Here’s the deal: Sticky is a cracking video from Kevin Schaller and Oliver Smith, featuring four brilliantly deceptive effects you can pull off with a humble piece of chewing gum. You won’t need a magic wand or an ancient tome—just some gum and a bit of chutzpah. Each effect is practical, organic, and easy to master, guaranteed to leave your audience slack-jawed and wondering if they just witnessed sorcery (spoiler alert: they did).
MentalGum: Start by claiming there’s only one piece of gum left in the pack and let a spectator choose a row and compartment at random. Watch their faces as you reveal that the last piece is sealed right where they picked. Talk about a lucky guess!
Torn & Fuzed: Show off a silver pack of gum alongside a blue piece of foil from another. Then, in a moment that defies logic, visually fuse the blue foil to the silver pack, making it completely examinable. Hand it over as an impossible souvenir (because who doesn’t love a good keepsake?).
Marked: You mark one compartment of the gum pack as your prediction while your spectator draws an X on any compartment on the opposite side. Spoiler: it matches your prediction perfectly. Now they’re really scratching their heads.
Push Through: Display a piece of gum in one compartment, have a spectator catch it in their hands below, and then—without any sneaky holes or slits—visually push the gum right through the compartment. How’s that for a bit of magic that’ll leave them questioning reality?
