BEHIND THE ILLUSIONS - JC Sum

DVD-sættet der lærer dig alt moderne scene illusioner – design, produktion, fremgangsmåde og optræden. Hvis du altid har drømt om at komme i gang med at fremstille, og optræde med, illusioner, er dette DVD-sæt et absolut must-have. 

J C Sum og ”Magic Babe” Ning, Asiens mest berømte illusionister, deler ud af deres erfaring og ekspertise ved at analysere 10 af deres mest spektakulære illusioner. Dette er ikke en gennemgang af metoder, men en omfattende oversigt over scene illusioner, der vil være uvurderlig for scene tryllekunstnere og illusionister på alle niveauer. Duoens gennemgang dækker illusioner af varierende størrelser og typer, indblik i design og teknikker samt bevæggrunde, tanker og filosofi omkring det, at optræde med scene illusioner. 

Som en ekstra bonus afslører J C & Ning for første gang hemmeligheder omkring en af deres live mega illusions ”The Aerial Exit”
