Star Trek Teleportation Stuns Shoppers
To celebrate the release of
Star Trek Into Darkness, movie and TV streaming service blinkbox worked with top illusionist
Scott Penrose to perform some cunning teleportation trickery.
Shoppers looked on in awe at what appeared to be the world's first successful attempt at teleportation.
The illusion was achieved using a combination of science and trickery. It caused a stir among thousands of shoppers who witnessed'volunteers from the crowd step into a high-tech unit and appear to have been 'beamed' to nearby locations in seconds.
Star Trek Into Darkness is available on the blinkbox movie streaming service over a year ahead of Netflix and
Lovefilm Instant priced from £3.49 to rent and £10.99 to buy:
