Remember that the gravitational attraction between two masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So creating a black hole by smashing protons into one another would have a mass equal to several thousand protons at the most. The gravitational attraction of a black hole of such a mass could be safely carried around in your pocket.
