Magic Tape

This invisible tape is able to make tears in paper magically disappear. Accordingly, the packaging for this product had to fulfil similar wondrous qualifications. And it does: it makes the tape inside the box magically disappear. The disappearance, illusion-like effect was achieved by means of a specially designed ultra-thin mirror that makes the box look empty. The slanted position of the mirror inside the box creates a hollow space in the back part of the box, where the tape lies hidden and “invisible”.
