Paradox Button by Julio Montoro and Ultrabello - Reality Is Not What It Seems
What if everything you thought you saw was a lie?
Paradox Button is not just a magic trick. It's a visual riddle that breaks your spectators' brains in the best possible way. Created by the legendary Julio Montoro and crafted by Ultrabello, this is close up magic that plays with perception itself.
Here's what happens: You show a simple button with two holes, sealed inside an envelope for complete transparency. A red thread passes cleanly through both holes. Everything looks normal. Everything makes sense. Until it doesn't.
You remove the button and slowly peel away what everyone thought were holes. They were never holes at all. Just black stickers hiding an impossible truth. And what looked like an ordinary button from the very beginning? It was never a button either.
Welcome to a visual paradox that reveals itself only at the final moment.
Why Paradox Button Works So Well
The genius of Paradox Button is in its simplicity. There's no sleight of hand, no complicated moves. The magic happens in your spectators' minds as reality shifts right in front of their eyes.
This is the kind of trick that gets shared. People will talk about it, try to explain it, and fail. Because the paradox doesn't just fool the eyes - it challenges logic itself.
Perfect for close up performers and walk around magicians who want something different. Something that makes people think. Something memorable.
Built for Real World Performance
Julio Montoro knows what working magicians need. Paradox Button is designed for performers who work in real conditions with real audiences. The effect is visual, clean, and completely baffling.
Use it as an opener to grab attention, or save it as a closer that leaves them scratching their heads. Either way, it packs small and plays huge.
The quality craftsmanship from Ultrabello ensures this isn't just a clever idea - it's a practical miracle you'll actually perform. Everything is designed to last through countless performances.
A New Kind of Impossibility
Most magic tricks show you something impossible. Paradox Button does something different. It shows you something that seemed completely normal, then reveals it was impossible all along. That delayed realization hits even harder than a flash of magic.
Nothing breaks. Everything breaks.
It's a puzzle piece that becomes a puzzle. A button that was never a button. Holes that were never holes. And a moment of magic that spectators will never forget.
If you love visual magic that makes people question reality, Paradox Button deserves a place in your close up repertoire. This is Julio Montoro at his creative best.
