-I was browsing the Food For Thought area and stumbled upon somthing interesting regarding TT routines...
Quote: "One of my pet peeves is the silk and TT trick you mention (Vanish). In the twenty plus years I have been involved in magic I have seen hundreds of magicians perform this trick. About 4 of them presented it correctly." Okay, I've been doing magic for 16 years, ever since I was a little kid. Magic books we're my way of practicing to read. I know and can perform a lot of really great routines that have entertained my audiences over the years. I've recieved rave review's from people who have employed me to perform. However, I have to admit...I am one of those people that does an incorrect TT routine. I know that the routine that I do is "incorrect", even though the audience is still entertained. I know from being involved in the magic community for so long that in a "correct" TT routine, one shouldn't actually be able to see the TT at all, even if one doesn't notice seeing it. We have all heard/seen of magicians who can do the routine with a TT that's painted bright Red (for example) and nobody notices. Maybe the reason I do it poorly is the fact that, even though I've been around the magic community for some time now...I have never had the chance to see a really great TT routine performed so I don't know what I'm missing. I know that my magic still needs more practice (as always). And there will always be more to learn about my art. So now I admit that my TT routine has much to be desired and I ask from you, my fellow Magi, to shed some light on what I am doing wrong and how to fix it. It is my wish that I could add my name to the list of magicians who can present a TT routine correctly. You're Fellow Magi, Jlareau :bluebikes: If nessesary we might want to move this post to secret sessions, or feel free to PM me.

I like the Patrick Page TT video. He shows the basics, and also demonstrates the "correct" methods, and the "incorrect" methods. Also has some great routines in this video. I think I paid $18.99 on sale for mine, and it is a great video! Bad habits are hard to break! Good-Luck

I would suggest "Thumb Tip Magic" from Mario Gonzales. He uses a thumb tip painted as the USA flag, and it's totally INVISIBLE!

Salvano`s video tape is the best I`ve seen.
It`s a lecture video and also covers ropes. Just TT and ropes. Wonderful. It`s English, I think from International. Eddie |

I just attended a workshop by Jay Scott Berry and was blown away by his work with the TT (which is well covered in his lecture notes). I've been carrying a TT around ever since, working on the moves and aproach.
He does use his own version of the TT, but the moves are pretty easily adapted to the standard model.

I have to agree with Ronin regarding Jay Scott Berry's work with the TT. He will also blow you away with the sanada, which I started carrying with me at all times now.
