Comments (Cosanostra Magic): Foreword by Reveen. "Darwin has put more thought into the thumb tip than anyone else in the history of magic. He is truly the king of the thumb tip." The twenty-five effects presented in this book on the subject, are audience tested and consequently not based on mere armchair conjecture.As the many working "pros" who frequent Mr. Darwin's Wednesday night magic club will attest, they have all been "red-eyed guinea pigs" to all the effects in this book! Quote: "I think the Thumb Tip is the greatest thing ever invented for the magician because it gives you the appearance of great sleight of hand instantly. The Thumb Tip is almost like Rock and Roll... You can do it the same day! It's the greatest gimmick ever invented, no doubt about it." -- Gary Darwin
