Can this be done in the real world? Absolutely. Will you want to? Probably not. The problem is the set up. It’s a bit of a pain. On top of that, there’s some knacky aspects to carrying it and performing it, including a ditch. For me anyway, it will keep this from being the fun anytime, anyplace item you keep in your pocket. Also, I can’t imagine the gimmick holding up too long. Oh well.

Not a fan. I wish I was (after all I did buy it lol). The gimmicks quality isn’t something that inspires trust. The more I use it I could definitely see it losing its integrity over time and I’d rather not have to worry about being that gentle when using it. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t feel like it’ll break at all, but to keep the illusion you’ll want to be pretty careful; at least if you plan on making this last. I can’t go into too much detail without giving it away... but I will say this:

Buy this trick if you want to learn how it’s done, and want to make improvements on the gimmick/concept. The quality isn’t something I’d trust to put into my performances. My suggestion: pass.

Buyer beware. Admittedly, this was an impulse buy which i will never do again. Unfortunately the product came broken which was addressed in the video. After taking the product apart and fixing it, it still would not seat correctly. I have tried multiple times to get this to work right but to no avail. Also this is not a close up trick. It is an instagram trick at best, nothing fits tight and the slightest bit of scrutiny would get you caught. The way you need to present the gum is very unnatural also. This is just one man’s thoughts but it should be a hard pass, sorry Brandon and Chris.

So I just received this piece of magic, here are my pros and cons.

PROS
-Very visual
-Ready to perform as advertised but gum not included
-Easy to perform, requires subtle move as you probably see in the trailer but does not expose the performance for what it is
-Angle friendly
-In depth instructions almost 1 hour long download explaining different ways to perform the trick
-Instructions on customizing/repairing gimmick included

CONS
-Need to buy gum for the performances (1 of the performances does not require gum)
-Juicy fruit sticks are not readily available from where I am (just the gum pellets)
-Ideally you want the wrapper of your gum sticks to match the one of your gimmick (may require you to customize your gimmick)
-Fragile gimmick, repairing can take up to around 30mins

Last remarks:
When I got my gimmick it already had a problem so I had to fix it already. The price imo is adequate for what you get as a whole (i.e. good instructional video, gimmick is fragile but will last as a unit). If anyone in Canada/Toronto can figure out where I can get JF sticks let me know.

Cheers.

Well, they warn you on the video that your gimmick may have experienced some wear and tear while being shipped. That rang true for my shipment. It was worn out before I could even practice once.

Now, I was really hoping that this didn´t require that particular mechanism that wears out fast. I was hoping it would function more like their previous release ¨envylope¨.

The 2 stars are for the great effect. Yes, it´s nice, I like it. I took 3 stars away because I can´t use it and repairing it is super finnicky and requires superior fine motor skills.

Don´t get me wrong, I dont mind repairing a gimmick after many uses. I ¨detest¨ repairing one right out of the box that I spent my hard earned money on.


Great trick .. but c´mon boys, the gimmick can´t arrive worn out and unusable right out of the box. Iḿ still deciding whether I will ask for a refund for this.

Looked good the first 2 times I used it. The third time it broke. It sat in a drawer for a few months, then I tossed it out. :(

That’s what someone said today when I performed it. They couldn’t believe it. I can’t believe I’m on Penguin Magic giving a gum trick 5 stars. Lol. This trick is really good and really visual. I love it. Easily one of my favorite go to tricks now. Just pull it out of my pocket and create hypher visual magic for someone. What I love about this is it could be done quickly and then you’re on your way. It requires very very little to reset it, maybe 10 seconds if that. There is something that you will have to ditch but let me say it’s super small and I’ve been doing the trick without even ditching it. Just a cop that anyone could do, also the gimmick is put into cop position anyway. This trick is good guys.

A couple things about the video. It’s surprisingly long for something that is so easy to do but I’m not complaining I like long. Also when a video is long and filled with actual stuff that matters it shows me how much love was put into making the trick. They explain how to do it within the first two minutes. The other 50 or so minutes is explaining different ways to do the trick. It’s made well. It’ll last a long time, maybe even forever. I was so afraid to handle it at first because I thought I would break it. It can take rough handling. They even tell you on the video how to repair it if needed. This is not a cheap feeling trick once you get it on your hands and they are not lying when they say you could do it right out of the box without practice.Skyrim fans will understand what I am saying when I say this, it just works. I can’t stop playing with it because it feels so smooth!!!! I think I know why they call it Oh So Juicy. My thought is because the trick feels so good when you do it that you almost want to say “ooohhh that’s so juicy”. Lol. Anyway you won’t be disappointed. At least I wasn’t and I usually don’t like these tricks. I buy them and end up storing them. Not this one. 5 stars with a badass stamp of approval!!!!

By far one of the best gum effects on the market! Love it!

I honestly enjoy the Gimmick it is just perfect the only thing I don’t like would be the refixing but that barely happens and once you get use to it you can fix it in less than a three minuets

When I first got this trick I absolutely loved the gimmick and how it works but after only two uses it broke. They do tell you how you can fix it but it is very very hard to get it back to the working condition. I wish it was a little more durable.
