I know of the worries that people have about this gimmick because of its simplicity, but really it
wouldn't matter if it were flashing. The gimmick is only detectable after telling the audience
where to look. There is really no need to worry that it would ever be spotted. The length of this
thumb is:
|<---------------------------->| (6.5cm / 2.5")
And it's diameter:
|<--------->| (2cm / 0.875")
If you are really worried about a thumbtip being
noticed, you should be a light-coloured silk to accompany the TT, because it is ever so slightly
transparent. You will really fool everyone with this gimmick.
I think this thumb fits my
hand very well, so I will give a measurement for my hand for those who have never bought a TT before
to make a comparison:
Thumb - 7cm x 1.5cm (2.75" x 0.5")
Hand - 20.5cm x 11 cm
(8.25" x 4.5")
(Sorry it's so long!)
Hope this has helped someone.
Thank you so much for taking time to measure and share your info. I am looking for an extra-long TT, and it looks like this is probably the longest available. I have always been baffled by the lack of such critical information as the dimensions of a TT! Who the heck knows what "medium" and "king-size" really mean? The manufacturer or Penguin should include dimensions in these product description. They could easily avoid having some kid waste his money and end up being swallowed by his new TT!!
