Volume 1: Thumbtips

We begin our series with Volume 1, which is perhaps the greatest assemblage of magic possible with the humble thumbtip. Not only are all the basics covered, but you'll learn how to make a "nesting" thumbtip, several effects you can perform anytime and anywhere, and even two larger routines suitable for bigger audiences.

If you have never used a thumbtip before, this is the perfect primer. If you consider yourself a thumbtip expert, there is still a selection of brand-new, unpublished routines and concepts.
