The Aerial Exit – The Experience

The RDM Crew headed down on a windy Sunday afternoon to catch The Aerial Exit.

A great emcee for the evening, Mr Cyril  kept the crowd engaged and active during the wait up to the commencement of the mega illusion.

Mr Cyril - A very professional and entertaining MC!

The weather was cool without the sun blazing over the event location. The venue proceeded to fill up with more and more people.

JC and Ning went on stage and performed a piece of magic which saw them turn a $2 bill borrowed from a spectator into a $50 bill which she could keep! The effect hooked the spectators indefinitely.

This lucky girl just got $48 richer!

The two illusionists proceeded to introduce and execute their The Aerial Exit illusion. This is what we thought about the illusion:

We were thoroughly impressed with the planning and subtleties that were put into this mega illusion. They covered every bit of detail possible to affirm that the illusion performed is legit and removed any doubt that it was prearranged.  The techniques/design feature of the illusion also quashed the otherwise expected speculations among the (Singaporean men) crowd.

However, there were two elements that caused a slight anti-climax after the vanish was revealed. Firstly, the curtains could have been pulled further to leave the cage more exposed. Secondly, the pyrotechnics (fireworks/sparkles) employed could have been more extensive to give a grander feel to the otherwise bland-looking vanish. The pyrotechnics set on the cage  looked visually weak under broad daylight.

A mega illusion in the air!

To give the illusionists their dues, you could really view the mega illusion from any angle you want. Safety issues was well handled expect for the strong winds which blew over the poster boards of the mega illusionists that was quite risky with the kids running around.

Overall, this project was a success considering the large turnout from members of the public to view this visual spectacle.

JC enthusiastically talking to the press!

What happened to the 5 people who vanished? They reappeared 45 minutes later. We wonder if they regretted their decision to volunteer for this mega illusion…
