"A brilliant compilation of organic effects, simple direct and magical." - Nicholas Lawrence, Creator of Smooth and Chap Switch

"Flip Balm is super visual and simple!" -Dan Hauss, Creator of Redline and Chap Slick

"Flip balm is a practical and versatile gimmick. It’s so fun to use!! It’s flippin awesome!!" -Chris Hanowell, Creator of Lip Service

Perform transpositions, transformations, color changes, and even vanishes with this gimmick specially designed by Seth Race for the lip balm that already lives in your pocket. You’ll learn multiple highly visual routines that are great in real life and on social media. Get ready to get wrecked with Flip Balm by Seth Race.

Here’s what happens:

The magician introduces a tube of lip balm to perform an observation test. The cap of the lip balm repeatedly jumps from one end to the other before the magician takes the cap off and places it in their pocket, only for the cap to reappear on the tip of the tube of lip balm not once but twice.

In addition to the Flip Balm effect, you’ll learn a color change, how to transform a tube of lip balm into a dollar bill, a multiplying lip balm effect, and even a vanish that is perfect for Instagram and Tik Tok. Flip Balm comes with a real tube of lip balm so it’s ready to go right out of the box. You’ll even learn a handling of the incredible Nicholas Lawrence effect Chap Switch, where the lip balm and a dollar bill change places, taught with full permission from the creator. Flip Balm is an incredible utility device that works not only with the included lip balm, but also many major brands so you can create your own effects with props you already own. This project features 7 effects and enough bonus ideas to keep your audiences entertained for many performances. Add an incredible lip balm utility device to your everyday carry with Flip Balm by Seth Race.

Love the Organic Miracles Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 23rd, 2022
The teaching by Craig is, as always, top-notch. Always thorough. Not rushed. It was super helpful to have the camera film from both the front and from above so you can see what the spectator should see as well as the simple but critical moves from a magician's angle. Amazing how something so simple can be so devastating in performance. Love the everyday, organic tricks like this!

Flimsy Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 19th, 2023
I was surprised by the flimsy gimmick. I had expected something a little more sturdy. It works well with Carmex lip balm in stick form. I can see this easily wearing out over time.

Other than that the demo is very accurate. What you see is what you can do. It will require you to buy another lip balm of contrasting color.

One of P3's best! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 1st, 2022
I have performed Craig Petty's color change routine with the black and red chapsticks and it is absolutely KILLING! My friends and family have said this is the best trick I have ever shown them. One of my new go-tos.

Extremely fun to perform Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 31st, 2022
I love this utility/gimmick. It's an eye catching effect with a few great endings. And the tutorial was just excellent. Craig Petty is a brilliant instructor. He takes his time and presents information in a logical, organized manner. Would purchase this again and I highly recommend.

Great Chapstick Effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 4th, 2023
Okay, so let me start by saying I've carried chapstick in my pocket everyday for years. I love items that I already carry on me being able to do a couple of effects. This is sort of getting into the EDC category, but more on that in a minute. I have a lot of chapstick based effects and gimmicks. Redline by Dan Hauss, The Chapslick Kit by Philly Magic and Dan Hauss, Smooth by Nicholas Lawrence, Cap by Byron Yung, Chapstick Addict by Jeff Prace, Flip Balm by Seth Race to name of few.
I love Seth Race's stuff! Bankript is one of my all time favorite dollar bill effects, so much so that took on the pain in the ass task of learning to make the gimmick myself just so I could give them away as impposible objects. I do wish with Flip Balm we would have gotten the gimmick in at least one other color or be shown how to make something similar ourselves. If you own the Chapslick Kit you can indeed make something similar. Most Penguin Chapstick effects (Smooth, Flip Balm) use the same black label. I've never met anyone that uses the plain original black label myself, most have some sort of flavor/color labels.
To me the real value here is the tutorials, wow! You get 2, (both around 50 min each) one by Seth Race and one by Craig Petty. Craig also brings in some good ideas, the best to me being the Double Exposure / Coin on Call style of effect. Although I'm not quite sure Craig understands the term EDC. Could you EDC Flip Balm? Sure. Should you EDC Flip Balm? Probably not unless you plan on buying more of them or you keep your gimmicks in a special case/place. I like to just throw my EDC stuff in my pocket as I usually would. If you do that with Flip Balm the gimmick could come off and potentially be ruined in your pocket. If I have to protect something or it's fragile, to me, it's not an EDC item. I need them to be tough and rugged and stand up to the wear and tear of everyday carry and use, like coins or keys for example.
All in all Flip Balm is a great addition to my ever growing Chapstick arsenal and I can't wait to see what Seth Race comes up with next!!!

Wonderful Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 28th, 2022
I absolutely love this trick. It’s super visual and can easily be handed out for inspection. The instruction by Craig Petty is invaluable. Hands down one of my favorites that I’ve received from Penguin Magic.

Ehh Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 2nd, 2022
This might just be me but I can not find a lip balm thay works with the gimmick. The letters are way to big or small and doesn't line up the gimmick shell is to long to fit them and does not fit on lip balm tubed enough that it doesn't fall off handling the gimmick alone doesn't feel comfortable for me.

Clever! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 28th, 2024
Really good trick. I personally only like one of the routines, which is by Graig Petty. In my opinion the rest of the routines are not great. You will receive a 50 minute tutorial by Seth Race and Craig Petty.

Small hands need extra work Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 11th, 2024
My hands are small. It's a curse considering I love to do magic. This trick encapsulates this very well. I love this type of trick and would carry this every day, but it's too big. My fingers can't hide the truth like Craig's can. I'm planning on making something similar with something else, or maybe try to find small chapsticks. That would be very nice. It loses a star because of the extra work to make it so I can do it. Again, I love this tool. It's easy to use and if it weren't so big, I'd handle it very well, which means it'll be no trouble for you. I had to cut the Superman coin bend gimmick with a dremel, and this will be much easier to make than doing that.
