I want to start this off by saying that I am late to the Magic with gum craze.
I steered clear
because it seemed like I was seeing Gum Magic constantly on Social Media and on here.
That being
said...
I missed out it would seem.
I received this in the mail, broke it out, and almost
immediately put it to work.
I took it out the night I got it and got HUGE reactions.
Do I
advise this?
No.
I'm an experienced Magician.
I am pretty good at Audience Management
and Presentations.
This piece is Angle Sensitive to an extent.
The tutorial does a very good
job of explaining that, however, it is one that a Magician should take some time to familiarize
themselves with if they are not confident in their ability to control a Performance.
A Beginner
or someone inexperienced with different working conditions will need to Practice this a fair bit to
avoid Flashing.
Does that mean you should not get it?
No.
This is actually a very good
piece to allow one to work on those very things.
It is fairly simple to execute the actual
Magic itself, so the focus can be on things like Angles and Presentation.
I highly encourage the
purchase, and use, of Gumbo.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I had to do a little
maintenance on it after the first night of use.
Nothing serious though.
It is very well
built.
Again, I want to stress how strong this piece hits.
I Perform in Bars at tables.
It absolutely floors people.
Additionally, it does look great on camera.
I filmed a
brief Presentation of Gumbo when I received it (not for the public, just for my archive) and it
really does look as good as it does in the trailers if you are comfortable with the handling.
