All Stuck Up $10.00
Qty:
A piece of already chewed gum is stretched between the magician's hands. It is thrown into the air where it visibly changes into a freshly wrapped piece of bubble gum! Easy to do. A quick, visual trick that is perfect for "impromptu" situations. Complete with gimmick and complete instructions. Invented by Jay Sankey.
It says it right there! Invented by Jay Sankey
But the picture says, All Stuck Up by Jim Pace. I have a feeling Jay Sankey isnt getting any money for this, and I just think that if something says invented by Jay Sankey that it should actually be Jay Sankey's product.

For instance, if I were to show you a picture of "Carrie" by Stephen King, except the cover was a different picture, and it said "Prom Night" by Henry Gifford, and Stephen King didn't get any money, even though its his book, would that be ethical? What if I were to sell this on a website for less money than it should be so more people by "Prom Night" and not "Carrie" the actual book? I would get more money than Stephen King, and I didnt even write the book! Just trying to make my point.

(By the way, if Carrie isnt the one where shes screwed up on prom night, please forgive me, Ive never read the book/ seen the movie.)

You'll find that a re-released version of this (plus other handlings) is out by Jay himself called "Wrap it up".

Same stuff, more ideas.

This kind of thing happens a lot in magic (i.e. one artist releasing another's work).

Don't sweat it. Remember, these guys all talk to each other a lot.

Seems like the idea with invented by Jay and the Product release by Jim, although there are lots of versions of this trick out now.

We have one call Re-Cycle Gum, supposely invent by Sam Dalah (India Magic).
Buy who ever you like the best Jay or Jim,

Me it would be Jay, how the guy can perform an effect without watching what he is doing, is great, especially as he ALWAYS seems to be looking down his FEMALE helpers top. :-)

I'd say that The Magic Warehouse is the one with the problem, not you.
