The secret to skyrocketing your thumb tip skills is to learn how to handle the thumb tip.
Not a day goes by that I don't get asked about how to match a thumb tip color to an individual skin tone. Everyone is concerned about someone seeing it. If you handle a thumb tip properly it should not show. Most effects that I perform have a thumb tip on the thumb for less than 10% of the time.
Learning how to handle a thumb tip properly will allow you to start and end clean, and remain perfectly clean throughout the entire effect.
In this ebook, you'll learn the 22 core handling positions for the thumb tip. Then the hard part begins, you will need to practice these 22 handling positions with your right hand and with your left hand. That's a total of 44 different places that thumb tip can be at any given point during your magical effects.
The real magic begins when you learn how to combine and move between several of these positions without even thinking about it. You will get to the point where your thumb tip handling becomes second nature, and instinctive. Through daily practice, you will become so natural in your handling of the thumb tip that you can even fool magicians. The best part is that there are no fast and wacky hand movements and manipulation that quite honestly make most magicians appear a wee bit goofy.
You will learn how to handle the thumb tip in a slow, planned, proactive, and intentional manner right in front of a spectator's eyes. A well-handled thumb tip should never be seen or detected and should be incredibly angle-proof.

I discovered that if you can break down magic effects into basic easy-to-understand steps and positions, learning is greatly enhanced. It is also a trigger for thought processes. In other words, as you learn handling methods, you will discover how to use your thumb tip and your creative juices will flow. You may even begin to create your own new thumb tip magic tricks and effects. Your mind will run away with you as you think of the many thumb tip magic possibilities.
Additionally, as magic effects steps and positions are broken down and clearly mapped, they become easier to duplicate and repeat. These breakdowns also make for very easy reverse engineering of effects and moves as will be discussed later.
