This looks like a nice mentalism trick, where can I buy it?

Hey Silverdollar,
thanks for the interest, but this trick is not available at the moment and I haven't planned to release it.

Kevin

Fooled me! I want to see it released.

I liked it!

Sweet! Please release this one.

I like the original plot behind it and I can see many magicians and mentalists perform this. You should release it.

That could be the very reason he won't
James

Tanks for the kind words and your interest in this effect, it influenced me and all I can say by now is that I am working on your wishes to release it.

Stay tuned!

The video is private- is there anyway we can see this?

Thanks,
RNK

I have good news for the fans of this effect! We are going to perform Kevin's amazing trick, Mental Gum on todays Mystique Factory Live Stream Show! Make sure, to tune in! we are live in ca. 30 minutes!

Cheers!
Andrew

Video is private.

We are not live yet 5 more minutes

Hi Andrew, just finished (belatedly) watching your streaming show; this mental Gum looks like my kind of trick - I assume you're going to be releasing it (on a DVD along with other effects?)

is there a certain amount of 'messing around' that needs to be done in prep (a la ultra gum kind of thing)?

can you say when you''ll be releasing it?

Paul

Dear Paul,

We can't say the exact date yet sorry. Mental Gum will be a part of a dvd with 5 other routines. The messing around is takes about 1-2 minutes and you can use the gimmick over and over again its not a problem.

Hope that helps,

Kind Regards,
Martin

So the gimmick is something you make up yourself? or does it come with DVD?

You can make it up for yourself in no time

Cool, so following (simple?) instructions you can make the gimmick easily and readily with any suitable pack of gum (i.e. blister pack)?

We couldn't describe the situation better than you. Exactly like you say it.

Mental Gum is excellent!

Kevin is a great guy, with amazing ideas, you will hear his name a lot in the near future.

MentalGum is one of the four effects in a DVD called Sticky by Kevin Schaller and Oliver Smith.
The DVD will have 2 visual effects and 2 mentalism effects.
All of the 4 effects are amazing, organic and really easy to build and do.
The master disc will be shipped tomorrow to the replicators and then ,hopefully, in 2 or 3 weeks it will be available through your favorite dealer.

Here is the ad copy:

"Sticky is a DVD by Kevin Schaller 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."

I will post the official demo shortly.

Best regards,
Titanas
