    Jay Sankey's "Wrap it Up!" trick uses a pink balloon, safety pin, hole punch, tape, and gum wrappers to seemingly produce a piece of gum from his jacket. The performer pins the balloon inside their jacket and marks the string to appear like the gum wrapper. They pretend to chew gum and search their pockets, pulling out the "wrapper" attached to the balloon from inside their jacket. The performer then mime wrapping and tossing the "gum" in the air, with the balloon pulling the wrapper back inside as they catch the invisible gum.

    Jay Sankey's Wrap it Up!

    "Method: For this upbeat opener you have to be wearing a jacket because you will be
    using a pull. However... it is a particularly unusual pull. To make it you need a pink
    animal baloon, a safety pin, a hole punch, some clear tape, and two individually
    wrapped pieces of pink bubble gum. You'll also need a black marker.
    Take the balloon and tie a couple of knots in the end WITHOUT the hole. You
    should tie the knots directly on top of each other. Now, unwrap one of the pieces of
    gum, dicard the gum, and keep the wrapper. Take the hole punch and punch a hole in
    the dead center of the wrapper, then feed the balloon through this hole so that the
    knotted end ends up against the INSIDE of the wrapper. The knots should be bulky
    enough so that they will not slip through the hole. To finish the preparation, pin the
    end of the balloon with the hole to the right inside of your jacket at about chest height
    and slip the wrapped piece of gum into your right outside pocket. Reach into your
    jacket with your left hand, pull out the wrapper, and then have the right hand take it
    as in Fig 1. ( you don't have the picture). Now, with the marker, darken the section of
    the balloon that runs from your jacket cuff to inside the jacket.
    To begin, walk up to your audience while pretending to be chewing a piece of
    gum...this will require practice to be convincing without appearing forced. After half
    a minute or so of talking/chewing, suddenly realize that you are chewing gum and
    fish around in your pockets -apparently for the wrapper- and get the wrapped piece of
    gum in your right pocket into the right hand finger palm. Open the left side of your
    jacket with your left hand, dip your right hand inside, and come out empty. Then,
    open the right side of your jacket with your right hand and move your left inside.
    Once there, grab the dangling end of the balloon -with the knots and loose wrapper
    on it- and pull it out far enough to be taken with the right fingers which let go of the
    edge of the jacket as the left hand moves out. The knotted end should be firmly
    pinched between your right thumb and middle finger to insure that the wrapper
    doesn't tear or bend under the tension of the pull.
    From the front, the audience see the back of your hand with a gum wrapper held at
    the fingertips.
    At this point you have two options. Either you can reach up to your mouth with your
    left hand, pretend to remove some gum, and then mime putting it in the wrapper OR
    you can move both hands up to your mouth and mime taking the gum directly into
    the wrapper. Choose whichever feels more natural for you.
    Either way, when you've apparently put the gum in the wrapper, grab the front edge
    of the wrapper and bend it down and forward so that by slightly tilting your right
    hand, the crowd gets a good look at the supposed lump of gum sitting in the middle
    of the wrapper. Be careful not to flash a corner or side of the finger palmed gum in
    the right hand.
    To finish, simply toss the wrapper and the palmed gum straight up in the air and the
    wrapper will immediately be pulled back inside your jacket as the fresh piece of gum
    continues to ride-out the toss upwards. Catch it in your obviously empty hands and
    give it away."
    -excerpt from Twenty Years of Sankey Magic p. 8
