Zusammenfassung:VLT FORS 1 observations indicate the presence of a variable significant magnetic field in the X-ray binary Cyg X-1. The importance of this investigation comes from the fact that it rules one of the most significant BH manifestations: the X-ray millisecond flickering, usually related to reconnection of magnetic lines in the innermost part of the accretion disc.
