HD Thumb Tip

Very nice "looking" thumb tip, but with some design reservations...
1) Small size - I have small hands and the HD thumb tip was too tight to fit comfortably on my thumb -- not workable for a bill switch. I put it in hot water for a minute to soften it up and then pushed a piece of hard rubber into the opening and let it sit overnight to make it usable. Very surprising that it was made so small.
2) I realize a thumb tip is not supposed to be seen, however the edge on the opening is a lot thicker than a Vernet thumb tip. Instead of it tapering to meet your thumb, you see a noticeable thick ridge around the edge of the opening.

I also had a ridge where it is supposed to blend into the skin of my thumb. I shaved it down with a scissors, but don’t recommend the likely hacked-up and jagged look I created, so I recommend that only downfall (and small size) be remediate in it’s 2.0 version.

This is an awesome thumb tip. The detail on it makes it look really realistic. It may not match your skin tone perfectly but no one notices it. You can also perform so many great effects with this.

I got the HD Thumb Tip and LOVE it! So realistic. Highly recommend it.

Best thumb tip I've ever owned. It's slightly smaller than Vernet King size, definitely larger than Classic and Medium thumb tips. I'm going to get a couple more and see if I can cut them to different lengths. It's also somewhere in between hard and soft as compared to Vernet. I can use it for the Koslowski switch just fine, it doesn't hang up because of grip or friction inside the tip. But at the same time, it improves your grip on the OUTSIDE, meaning you can, for instance, hold a can or bottle or glass with condensation on it much better than the smooth, hard thumb tips.

The anatomical detail is very high. But the biggest advantage to me is color. The skin tone of this tip is an almost perfect match for me. Granted, this won't hold true for everyone, I can only speak for myself. To me, color is the single biggest factor in concealing a thumb tip while BRIEFLY flashing it. These reviews that complain about the thick edge apparently don't have a clue about using a thumb tip. You should never let the audience look at your thumb long enough to notice a detail like that. What they WILL notice is a drastic difference in color.

There are ways to use a thumb tip where its never seen at all. You can use a tip painted fire engine red if you handle it correctly. To each his own but I don't like that restriction, I want to be able to briefly gesture, wave my hand or point at something. Don't get me wrong, I love Vernet thumb tips and will still use them, but this has become my new favorite because of the color, it just gives me an extra little peace of mind to know its as absolutely invisible as it can possibly be.

Highest recommendation.

Pretty nice looking thumb. A little longer than the vernet. Nicely done. I’m Hispanic so the color kinda sort of matches but in the end you’re not suppose to flash this thing to where people can see it anyway. I like it.

I got the soft version. Very lifelike.

This is a great thumb tip. A little tight for my thumb, but I am new to using tips and haven’t 100% figured out the best way to use them. Pretty realistic looking as well. I have been using it as a “stretching thumb” trick since you can pretty much burn the tip and no one will ever tell it’s fake. I’d give this tip a four out of five stars.

Love Vernet but wanted to try this one, got the soft version free with store credit. A thumb tip looking realistic is irrelevant because it should never be seen in the first place, this does look good but what I’m more impressed with is the material they used. It is really soft and bendy, and it is bigger than a classic Vernet, I can vanish a Canadian quarter in this easily which is awesome. I will buy the hard version next time but honestly I really like this soft version.

Recommend if you want more room than a classic Vernet tip.

Really like it. A robust and well-made utility item that inspires confidence during use. The durability is a big plus, especially for performers who use these kind of gimmicks regularly. It handles naturally and feels comfortable, reducing any worry during performance. A dependable tool that does exactly what it should and holds up well over time. In my EDC.

Smaller than a Vernet Medium, and a pinkish skin tone. Unusable for me.
