Cheap plastic, see through, colored silks can be seen, so you can't use anything that isn't near
skin tone.
Looks NOTHING like the picture, that was the last batch from pre 2017. If you're
buying after Jan 2017, the new ones are garbage.

I like the details on this thumb tip, it is allot bigger than vernet's standard thumb tip. It fits
over my thumb all the way up to the joint that connects my thumb to my hand, which is also a +.
But... they are also very thick. The border of the tip is cut in such a way its very visible from
the side. That being said, the thumb tip is always a nightmare seen from the side. Proper handling
makes this thing virtually undetectable.
And it's less than three bucks. Can't really be
disappointed for that price.

this thing is not realistic looking!
but it is comfortable
it is useful because it is soft
plastic
it doesn't cost much more then a vernet
so it is good as an alternate for
specific
needs

The quality of this product is great - a lot of good detail.
Unfortunately, what others
have said about the edge also proved to be true for me. It takes away somewhat from the "HD" quality
when you have to be a little more careful than normal when dealing with the angles.
Undecided if I'll use it or not but the price was completely reasonable so not much of a loss if
it ends up being only for practice and a backup.

These thumb tips are definitely "bigger" then other types on the market, and also slightly more
detailed. For the price they are ok, but honestly these are a little to thick and not as soft as you
might expect. If your comparing these to the "in your face" type penguin sells they are no
comparison! But are better then the average thumb tips for sure

In my opinion, this is the best looking thumb tip on the market. Looks great and is very well made.
I highly recommend picking up this thumb tip or two for any pro or hobbyist magician.

If you are Caucasian looking for a fake thumb that looks like a real thumb, you've found it! It has
all the realistic looking thumb wrinkles, it's about the size of anyone's thumb, it's a little
softer than most other thumb tips, has no plastic seams, and it's got great color (has a few red
hues to it) so that it looks awfully close to Caucasian/white/light skin. It's a perfect fake thumb.
But it's not a great magicians thumb tip. Given it's softer plastic, it sticks to your finger more,
so it's harder to ditch or take off. It also has a thick ridge of plastic at the base of it that
doesn't blend well or feel right. I prefer my classic thumb tip, despite it not looking as much like
a real thumb as this one.

The HD is molded out of a hard plastic. It looks very realistic and is a vast improvement over
conventional tips. It fits me well and will definitely be put to good use but I have narrow fingers
so the one size may not fit all.

For the price, this is by far the most "realistic" looking TT. There are no seems, and the detail
and paint are amazing! However, the edge is just to thick. I know, I know, if used properly a bright
green thumbtip should go undetected, but this is just to thick of an edge. If Alan Wong makes a
second generation TT, a thinner edge is the ONLY improvement that needs to be made.

The thumb tip matches my thumb as close as any I have ever had, it also works well doing the dollar
switch and holds Fearson's sugar bunny allowing me to perform it while showing hands empty.
