Background

Produced and managed by Concept: Magic, Singapore’s only full service magic production house,[4][7] the show opened in September 2008[8] and started its third season, Ultimate Magic: The Revolution on 2 May 2009 and ended in August 2009.

Synopsis

Ultimate Magic starred Singapore professional magic duo, J C Sum & 'Magic Babe' Ning. The show is a partnership between the co-stars, Sum and Ning.[9][10] The show is described as “Urban Illusions in the City” and is a magical personification of the characteristics of Singapore city.[4]

Stars

Sum and Ning's partnership as a professional magic duo has been acknowledged as “very groundbreaking and refreshing”[9] and they were said to represent “the new faces of an age-old art form”.[11] They are best known for a teleportation feat across Singapore River where three volunteers were teleported across Singapore River in just 2.5 seconds.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]
