I just finished watching the DVD. I agree with the other positive reviews here. I really like this, a lot! The DIY is very simple and not knuckle busting and Kevin goes over everything in very good detail. I don't like arts and crafts mainly because of my busy schedule but the work involved with these effects are easy and won't take long. This is one gum effect I will be making and using. I think this is very fairly priced for all the different variations you can do using the 5 pack of gum and the strips. Definitely looking forward to using these ideas!
Very nice Kevin!! RNK

I have been stockpiling Wrigley's "5" gum packaging ever since buying Victor Sanz's "Red Mint" a couple of years ago, so I was really happy to see COHESIVE be released. The relative lack of reviews had me concerned, so I held out until recently. (A special shout out to the folks who offer up their reviews here, it's really helpful. I caved when I finally read Madison's review.)
Not much I can add to what's already been said, other than to chime in that I, too, really like this release. I was expecting the angles on Gum 2x/3x to be really bad, but was pleasantly surprised. And Recycled Gum just kills me! The empty display looks awesome, the transformation is super clean, and the spectators can handle the pack. If I had to get nitpicky, the only piece that didn't really appeal to me is "X Marks the Spot". But that's probably more of a reflection of how organically strong the other stuff is. The other material is motivated, in the "ham sandwich" sort of way. ("I like gum - here's a pack - oh no it's empty - what to do...") One final thought/consideration: I'm really hoping this form factor gum packaging is here to stay. The packaging is not unlike a card case, and I'm sure there are some card magic concepts that are just waiting to be applied to this kind of gum. And, of course, it would be a bummer to invest the time learning this stuff, only to have the gum product itself be phased out or changed. Great release, really happy with this. - Ross |

I created this in 2013 so five gum was still available in the UK from what my friends there told me. Sad to see it discontinued as this project was filmed 2015.

Just tried to order via that link but they do not ship to the UK unfortunately so looks I am stuck with an usable product . I cannot believe UK dealers are selling this if you can't buy the gum or infact are even advertising the effect , Tarik 😞

It's a bit like money tricks that only work in countries where different denomination bills are the same size so are useless in the UK. |

Yes you can pay pal monies back for anything especially an unusable product in your region Tarik 🙂
