In the trailer, he clearly says "Chapstick." He also refers to the tube as "Chapstick" over and over
in the instructional video.
What he is actually using is Burt's Bees and the inside of a
Burt's Bees tube has a major difference. You can not use Chapstick. The inside of a chapstick tube
is different.
Also he says to use your teeth to make the gimmick. Even with an actual tube
of Burt's Bees, this is not a very good way to do it.
The dude in the video is able to use
his teeth, but that doesn't mean everyone will. The first tube of Burt's Bees I tried to use my
teeth on just shattered. Even if you can make it work with your teeth, it is likely going to end up
all chewed up. In fact, it seems like a good way to chip a tooth.
This could potential be a
decent effect, but the instructional video is not good.
Penguin should have tested this
with different brands and came up with better instructions than "just use your teeth."

This is one of the more maddening purchases Ive made for the price..I have built the gimmick twice
and it breaks..or it just doesnt work/spin..i dont know what kind of supplies he uses exactly but I
dont know that Ill waste anymore time and effort on this..dissapointing..

A bit challenging to construct, too many things can go wrong. While it’s a good concept, things
don’t always work the way you expect it to.

Am happy with the product, but won't end up making...feels like too much time for what it is, won't
beat out my nut/bolt for the flea circus
For others, I think this would be great!
Penguin was incredible, as always! Love ordering from them.

This is a good download!
Sometime's you see a trick that requires arts and crafts, and while
the effect is cool, the work you have to put in to make something is too much. This is NOT that!
The gimmick is VERY simple to make (literally made it along with the video), and once you are
done, you have something that takes up very little pocket space, is durable, and will amuse yourself
and your spectators!
This is fun, creative, and I totally think it's worth the purchase!

I'm making this up right away and incorporating it into my Chapslick routine. I will switch it in
for the finale! The only reason I don't give this five stars is because of the video instructions.
This deserves better.

WOW absolutely amazing gimmick! You can even open the cap and show its just normal chapstick. It’s
super easy to make and I freak out my sister already saying I can use the force (StarWars anyone?)
LOVE IT!
