Hi everyone,
Me and Kevin Schaller met via the wire many months ago and since then we have thrown ideas back and fourth. We started to create tricks with chewing gum and worked on many different effects until we settled on four of our favorites to release on DVD. This is a great example of how the wire can bring artists together. Please check it out and tell us what you think!
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
