Thimble Magic

Postby LobowolfXXX » Oct 2nd, '07, 08:11



I have the Vernet 16-pack...my fingers are on the skinny side, and I have some serious slipping going on when any finger other than my middle finger has to take one of the outer thimbles. Anyone know if there are other thimble sets of different size?

I am not recommending these because I have never used or seen them. I just know they are on the market. Maybe they might be something you can look into further.
They are call Automatic Thimbles by Hottrix - the company that makes Handz-up and Inferno.

Perhaps...jury is still out, and I'm not certain it will become a staple of my act. I will say that Shoot Ogawa, who is as hot a close-up perfomer as there is around these parts, added a thimble routine to his always-expanding repertoire, and my layman friends who have seen him greatly enjoyed it.
