I have sticky situation and it ROCKS.

For the price, it is one of the best tricks out there IMHO. It's hard to find good magic for only 15 bucks these days.

The effect is exactly as described, and you can do it whenever you want.

It doesn't wear out, its a little cool gimmick that lets you do this whenever you want.

It looks real, and can be customized to any brand of gum you want

A couple small corrections. You can't customize it to any gum you want, but you can to many types of gum (it needs to be a white/off-white stick of gum, so most any mint flavor, and I believe any non-cinnamon flavor of Wrigley's will work).

Also, both links are correct. Elmwood has a video of it, Andi and I don't (Elmwood is the manufacturer). You can buy it direct from me, or from them, although of course I make the money if you buy it from me.

Sticky Situation is the best gum trick you will ever find! It is a very well made gaff!

I only meant the link Andy posted above was incorrect, not the one from Elmwood magic. I wanted to make sure people had the opportunity to buy it from him directly.

Oh, yeah, thanks! I totally forgot, And I just redesigned the site and that link changed. Good catch! Gonna go edit it to fix it :o)

Oh yeah sorry, it can only be done with stick type gum.

Though I suppose with a thin coat of red paint you could probably do cinnamon gum... hmmm......

Anyway you really don't need to do cinnamon or other types of gum, the white stick flavor is very common and should work for anyone.

In the mouse pitch, I make a stick of gum rise out of the pack. It could be a nice way of starting the gum routine.

Jay Sankey has a couple of marketed effects with gum (Juicy Fruit and Wrap It Up!) and one on his videos -- Sankey Very Much, or Sankey 1999 or one of those, forget which. Wrap It Up! is a quick and startling change: chew a piece of gum, place it back on the wrapper, toss the wrapper into the spectator's hand and it restores itself to an un-chewed wrapped piece of bubble-gum. It plays well for kids.

How about suposingly use gum for the Card on celing. I don't mean that you should throw the deck to the celing with a pice of chowed gum on it , use wax on the card but pretend to throw the gum and the deck to the celing.

You can take a pack of cig's Open it up and show them , say I think Ill quit , Re-open it and out come 20 sticks of Gum . I read that some were . not to sure how it works but sounds good . Ill have to Buy that book

The effect keven mentions is David Regals and is in "close up and personal"

Nathan Kranzo mentioned that he has a gum effect where someone names a color and he blows a bubble with his gum, which just happens to match their color! Hasn't tipped that one yet, and believe me, I can see why!

Harry Lorayne has published a great torn and restored stick of gum in wrapper (Reputation makers?)

And , a really great wild card using sticks of gum.

Find em!
