Is it just me, or does the piece of gum vanish in the 'push thru' effect? It looks great, but I assume that's not the point. I'm not quite sure I understand the 'torn & fused' What are you tearing? Do you show the torn open blister? Seems strange to heal something that was never shown torn. The mentalism tricks look great, particularly the X trick. Hoping the edit isn't leaving off too much of the 'work.' Looking forward to receiving this one.

Hey Platt,
the gum doesn't vanish in Push Through, it penetrates the tray. It might look like it vanishes on the trailer. For Torn & Fuzed, you tear the foil off of another pack and fuse it onto the silver one. Thank you for your post. Kevin

I received the DVD today!
- The production of the DVD is first-class. - Torn & Fuzed - sorry but I don't understand tenor of this trick? - Push Through - is my favourit trick on the DVD! Very clever and easy! - MentalGum - was my reason for buying the DVD but after watching the explanation ... I am not sure. - Marked - another winner. Thanks to Kevin and Oliver because I like their ideas with daily items like a pack of gums!

Hey guys I have been chatting with Kevin and I told him about my version of Torn & Fused that uses 2 different packages of gum. Not only is the foil moved from one pack to the other but the gum switches places in sealed compartments as well." Kevin liked this idea and said I can share it with others who have purchased the DVD.

Torn & Fuzed – This is one of those times that the method is cooler than the trick itself. You could have given me a hundred guesses on the method and I would have been wrong a hundred times. Very clever thinking. Unfortunately the effect leaves something to be desired. In a perfect world, you’d tear off the foil exposing the gum, then grab red foil from a different pack and reseal it with the odd color. Not sure ‘fuzing’ has quite same impact or even makes much sense. But the method...
Push Through – Another very clever effect. If you gave me one guess on how this one was done, I’d get it right. Yeah, I (and I’m sure many of you) have a pretty good idea from watching the demo how this must work, but none-the-less, very smart thinking. I imagine there could be some room condition issues here, but I like. MentalGum – Super clever. Not sure if I’d really work this hard to regularly perform this, and it is angle-sensitive, but I love the effect and the thinking. Marked- I figured this might be a dry erase marker trick. I was wrong. I like. Super simple and smart. I was afraid the demo might not be fair, but it actually is. Unquestionably my favorite effect on the DVD. And probably the only one I would perform with any regularity. Overall, I love this DVD and wish there were more releases like it. It reminds me of how Jay Sankey and Paul Harris used to think. And it’s exactly the kind of stuff you’d find in Paul's AOA books. My most creative (though not always most practical) thinking took place years ago when I filmed Catapult! I had more time to screw around and experiment back then. Clearly these guys have that kind of time. I’m jealous. Watching this makes me want to pick up a pack of mints and stare at it until it gives. Very inspiring stuff, here. Nice job guys.

Just recieved Sticky and I can say that I am extremely happy with my purchase.
You would never be able to guess how Torn and fuzed is done no matter how many times you watch the video or see an actual performance. I really like this effect. It can used with a variety of gum packs that I have already found thta have different and unique back designs. Even though this is my least favorite trick on the DVD it is very creatively done Kevin. When I first tried Push Through I didn't think it would look this visual.. Easiest trick to perform on the DVD and it really looks like pure magic in front of the spectator. I think many people will figure out how it was done however. Just my thought. Mental Gum is fantastic. There is the angle issue. Not great for a large group, buy easy to pull off for 2-3 people. A little bit of management is needed here. The reason I really enjoy it is that the gum can be popped out of the pack after you have revealed the marking on it. Really nice work Kevin. This will fry peoples mind. Nice mentalism touch here. Marked is a fantastic gimmick. You are very creative in coming up with this. Just a small amount of practice needed on where to postion the pack and create the magic. I think that this will be performed the most by myself to friends and family. You can even use their borrowed pack of blister gum. Best trick on the video by far. Thanks for a great DVD. Cant wait to see what you come up with next. Magicmalk |

Hi Eric,
My name is Oliver Smith. Kevin and I are really happy you like the DVD. The gum which was used in the filming is called "Trident Splash" and is probably the best gum for the effect. I personally use the red trident gum when performing as I think it stands out more. It is available in the USA as I have spoken to a few people but unfortunately I don't know which stores. I will try and find out for you. If you can't find any then they are also available on eBay, thank you very much. http://www.flickr.com/photos/amc59/5360678693/ |

Congrats to Kevin & Oliver for getting such a good review on WPR! I have liked this DVD since it first came out and I think others will catch on to some quality magic too. Anyone interested in my Transpo version of Torn & Fused just PM me. I will ask you a couple of questions to make sure you own it and then the routine is yours. Thanks Kevin and Oli for sharing your creativity.

This one is for Kevin, who thinks, I'm a mean and negative old ***, when it comes to his ideas. Sticky does indeed look great, is off the beaten path and seems to be a real worker. Impromptu magic at its best. Well done! There you go, Kevin.

This looks really fantastic! I'll keep this in mind if I ever develop an affinity for gum...or maybe this effect will drive me to pick up the habit!
