The little finger tip is too small to hold much of anything. I bought one for my son to use however discovered quickly that it was to small even for the smallest silks I could find. It may be a good way to get slush powder into a cup without the thumb tip but I do not think there is an advantage over all to this gimmick. I am sure that someone has a useful effect for this prop however I am not that person. Not a fan of this like I am the normal Vernet TT. The good news is it is small and will only collect a small amount of dust on your shelf.
