"I’ve never endorsed a product faster than ‘Tongue-tied’. The novel premise paired with the ingenious method verifies what we already know: no one but Mario could have created this!" - Kyle Purnell

"I must write this in capitals. Ahem.. "THIS IS SO CLEVER!" Another Bold and beautiful piece from one of the most creative minds on the planet. Jesus I’m not joking it is so good what a great idea!" - Nikola Arkane

"Mario Lopez is an absolute creative genius. His creations are always very unique and unlike anything anyone has seen before. Tongue Tied is no exception. This is that sort of effect that you would expect Paul Harris to create, a real moment of strange. It’s the sort of effect that will make your audience questions whether they are witnessing magic or an incredible skill. But however you chose to present it the bottom line is that it’s awesome. Congratulations Mario on another home run!" - Craig Petty

"Tongue Tied is one of those offbeat magical moments that you’ll be trying fit into to your show." - Daniel Chard

"I've been working with balloons since I was four, and I'm really excited to play around with Tongue Tied. The method is really clever and easy to perform. I already have multiple ideas ranging from a fun throwaway gag to stage applications. Balloons themselves are magical and Tongue Tied is a great magical application for them." - Rob Balchunas

Do you have friends who can open a Starburst wrapper with their teeth or tie a cherry stem in a knot with their tongue? One-up them with no dexterity required! A trick that no audience will see coming and gets laughter and applause whenever you perform it.

Here’s what happens:
1. You inflate a balloon in your mouth without using your hands at all.
2. When you take the balloon out of your mouth, the knot is tied!

The secret to Tongue Tied is a clever little device that does the hard part. This is the most magical way to inflate a balloon. In addition to the instructional video, you receive a reusable gimmick that you can use in any standard party balloon and some balloons to get you started performing right away! Be the life of the party with Tongue Tied by Mario Lopez.

Fun trick. I got mine in the mail a couple of days ago, watched the tutorial, started doing it immediately…with great reactions. An old girlfriend said, “I remember when we were dating, you were trying to impress me with tying a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue…now look how far you’ve come!” 🤪
Great trick, Mario! 👍
By the way, I’m 73 years old and still doing silly antics for laughs and applause!

Enjoyable Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 20th, 2025
People love this trick! this is a trick that almost everyone can relate to. Everyone has played with balloons as a kid and most people struggle tying a balloon, so when you do it in your mouth it is very impressive and you get great reactions. The trick is quite easy to preform. Once you try the method out a couple of times than you are set! The balloon is not 100% examinable, and does require a tiny bit of audience management, but the ballon looks great after the effect and is able to be bounced throughout the audience or handed to someone for a little while. I have been preforming RepAir for quite a while and this is a great trick to do right before it! Thanks Mario!

Childhood whimsy but not for children Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 14th, 2025
Mario, you're a genius! This is art. This is whimsy. This is perfect and I'm in love.

But you want me to just wax poetic, you want the details right?

Let's go...

First, let's talk negatives. This is the only effect I've ever owned that had a warning on it that didn't involve fire. As such, practice this with a buddy and perform it with someone that knows basic safety procedures. This involves putting a thing in your mouth so there's a choking risk, albeit equally small. This is therefore not recommended for our younger performers without more than usual supervision.

That sounds scarier than it really is but I just don't want to hear about us losing someone because of an avoidable circumstance.

What kind of performer is it for? It's playful, it's going to get a laugh. If you want those things in your act, here's the sign you were looking for.

Who is this best performed for? Uhhhh everyone that doesn't hate fun really. It's goofy and playful. Maybe not the best handout ironically but that's beside the point.

How technically demanding is it? Not very. It takes a little practice but you've got this. It's honestly one of the few effects where it is genuinely easier than what it looks like you're doing. Remember, this about tying a balloon knot with just your tongue!

How clean does it end? I wouldn't hand out the balloon but you could.

How much time to reset? This takes me just under a minute to set up for a show. After some careful experimenting I've been able to have things set and ready to go for hours before a performance. Resetting is the same unless you need to recycle EVERYTHING then it takes an extra minute. Easy and simple.

In conclusion, this is playful. It's comical. It's slightly dangerous and it has landed every time I've done it. It's a quality effect and one that's permanent in my performances now!

fun effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 8th, 2025
I would probably just use this as a one off fun trick for parties. the one complaint I have is that in the video he has a full bag of "gimmicks" that he said you can only use once or twice at most per performance. But you only get 10. You can buy them on your own obviously but i wish it came with more. Other than that its a really fun trick

Video includes a great 2nd routine. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 7th, 2025
I like offbeat tricks like this one that are "magical" and don't require cards or coins.

The second routine can be the intro into Tongue Tied. Kind of a torn and restored balloon trick with a demonstration of air coming out of the torn off part.

Order extra packs from Penguin if you plan to give out balloons. $9.95 a pack. It may only show after the purchase.
