Anyone do thimbles manipulation on stage ? Where can i learn ? I searched already , I only found a video by brad Burt ... Any pro manipulators that is good with thimble ?

Anyway , I am very very interested with Thimble Manipulation . I was inspired to learn to manipulate thimbles after watching an act by Shoot Ogawa , awesome !

click HERE for the short clip

Have you seen Joe Mogar's DVD?

http://www.mogarsmagic.com/

Also Tarbell, Volume 4 has a section on Thimble Magic
FIFTY FAKES by George Johnson can be found on Learned Pig in their old books archives, along with Later Magic by Hoffmann - both of which have sections devoted to thimble magic.

One problem with thimble magic that is making it become a thing of the past is that their use is becoming rare (at least in the USA). A good substitute that people can understand is to use the tops of magic markers instead of thimbles. Thus your introduction to the act might be where you take a magic marker to write something, and stick the cap on your finger. Then you begin your act by trying to remove the cap and replace it on the marker, only it vanishes, changes color, etc.

Jeff mcbride does timble manipulations too......

i think u can get it from world class manipulations........... don't know which volume though

Jennifer : Thanks ! I'll look into it later on .

Spellbinder : Thanks for telling me how to start a thimble manipulating act . I am only interested with thimble manipulation , I don't want magic tricks about it Lol . I hope you know what i mean , but anyway , thanks for telling me about mogarsmagic.com , appreciate it !!

Regards

I E-mailed Joe Mogar , about his book "DIGITAL EFFECTS" he replied me . I paid him , then i E-mailed him again , he never reply me after i made my payment ... Hmm ? Know whats goin on ? So weird

I'm not sure where you got the idea that thimble magic and thimble manipulation are two separate things. Everything you see in Shoot Ogawa's act started as a thimble magic trick. It is his presentation that turns the individual tricks into what you call thimble maniuplation, but I call a thimble magic routine.

Kenny,

Give it a few days. You only 2 days has passed between your posts.
If your book doesn't arrive in 3 weeks, maybe then its ok to wonder or complain.

One more thing you got to realise, you and him are in different timezones.

yay! Finally he replied me , he said he was having his weekend holiday . Lol . Thanks spellbinder for the wonderful website again ! I wonder if jennifer , jeff gan and spellbinder perform thimble magic .... Haha , I am going to Korea on 30th of May , thats why i am so "kanchiong" . Lol . Anyway , thanks for the replies again !

Regards

If Jeff Gan did thimble manipulation, his ones would be custom made.

;)

LOL !!!

I just placed my order for the Samurai Thimble DVD and a set of thimble by Shoot !! Holy ..... I can't wait for the dvd and joe mogar's book to reach ..... I will write a review shortly , after i got the book and dvd . :D

Good luck in practising!!!!

Bless u always!!

I can't answer for the others, but yes, I have always done thimble magic. However, when I changed over to Wizard style magic, the thimbles became somewhat transformed to skulls and things. I now do a bizarre sort of magic using the old thimble moves but this time for making little creatures come to life in my hands.
