Thumb Tip Close Up Concepts
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Dirk Stone (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 13 July, 2025)
Got this ebook today and couldn’t put it down. It’s way more than just thumb tip concepts. Every magician should read this. Lots of great information. This book is worth a lot and should not be free.
Dye Tube Masterclass
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Edwards Melvyn (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Tuesday 08 October, 2024)
I have played with the dye tube for many years. This man knows his stuff. His handling is very different from the traditional handling
and much more practical. The explanations are very concise. A couple of close-ups would have helped. But you can get the basic concept from his great explanations. A great buy and it is a master class from a guy who knows and has worked out great methods.
Swami Theory 101
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Ken Archer (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 07 October, 2024)
This is a good primer for beginners on the Swami. A lot of essential ground is covered with a wide range of useful inputs. Of course, success with the Swami can come only with sustained practice. My only minor quibble here is the accompanying 38-page PDF has almost 15 pages of ads not related to Swami.
A Different Silk Vanish
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Wyatt Wyatt (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Thursday 17 August, 2023)
Hey...a different silk vanish is great...I never leave home without my thumb tip for quick on the spot magic...but now that I use the dye...plus n tube...it brings color to the table. Coins and cards are expected when it comes to magic...but when you surprise a silk routine… it's different and that's why it's known as a different silk vanish...the surprise...take a tip...don't leave home without it...you'll see the difference.
Thumb Tip Handling Masterclass

Wow...I'm a Busker and use a large purple diamond cut silk to help gather a crowd, been doing this for a while...really cool when 8 quick videos can make an old dog change part of his game. Gonna be using the tip for more than just making 5 year old's jaws drop from now on. If you're a new magician this is a great little course, if you are an old dog you're not gonna learn anything earth-shattering but it'll make ya rethink the versatility of an old favorite. Well Done Hal!!! this is a great little course and I recommend it for both the Rookie and the Experienced Wizard.
22 Thumb Tip Handling Positions
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Chet Cox (confirmed purchase)

I only THOUGHT I knew thumb tips.
I didn't know how to practice and rehearse while walking with my walker. I didn't know I COULD practice while using my walker, much less do it invisibly. I didn't know I could rehearse while riding in a bumpy bus or crowded car. I didn't know I could paint a thumb tip bright blue and it would still be invisible.
I didn't know how to make sure several thumb and finger tips could be pocketed and be loaded without sight and always load properly aligned with my real fingers.
I didn't know things could be done with tips far beyond vanishing and producing cloths, sponges, and things which fit into the tip.
I do now, thanks to the clear, clean instruction via text AND video by Hal McClamma. And I plan to know more and do more.
Sometimes, it's not what you don't know. It's what you don't know you don't know.
