Lip Smacker by Paul Harris - Pouring a couple of breath mints onto someone's hand is one of the most natural social interactions known to modern man (and woman).
The Effect If you could then make of the breath mints VANISH out of her hand...then re-appear in your LIPS...well, then you'd just about have the most perfect ice breaker possible, not to mention appealing minty fresh breath!
This astonishing ice breaker is exactly what Paul Harris carries with him when he needs a super natural way to LipSmack a new friend.
She clearly sees two mints in her hand, you never touch the mints or her hand (even though you might want to) but when she opens her hand one mint has COMPLETELY VANISHED and suddenly re-appears between your curiously pursed lips (and yes, the mints can be eaten!)
All you need to LipSmack your audience is contained within a single ingeniously-gimmicked box of pocket-size breath mints.
LipSmacker! can be performed while sitting, standing, or in Paul's case, while aimlessly wandering around.
Paul Harris' LipSmacker is guaranteed to take your breath away!
What You Get Resets in seconds, completely self-contained. No palming or sleights. Comes complete with a box of the finest quality industrial strength breath mints.

This one I was hesitant to use at first and thougth: this is more a prank than a magic trick. I thought it would be obvious to my magic-proof girlfriend. I just showed it to her because I didn't have anything better to do and: after 2 repeats she was - obviously - even more baffled then after the first time. Which still astonishes me, to be honest, I would have thought she would figure it out or trick me or something. At least after the repeats. This is one of the tricks that might go into the drawer because the perfomer kind of doesn't trust the props or himself enough and gets paranoid about if it will work or not. Well, at least you read my experience.
"But I SAW them. I really did!"
No you see them, now you don't, I guess.
:)
Don't like the fact that I will have to go mint-hunting at some point, can't get them where I live. But there are probably 40 or so inside.
Would also like to say that I had the same concern about not being able to practice this in somebody's hands, but then again there is only one right way to do it anyway (though different ideas come with the instructions), and I didn't practice for more than 5 minutes. A mirror will do and your own hand. And you can also practice by putting them on the table instead.

This is a great gimmick. 4 because mine got a little messed up in the mail and you kinda need a spectators hand to practice, but it's truely a great trick!

Truly an ingenious trick. The Kennedy/Harris collaboration has produced the best close-up effect in my routine. Very easy to perform, and get's a terrific reaction every time. Just love it.

Hey guys, everything you read so far is true! This trick is very strong and people WILL remember it forever. It all happens right in their hands, when you didn't even TOUCHED them! Boom! one of the mints disappears from their hand and immediately show between your lips!!!
The reason I gave it 4 and not 5 is because the gimmick is pretty small and if you're not careful enough and you let your spectator do a 'wrong' move, you might loose your gimmick (and in my case - for life.) I’ve just had it for few days, I love it, it’s amazing, but, I can’t perform it anymore cause I need some more “supply” I hope penguin sells the extra gimmicks seperatly, just to be prepared for a rainy day... ;)
