This effect is stunning and the finished product looks so insane that even I think it's magic at
times. This effect is visual, clean, stunning, with sort of a hint of Tommy Wonder Style magic to
it. The spectator holds an impossible item in their hands the entire effect and don't realize it
until the last second. From the time they see the bill in the packet until they pop it out the foil
and hand you back the packet there is 100% nothing to hide. There is legitimately an object inside
of a sealed gum pack. Plus there are so many possibilities besides for cards and bills! With a wave
of your hand 1 (or multiple if you think about it) piece(s) of gum can change color. A piece of gum
can have an imprint of a selected card on the piece of gum. There are so many possibilities if
you're a little creative.
Now for the down side. The gimmick does take a while to make 30
minutes to an hour I've found depending on a few variables especially the brand of gum you use. The
gum I use comes in 2 packs of 8 for . You can use one pack of gum multiple times, but I find it's no
big deal to replace gum at that price. But the time it takes to make these gimmicks is the big down
side. This effect works best for me as an effect for potential or on the fence clients. This seems
like something that will get me bookings, but not a part of my regular act. To sum it up, this is
more of a "special occasions" trick.
