA case-table for working performers \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBranded\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA corporate logo magically appears in a flash of fire \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChain Reaction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn instant escape with a costume change kicker \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHiding In Plain Sight\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA sucker comedy teleportation \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGhost Cabinet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMultiple presentations for a versatile prop for a multi-cast illusion production number \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e12-Girl Cabinet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA simplified and modern Jarrett 21-Person Cabinet \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBONUS:\u003c\/b\u003e When you grab this book, you'll get access to J C's secret 'Backstage' section, packed with FREE illusion ideas and four illusion methods for car appearances!
