Painted, airbrush-style backglass in hot oranges, browns and cream. Left of centre, a large two-line title in heavy cursive reads Black Magic in red-orange letters with cream and dark-brown drop shadows, over a pale grey-blue cloudy sky panel. Top left is a white rounded instruction plate with two dark rectangular windows showing 0 and 0, flanked by tiny blue lettering; below it a brown score reel window reads 246650 in orange digits, framed by a pale blue scroll of ribbon-like artwork. The centre-right figure is a large nude woman with flame-like orange hair standing upright, one arm extended to the left and the other bent at her hip, wearing only boots. Across the lower centre a second nude female figure lies horizontally, face down and pale-skinned, draped over a dark stone ledge with white and greenish mist rising from a cauldron-like basin below her. Lower left is a snarling orange lion head with open jaws and visible teeth. The background is a hellish scene of swirling brown smoke, flames, monstrous faces, a large pale skull near the top centre, and a curved tusk or horn on the right bearing a round medallion of small squares.
