How a thumb tip works

A thumb tip is a hollow, flesh-coloured cap shaped like the end of a thumb. You wear it openly on your thumb, where people do not notice it, and use the space inside to load or steal a small object. It is the secret behind many classic vanishes, from a silk to a pinch of salt.

Choosing a thumb tip

  • Soft tips are flexible and comfortable, and look natural up close.
  • Hard tips hold their shape and are easier to load quickly.
  • Size matters: the tip should cover your thumb to just past the knuckle without slipping.
  • Pick the skin tone closest to your own.

Questions, answered.

What is a thumb tip used for in magic?

A thumb tip lets you secretly hold, vanish or produce small items such as silks, salt, flash paper or a borrowed bill. It is worn on the thumb in full view and goes unnoticed because people expect to see a thumb there.

Soft or hard thumb tip?

Soft tips feel and look more natural up close. Hard tips keep their shape and are quicker to load. Many magicians own one of each.

How do I choose the right size?

The tip should slide over your thumb past the first knuckle and stay put without pinching. If you are between sizes, the larger size is usually easier to use.
