The 'Phantom Car Appearance' – A Monumental Reveal
Delve into the ingenious mechanics of the 'Phantom Car Appearance.' This illusion begins with a striking enclosure on stage, its front initially obscured by a customizable panel that can feature a client's logo or the illusionist's name. The suspense builds as panels slide away, first revealing a slatted front, then an unobstructed view of a seemingly empty interior crafted from black cloth. The illusionist dramatically demonstrates the enclosure's emptiness, even raising a back wall to prove there's nothing hidden. Then, with a swift re-covering of the front, a breathtaking pyrotechnic display erupts, and in mere seconds, the panels part to unveil a magnificent full-sized car, often accompanied by a cast of dancers! This high-impact illusion is ideal for corporate events, trade shows, and grand launches, guaranteeing a monumental reveal.
The 'Bluff Appearance' – A Surrounded Spectacle
Discover the 'Bluff Appearance,' an exceptional illusion designed for audiences who can view the performance from all angles. A raised platform, completely visible underneath, supports a four-post structure draped with an all-round curtain. Four assistants gracefully enter this curtained enclosure. Moments later, the curtain dramatically drops to the platform to reveal a gleaming car, with the assistants having mysteriously vanished! This ingenious method allows for a truly immersive and intimate car production, making it perfect for smaller venues, close-up stages, or any event where a surrounded performance is key.
The 'Light Pillars Production System' – A Theatrical Masterpiece
Experience the 'Light Pillars Production System,' an instant car appearance illusion perfectly suited for a proper theater stage with precise lighting control. The stage is initially illuminated by moving spotlights, emphasizing its emptiness. Two vertical lighting trusses, each bearing a row of lights, are expertly maneuvered, creating dramatic 'light pillars.' The stage lights dim, leaving only these illuminated pillars to define the space. The illusionist then draws a large white roller blind fully between these pillars. As the blind is slowly closed, an instant, spectacular reveal unfolds, filling the stage with a full-sized car and a cast of performers! This illusion leverages lighting and theatrical timing to create a truly magical moment.
Mastering Grand Car Productions
Each of these meticulously detailed illusions offers a unique method and design, all capable of producing a real, full-sized car. While 'Phantom Car Appearance' and 'Light Pillars' require specific staging and cannot be performed surrounded, 'Bluff Appearance' provides unparalleled flexibility for 360-degree viewing. Note that all versions will generally require 4-6 assistants, both on and off stage, to ensure a flawless and impactful performance. These plans focus exclusively on stunning car productions and do not feature JC Sum's 'Destination X' car teleportation illusion. Acquire these plans today and transform your magic act into an unforgettable spectacle of grand illusion!

This package details three of J C’s car appearance illusion designs:
- Phantom Car Appearance (from Equilateral 3)

All three car appearance illusions are completely different in method and design. A full-sized real car can be produced with all methods.
- “Phantom Car Appearance” & “Light Pillars” cannot be performed surrounded but “Bluff Appearance” can.
- “Phantom Car Appearance” & “Bluff Appearance” are practical for trade shows, car launches and corporate events.
- “Light Pillars” is an instant appearance but requires a proper theatre stage with control over lighting.
- You will require about 4 – 6 assistants (on and off stage) for all versions.
Note: None of these car appearances in this package features the set-up that J C performs as part of a car teleportation mega illusion, “Destination X”, which is on YouTube. That is J C’s modification of Gerry Frenette’s Car Vanish which he purchased.
The Phantom Car Appearance
A large enclosure is seen on stage. The front is covered by a solid panel bearing the client’s logo or the illusionist’s name. As the performance starts, the large front panel slides to the side to reveal another panel. This panel has a slatted front so the audience can see the empty black interior inside the enclosure. This slatted panel is slid over to the other side, giving an unobstructed view of the inside of the enclosure; consisting of two side ‘walls’ and a back ‘wall’ made of black cloth.
The illusionist and assistant audience move to the back ‘wall’ and raise it off the floor to show that there is nothing behind the enclosure. The back ‘wall’ is lowered back in place and the illusionist and assistant move back to the front of the enclosure.
The two front panels are slid back into place covering the front of the enclosure again. Literally 2 seconds later, pyrotechnics erupt and the panels are pulled apart to reveal a magical appearance of a full-sized car with four dancers!
Bluff Appearance
A raised platform that the audience can see beneath at all times sits on stage. An all-round curtain that is raised up and held up by a four-post structure (imagine a four post bed) is on the raised platform.
Four girls enter the stage and one by one step into the curtained enclosure through two vertical splits on either side of the curtain. Seconds later, the curtain drops to the platform to reveal a car – the girls have vanished.
Light Pillars Production System
Moving stage spotlights fully illuminate the center of the stage. Two sets of vertical lighting truss, each mounted with a single vertical row of lights are moved around the empty stage. The lights are turned on the trusses are turned on and the stage lights dim down. The stage is clearly empty, save for the two illuminated “light pillars”.
The illusionist steps up to one of the trusses and pulls open a large white roller blind, stretching it out fully between the two “light pillars”. Almost immediately, he starts to draw the white roller blind closed and slowly reveals the instant appearance of a cast of dancers filling the once empty stage!
