I've got the same problem, I use a children's size TT. Seems to fit me pretty well.

The newer ones aren't the children's 'junior' TT—which don't seem to fit ladies all that well, as ladies usually have more delicate fingers.

They are made by Vernet for use on your Fs... but they are great for use on the T, especially a more feminine 'slender' T.

Mrs Seige was the inspiration for this one. Her dainty little hands are bizarre... her T is the same width as my index F.

aint tried that but the spongeball will absorb the water and it wont be able 2 pore back out ov the TT

Can I just point out to thoses who think there tt dont fit propley. The TT should NOT cover the whole thumb is just fit at the first knuckle. Also you wont get that popping sound when you take it of etc. But all on bad, half on good.

And to follow on from Markdini's post, don't worry if it doesn't look quite right either.

My thumb looks like it's been hit with a hammer when wearing it, not to mention that all my nails are pink except for the hideous, fat thumb. Still it never got noticed and my hands got examined pretty closely.

Just looks so obvious to me but not one person even suspected it, there were theories that things were up my sleves, tucked into my watch, held in some impossible palm but no one even came close.

Yes I bought the Full F pack, and the smallest F works perfect for my daughters T. Not sure if I can use the other Fs how they should be used though.
Has anyone used an F in a routine before? The TT can be hidden quite casually, but I can't imagine getting away with an F not being seen.

The Ts come supplied singly, this isn't the 'F set'.

And yeah, I've used Ts to fool 'wise' spectators before. Including Mrs Seige, who can guess a TT routine a mile off. This one was on my pinky, and she had no idea.

Having just mentioned in my other thread that I'd never used a TT I decided to give it a crack yesterday. So at dinner I produced a note in a flash of flame (thank you David Stone) then rolled up said note and poured the obligatory salt into it and made my mum jump out of her seat when I whipped the note open over her dinner without making it instantly inedible. The family at large decided that I'd surreptitously poured the salt onto the floor rather than into the note, then got really annoyed when I reproduced it. I think I'll be using one a lot from now on.

I just got a bit of advice on these. Someone asked me if i use a TT in a close-up position and i thought well surely everyone is gonna clock on but he assured me no one does so im trying it out next time i do some close-up i was gonna use them for stage or cabaret but now it looks like they will be useful for all types of performance.

talking of f's and i take no credit for this but i seem to remember a routine were you take a large silk, too big to fit into a tt push it into your hand leaving just a little part showing.
get some spect to hold your wrist and arm so it can't vanish that way, poke the last bit in with your fingers and it vanishes.

the large silk come from your jacket pocket and you will need an extra special something which i had to remamke because i have girly hands that are more oriental in paleness than a regular tt colour on top of your f and corner.

hope this is vague enough.

I still have no confidence at all with TT's. I know that after reading this thread i should be rearing to go with my TT but unfortunately its just not happening for me. Its mainly dues to my wierd shaped thumbs and fairly light skin.

The shape of me thumb is a problem and my fingers are thin at the top, fat in the middle and thin at the bottom. On top of all this they're little and stumpy. Now i know you say that people don't botice these things but when I'm wearing the TT it really does stick out like a saw thumb (no pun intended).

Also all the TTs i have tried have quite dark colouring. This means thats my thumb with the tip on looks like ive had it in mud for the past few days.

Just wondering if anyone has had the same problems as me and how they overcome them?

Bear in mind that a TT doesn't have to go on your T - the third or middle F is just as good a place to park it and use it from. If you get a plopping sound then just make a small airhole between the T and the 'nail' where it won't be seen. Sadly this means it won't be much good with liquids afterwards. A good wedding effect is to get the bride or groom's place card, display it back and front as completely ordinary , fold it over and shake loads of confetti or glitter from the card. Decorative and an excellent springboard for cheesy comments about a glittering future together etc.

you will probably need to go for the asian type of tt like me, i,m sure seige will have some in stock.
i'll have contact him again as he seems to have missed me e-mail.
