This is a great classic. It is easy and fun to perform and spectators get a huge kick out of this trick. With Thumb Fun, the performer allows the spectator to pick a card and does not reveal it to the performer. The performer then shows a stack of 5 small blank pieces of white paper and after displaying that his thumb is clean, he presses it onto one of the pieces of papers and reveals a thumb print with a tiny image of the selected card, printed on the paper.
I have a dim recollection of seeing this trick as a kid, many decades ago. Discontinued since then, it was brought back and updated by Devin Knight, with permission .
This trick comes with the necessary small pieces of white paper and two double sided pages of instructions. The instructions are clearly printed with excellent illustrations, which are easy to follow and understand. This is not like so many tricks where the written instructions have been copied over and over so that it is blurry and barely legible. These instructions are newly printed and not only contain the instructions, but suggested patters and Sid Lorraine’s one-liner gags he used to use when performing this trick. The one liners are a bit outdated and probably won’t be used.
You can reveal different outcomes, different selected cards, ESP symbols or even a custom word or drawing.
The ad copy is accurate except for the statement that there are “no sleights.” That is not accurate. There is a move that needs to be done, but it is as easy as waving hello to a friend.
This is fun for audiences of all ages, fun in a close-up or strolling situation and can be carried around in your wallet at all times.
