Does anyone have any Ideas for where to get a good rubber thumtip somwhere in london.

There are so many variations of TT that it's really down to what you consider to be 'good'! Some folks prefer soft and flexible whilst others prefer something firmer (OK, I know that sounds filthy but do get a grip!). If you're disposing of lighted cigarettes than hard and firm is probably better. Not being in London I can't advise much but, assuming you don't want to risk mail order from our e-magictricks hosts, then try International Magic (a web search will get the full address etc) and they will probably let you try a few out in the shop.

emagictricks.co.uk are currently showing a large selection of various types in stock for *very* reasonable prices.

It's quite often wise to have a few thumbtips kept in your stocks, as during performances they DO get grubby and marked - especially the harder plastic ones.

There are currently hybrids available too, I believe, which are hard in construction but with a soft rubber tip. I will be probably adding some to my arsenal, so I will offer any more I can to this thread in due course.
