Pics of the Impossible Journey

Happy Birthday to WIll Smith and Kailin

Whoa, I have to say that it was indeed a mind-blowing experience at the Central Promenade last night! I think we have 3 new "Jumpers" here in Singapore... they have gone through a feat that would put Nightcrawler and Blink to shame. Til now, I'm still wondering how it's even possible for the telportation to occur legitimately, in front of so many people!! That's precisely the reason why the Mega Illusion is titled "Impossible Journey".


Yesterday after knocking off from work, I was unable to teleport from my workplace at Victoria Street, I resorted to Clarke Quay by foot. The walk took abt 20 minutes, and I had a quick dinner at Subway upon reaching the place. It was there that I met up with Darren, Keane and Terence.


By 7 plus, the promenade was packed with people, and the host warmed things up by inviting 4 guys on stage (Terence as one of them) to do a modified version of the Las Ketchup dance. Couldn't stop laughing at this one... :-D

For the next 5 minutes, we watched videos on some of JC Sum's and Ning's most memorable tricks. Last year's Mega Illusion involved JC teleporting from the ground level to the 50th level of the UOB building in only 5 seconds!!


Then came J C Sum and Magic Babe Ning at 7.40 pm. Ning looks really smokin' hawt, never mind if she looks kinda skinny. And JC looks... like his usual self (aiyah, you know that the guys obviously favor the hot babe). The magic duo brought in 3 lucky youngsters (late teens to early 20s)... namely Gerard, Crystal and Joscelin. Crystal looks really cuuuute, she happened to be a part-time model. :-)


Firstly, JC wrote down Gerard's name, a country name (Japan in this case) and drew a flower on a postcard. He then tore it into pieces and passed one half to Gerald, and the other half to Ning who procedded to the other end of Clarke Quay. And as we could see from Ning's walk along with security, a normal walk would take about 2 to 3 minutes.

The 3 youngsters putting on their blindfolds, and then entering the 'teleportation pods'.


2.5 seconds later, they were gone!! And they crossed over to the other end!! The fans simply went wild with disbelief and astonishment... myself included of course! :-O


Ning shows the 2 halves of the postcard being restored. And to end off the show, the 3 "Jumpers" entered the main pod, and disappeared in 3 seconds!! Wonder where they went...


JC and Ning went for an interview from reporters from Channel 5, 8 and Channel NewsAsia on the stage by the side of the river. And then after that, there was an autograph-cum-phototaking session.


Ole! Me with JC and Ning. I blushed a little after telling Ning that she looked very cute in the FHM top 100 booklet. :-p


Oh, there were also 3 "mannequins" (they're real men for your info!!) who paraded around the place, drawing second glances from people everywhere. Even their watches are fake. I nearly got a 'heart attack' when one of them stood next to me. Too bad I can't label them as "kiam pa", simply because... they have no face!!

After JC and Ning left the place, the few of us went back separately (Keane had left as soon as theperformance ended). I had supper with Terence at Kovan area before walking home. I think I may want to watch their weekly shows at The Arena one of these days!! :-)
