“I hate gum tricks, but I love this one. I’m fooled.” – Justin Flom

Nothing is more organic, spontaneous, or surprising to spectators than taking an ordinary object and creating a miracle. That’s exactly what you’ll learn to do on Kevin Li’s Cohesive. Here you’ll learn the secrets behind a series of strikingly visual effects using a familiar object that everyone loves- gum. Not only will you be able to stun them with something impossible, but you’ll also leave them with a delicious treat!

“Cohesive is highly visual, organic, and has become one of my go-to effects for my close-up routines.”
– Rob Anderson

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Recycled Gum – Clearly show an empty pack of gum. Now close it — the pack is completely refilled. Now you can hand out gum for you and your friends to share!

Fresh Mint – Change the color and flavor of the gum in the pack with only a simple wave of the hand.

X Marks the Spot – Draw an X on the outside of a mint strip pack. By rubbing your finger over the pack, the X has penetrated and is now on the inside of the package.

Appearing Strips – Show an empty mint strip pack, and magically refill it with mint strips that you can hand out.

“Gum 3x looks dope! I can’t wait to learn that!”
