I hate to give a bad review. ...But this TT deserves one. I got a hard one and a soft one and the hard one wasn't worth the money for several reasons. While I am not one of those people who think that a TT could be bright red or yellow and should still not be seen. The closer to the real thing that it comes, the easier it is to learn to use it. It also broadens your maneuverability and creativity. ...But skip this one, folks. This tip is painfully small. ...And I am not kidding when I use the term, "painful." This tip is extremely small, (and my hands are not partcularly large). If you're not a young child or have particularly small, skinny thumbs, please do not waste your money on this one. I cannot use this TT. All attempts to stretch it have failed. I've got other TTs that look more real than this one, as well. It's not a good product and not worth the money. Stick to the Vernet soft tips.

Nothing special about this thumb tip. I would buy the Vernet at considerably less cost and equal in quality. Made in China. Not worth the extra $$.

If it wasn't pink it would be perfect. I'll have to stick to the old vernet thumb tip as it matches my skin colour

This is a high-quality prop that you will be able to use many different circumstances. Many magicians underestimate the impact of the simple devices magicians have used for years.

Folks,

I'm a street magician (busker) and open every one of my shows with a thumb-tip (TT) effect. I've gone through my fare share of thumb-tips and I've gotta say this TT as well as the soft version is the best available in terms of quality and detail for the price. There are better available, but they cost more and you'll have to go to a specialty site on the internet to acquire them.

For those that say that it is too small...a thumb tip is only supposed to go over your thumb nail and to your first knuckle...no further! Anybody putting a thumbtip on over their first knucle is not implementing the TT correctly.

Don't be discouraged by the negative reviews. This thumb tip kicks butt! It works. And I have never been caught while using it.

Noooo... i thouht that it was such a nice thumb tip that no one can notice it.. (but of course if it fits to my thumb.. the thumb tip is too small...) however its shape is great.. it has so many details..if you have very very small hands, you may use it.. But if you are an avarage guy, just do not buy it..
