Book excerpt: From making a motorcycle appear while surrounded by an audience, to making a car materialize within an empty enclosure to walking through a giant industrial fan, this is the ultimate collection of professional illusions for the modern illusionist! J C Sum is a professional illusionist and widely regarded as one of the most prolific modern illusion designers in the world today. The "Ultimate Illusion Collection: Trinity Edition" is the 3rd edition of J C's illusion omnibus; 100% reformatted, expanded and updated into a single massive tome. The Trinity Edition contains the latest versions of J C's entire collection of illusions detailed in his professional illusion book trilogy, "Illusionary Departures," "Equilateral" and "Urban illusions," including new images as well as brand new illusion designs. In addition, all the stage acts & illusions detailed in his book "Illusionism" are included in this collection. These are specialty illusions designed with mentalism plots.
