I noticed a few negative reviews on this item.
Let me say for the record, sometimes its
not the prop or the illusion that is at fault. It's the "presenter."
This is a GREAT
trick in the right hands. "Presentation" is everything. Remember that. If you are good at what
you do, you can take a crappy illusion and turn it into something wonderful.
If you are a
true entertainer down deep in your soul... you already know this.
This particular item is a
neat little gem. If it's not what you expected, do what I would do in this situation. Start
re-engineering the thing until it meets your expectations.

...three things that make for a worker! This effect is easy to perform which allows you to focus on
presenting a moment of magic to unsuspecting minds. Great teaching as always from Mr. Kranzo and
will be a welcome piece into your repertoire!

This is a very neat little miracle. Very visual, and resets in seconds! The gimmick is very easy to
make, and takes just a couple of minutes. For $0.99 you can't go wrong.

This is awesome. Super casual and relaxed, and a very good way of introducing a gum routine. It is
a very easy effect, and will require very little time to make the gimmick. This is definitely
something I will carry around with me. The video is short and to the point. Plus I got it for a
buck!

Ok, normally I shy away from sub-par reviews, but here are my two stars...
If you'll have
the opportunity to get this really cheap, then maybe go for it - it's a gag-shop-novelty-style
effect and if you like what you see, then you can't go wrong.
But for the 5 bucks price tag
at the moment this is definitely not substantial enough to give you equal return in performance
pleasure.

This is something you'd get at your local gag/trick shop as a kid. I disappointed in this one, but
I'm not going to lose sleep over it given the price. The price reflects the level of this flop.

This is good. You will need something aside from the gum. You'll be back here to order that... or go
to a local magic shop or possibly a craft store. The additional material is inexpensive so if you're
hoping to take advantage of the free shipping over $50 from penguin, I'd order this download first
as a separate order so you can tack the additional small item on to your larger order.
It's
a nice trick and easy to have on hand all the time. Video explanation makes it all very easy to
learn!

The effect is simple and was accomplished just as I had imagined before I watched the video.
However I wanted to know just what material was used to accomplished the effect. The answer was
well worth the low price. The presentation and teaching were well done.

Nathan Kranzo's,Animated Gum,is and effect that you will love. This effect was well thought out and
a true worker. You can tell that Nathan has worked this effect before he released it to the public.
The quality of the download is superb,as with most Penguin downloads. The teaching is thorough and
well thought out. I highly recommend getting Animated Gum!

This is interesting, but not something I would use.
