Sweet Repeat by GRUM®, Ari Phillips, and Mona Kowalczyk

Effect

The Sweet Repeat magic trick creates a playful and baffling experience for audiences. The magician starts with a small number of candy packets (usually four) and, through a series of actions, appears to produce more candies despite visibly removing or giving some away. By the end, the magician always has six candy packets back in hand, defying logic in a fun and surprising way. The routine is interactive, colorful, and designed to generate laughter and amazement.

Full Details

The Sweet Repeat is a modern take on the classic 6 Card Repeat, replacing playing cards with vibrant Fizz Wiz popping candy packets. The trick is self-working, meaning no sleight of hand is required. A specially designed gimmick allows the magician to repeatedly "lose" candy packets while secretly retaining them, making the final reveal of all six packets seem impossible.

The routine includes audience interaction, with the magician playfully pretending to give away or drop candies, only to have them reappear. A bonus cleanup method by Juan Colas ensures the trick ends completely clean, leaving no trace of the gimmick.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is ideal for:

• Beginners – No sleight of hand is needed, making it easy to learn.
• Family entertainers – The bright, candy-based presentation works well for kids and adults.
• Street performers – The interactive and visual nature suits casual settings.
• Seasoned magicians – The routine can be adapted for more advanced presentations.

Difficulty

The Sweet Repeat is rated as easy to perform. Since it relies on a gimmick rather than sleight of hand, the main challenge is presentation—keeping the routine engaging and humorous. The included online tutorial provides performance tips to help refine timing and audience interaction.
