The Impossible Teleportation

In a historic magic event that made featured news in national and regional media outlets, J C Sum successfully presented South East Asia’s FIRST EVER Mega Illusion - “The Impossible Teleportation”

On 18 Aug 2007, J C teleported himself from street level while surrounded by thousands of spectators and reappeared on the roof of a skyscraper, 50 floors above, within a ring of witnesses. 

The Mega Illusion was staged at Raffles Place, the heart of the business district in Singapore. The official count is that more than 9,000 spectators turned up to witness “The Impossible Teleportation” live. 

This landmark illusion marked the largest single live illusion ever staged in South East Asia.

"A Singapore magician has attempted what's believed to be the largest 'live' illusion staged in Southeast Asia - teleporting himself from the ground to the rooftop of a 50-storey building in just 5 seconds.

Over 5,000 spectators who turned up to watch the act were spellbound.

"It's unbelievable. It's amazing. It's fantastic to see this in Singapore," said one spectator."
