On 24 Sep 2008 in front of
over 5000 people, J C Sum & 'Magic Babe' Ning cemented themselves as
Singapore's celebrity magic duo by sucessfully teleporting 3 spectators
across the Singapore River in 2.5
seconds!
"South East Asia's Biggest Magic Event" (Channel News Asia) was
presented by Central and is the first and only magic event endorsed by
the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
This mega illusion was a key event of the Singapore River Festival organized
by STB, who organized this inaugural festival
as a highlight of the first ever F1 Grand Prix season.

The starting point of "The Impossible Journey" was 3 separate
teleportation chambers, each on see-through platform, atop a see-through stage
at the Central river promenade.
The entire stage and teleportation chambers were surrounded
spectators. The destination across the Singapore River will be the Read Bridge
almost 250m away. This is the large pedestrian bridge than connects Clarke Quay
with Merchant Court Hotel/ Riverside Point.

The official video of "The Impossible Journey" mega illusion is now
online.
