Hello guys,
I am really excited about this release and I hope you will be as well!
Sticky is a DVD by Kevin Schaller (me) and Oliver Smith that contains 4 strong effects that you can perform using chewing gum. All the effects are very practical, organic, easy to perform and will leave your spectators astonished.
Torn & Fuzed:
Show a silver pack of gum and a different colored piece of foil from another pack. Visually make the colored piece fuse onto the silver foil, leaving it completely examinable and hand it out as an impossible souvenir.
Push Through:
Display a piece of gum inside one compartment of the gum pack. Have a spectator cup his hands underneath and visually push the gum through the compartment without any holes or slits leaving everything examinable.
Marked:
Mark one compartment of the gum pack as your prediction with an X. Have a spectator draw an X onto any compartment on the other side and show it matches with your prediction.
MentalGum:
Explain that there is only one piece of gum left inside the pack and have a spectator freely select a row and a compartment. Display that the last piece is sealed inside the exact location they just chose.
No force – any compartment can be named.
"Great pieces of astonishments with a fresh taste. Watch out for these kids." - Peter Eggink
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ye1ZnZqqXQ&list=FLkzxV3rUgsAbnsXiOeybx6w&index=1&feature=plpp_video
Will be available soon!

I talk regularly with Oliver and Kevin and over the months they've both brain stormed their ideas for this project with me. There were loads of effects to begin with. And over a couple of months, they refined them by actually taking them out, performing them for real people, weighed up how powerful they were, streamlined the handlings until you're left with what you see here... Four practical, creative, organic, real-world gems!
They should be very proud of this project. Good work guys!

Just a heads up guys to let you know that who ever gets the pre-order from Merchant of Magic he will also receive a bonus effect that is not on the DVD and it will only be available for the pre-order from Merchant of Magic and nowhere else.

Are the tricks restricted to certain types of gum or gum packages? The reason I ask is that I would prefer not to look around for a specific gum that is not commonly found.
Thank you very much.

Hey mate,
long time no speak  your trailer does look pretty cool and I wish you all the best with it!
Just to satisfy my curiosity - can any department be named in 'MentalGum'?
All the best,
Timon.

Thanks for your question!
You can use ANY pack of gum, the brand doesn't matter. It can be ANY blister pack of gum, here is an example:

Yes, ANY compartment can freely be named, there is no force or multiple out!
If there are any other questions please feel free to ask!

Great job guys!
I have been waiting for a full release from you Kev and I knew it's gonna come! 
To all of you, who don't know who Kevin is - long story short. Very bright, young guy with hundreds of great ideas in his head. I am sure he is a rising star and at some point in time in near future he will be shining very bright!
I'm definitely getting Sticky!

Looks really good - the mental ideas look like an anytime/anywhere effect with unsuspective props. Ideal for street mentalism.
Can't wait to take a look at the final product!

Hello to Kevin,
These effects look great I would like to confirm 2 things.
1. That mental gum does not use a "hot rod" type count as that is the pocket that came up twice in the demo. Can the gum be shown in any compartment?
2. How does prep time compare to Richard Sanders Ultra Gum which while an excellent trick proved a little prep heavy for some?

Thanks for the question! There is NO "hot rod" principle or anything like this used, the spectators are able to name ANY compartment they like and even change their mind if they want. You don't have to count in a special way, nor need any psychological techniques. It works all the time with ANY compartment!
There is not really a long set up for the effects, it takes from 10 seconds up to a maximum from 2 minutes. Easy to set-up and as easy to perform! I bet you will have a lot of fun with them!
