J C Sum and Magic Babe Ning Break Record
They did it!
According to J C Sum’s web site, he and the lovely “Magic Babe” Ning set the record for “most number of grand illusions performed in five minutes.”
The record was set on Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 9:40 pm.
Turn-out was great. And why wouldn’t it be?
J C Sum and Magic Babe Ning have taken the country by storm with well-timed and publicised stunts and apperances.
Plus, where else can one see 15 big-time illusions in five minutes?
We understand more than 3000 people witnessed the blur of illusions in the beautiful Central Promenade adjacent to Singapore River.

J C Sum and “The Magic Babe” Ning try Impossible
We wrote about this amazing duo a couple of weeks ago. The article previewed their upcoming appearance on Asia Uncut. It was impressive. We don’t get the network on which J C Sum and “Magic Babe” Ning appeared here in Mystic Hollow – even with our hacked-up satellite antennae.
We do, however, get YouTube.com and were able to see the Asia Uncut show in high definition.
Ning does one heck of a great straight-jacket escape — very clever and entertaining.
Well, the magic couple have returned with a new event to promote.
On June 27, 2009, J C Sum and “Magic Babe” Ning will attempt “The Impossible Record.”
What is “The Impossible Record,” you ask.
We will let J C Sum explain:
Set to a countdown timer in front of an expected audience of 5000 people, Ning & I will attempt to perform a world record-setting 15 grand illusions in 5 minutes.
Grand illusions are defined as large-scale stage magic acts that involve physicality and usually utilize, but not limited to, large props. Sleight of hand acts, card tricks, magic with birds or handkerchiefs do not constitute as grand illusion.
The record attempt will be adjudicated by the Singapore Book of Records and the International Brotherhood of Magicians. The record is the first ever magic record of any kind to be adjudicated by the Singapore Book of Records and is also being submitted to Guinness World Records.
For this mega event, we will be making ourselves appear, vanish, teleport, exchange places, dissect their bodies, pass through solid objects, making a motorcycle appear, and much more in this physically and mentally challenging feat of attempting 15 grand illusions in 5 minutes.

Great Press Release: J C Sum and ‘Magic Babe’ Ning
Inside Magic receives about 200 solicited and unsolicited emails with images, stories, leads, and even full press releases. We don’t always have time to read each attachment and worry that we will be missing a great story or important feature.
We also worry that the Mystic Hollow Librarian will get wise and have us ejected for running this web site and sending our incredibly successful spam campaign for herbal cures on the same computer the kids use to play Oregon Trail.
Because the chairs in the Kid’s Section are so small, we would welcome a good booting out the door. But until the authorities crack down, we’ll continue to review all submissions with a careful eye.
J C Sum and ‘Magic Babe’ Ning’s Press Release was titled, “Singapore Illusionist and Sexy Female Magician Make a Magical Appearance for Asia Uncut Talk Show on Star World.”
We have long conceded we are no more mature than a slightly post-pubescent 12 year-old. We were intrigued.
Perhaps a more mature editor would not have been hooked by such a headline. Chances are we wouldn’t read the type of publication that editor produces, so we will never know.
