Black Lips by Julio Montoro, Victor Sanz & Ultrabello
What if a simple black sticker could become an actual portal to another dimension?
Black Lips transforms everyday currency into the impossible. Here's the effect: your spectator signs a borrowed bill, you place a small black sticker on it, and suddenly that sticker becomes a real black hole. Coins, cards, even folded bills visually pass through this void in reality. Then, just as mysteriously, the hole vanishes back into an ordinary sticker. The signed bill? Completely intact, totally examinable, and yours to hand out immediately. No switch, no funny business.
This isn't just another money magic trick. It's a piece of visual poetry that plays big for audiences while staying intimate enough for close-up work. The genius is in the simplicity: spectators understand the premise instantly, which makes the impossibility hit even harder.
What Makes Black Lips Special
The gimmick is handcrafted in Spain with serious attention to detail, and it's fully customizable to any currency in under three minutes. Whether you perform with dollars, euros, pounds, or pesos, you'll be ready to go. The included video tutorial features Julio Montoro and Victor Sanz walking you through every nuance, from basic handling to advanced presentations that'll make this effect your new closer.
Black Lips works for street magic, restaurant gigs, close-up shows, and even parlor settings. It's fast, it's clean, and it gets reactions that'll remind you why you fell in love with magic in the first place. The method is clever but manageable, making this accessible for intermediate performers who want something that looks like real magic.
