An empty pack of gum becomes full in the blink of an eye. The gum box does all the eye-popping work for you in this super visual effect. From the mind of one of the youngest people ever to fool Penn & Teller comes a gimmick that lives in the real world and produces amazing results. This is Gum and Get Some by Amanda Nepo.

Offer your audience some gum in a kind gesture, but when you open the pack, it's empty (or you don't have enough for everyone). Snap your fingers, and right before the spectator's eyes, the pack is now full of gum. The gum that appears is completely REAL! You can hand it out for all of your new friends to enjoy. Gum and Get Some is a unique utility gimmick that can be used as a one-off visual moment or as a place to make a small object appear, disappear, or transform. After showing the empty pack of gum and setting it on the table, you can vanish a card, coin, or another small object. When the packaging is opened, the small object is found inside the gum box, along with a few sticks of gum. Or you could put a small object in the empty gum box and transform that small object into gum! The possibilities are endless.

Gum and Get Some is made from high-quality materials and uses no elastic or complicated parts that you might have to replace in the future. There are no arts and crafts. Add some real gum*, and the gimmick is ready to go. Perform visual magic when you go out on the town with Gum and Get Some.

*Gum not included. Trident gum suggested

The visuals look super!


Was going to comment about the Gen z but it's not worth it. It's obvious everybody knows gum and this style of packaging. My mom who is 80 years old always has this packaging of gum on her.

Hi Everyone

Penguin Magic credit Brandon David and Chris Turchi in the product description of Gum and Get Some for allowing Amanda Nepo to use their ideas and creations in her product which is very similar to Got Gum? Appearing Got Gum by Brandon David and Chris Turchi at the following website link.

https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S18138

Does anyone happen to know how Gum and Get Some compares to Got Gum? Appearing Got Gum because they appear very similar with the exception of the appearance?

Have a nice day.

Regards

At least they didn't call it "Sudden Gum"...with apologize to David Regal.

Got Gum & Gum Get Some both cost $39.95

But Got Gum comes with free gum!

"NOTE: Pack of gum IS included."

Gum and Get Some does not!

"*Gum not included. Trident gum suggested"

Amanda showcased this effect at the Blackpool convention. It was super visual and very practical and is fully workable in a close-up setting. So it delivers on its promise.

I got to know Amanda a bit at Blackpool and this a great visual production. Ideal for live close up and social media.

The style of packaging isn't something I have seen in the U.K. but it flies because it doesn't look odd and the effect is all about the impossible production.

I have ideas for this beyond the gum production.

I picked this up
Very cool effect. SUPER easy of course.

Amanda does a great job explaining it too.

And yeah, no one that I have done it for has said anything about the package. Although I do travel, so IF they did. I would say I bought it while in xxxxxxx.
but I really don't care if they were to say something. Just move on. Not an issue....

Hi Everyone

For those that might be considering purchasing Gum and Get Some there was a magic review of the effect on YouTube which said that you can only give out half of the gum that's produced and that you can't give out all of it as implied in the product description below so if you plan on giving out a lot of the gum or all of it please consider this before purchasing it.

"Snap your fingers, and right before the spectator's eyes, the pack is now full of gum. The gum that appears is completely REAL! You can hand it out for all of your new friends to enjoy."

Have a nice day.

I saw some comments where the gum would fall out of the box, when the secret move is done. As long as you put the 7 gums into the box and have them snuggly fit, the gums won’t fly out when you perform.

Check out my performance here Smile
