Hi
I'm trying to find a set of Supreme magic company's "Fantastic thimbles." I have found a booklet with some routines on them but I haven't beel able to find the thimbles. The Fantastic Thimbles were a set thimbles where two of the thimbles fit inside the other two. Jonas Karlsson Vibono Magic Sweden

Jonas: I acquired a set at a magic auction a while back. They allow you to do some pretty nice and simple color changes and routines. I have not seen them since. I would recommend just keeping your eyes out at conventions and auctions or also try magicauction.com or ebay as well.

Jonas, The “nesting thimbles” are being made by several sources. Check out:
Automatic Thimbles by HotTrix. Plastic thimbles set in glow-in-the-dark white or rainbow. These are nesting thimbles. A video is also available. $15. Find them at: http://www.hottrix.com/ Electrofun Magic Nested Thimble Pairs (India): Two nested thimble pairs (4 thimbles total). Comes with routines. http://www.electrofunmagic.com/ Royal Magic Nimble Thimbles by Duke Stern and Ken Decourcy. Set of 7 nesting pairs of smooth plastic thimbles, known as "Werry" thimbles. Set comes with 4 pairs of white and three pairs of blue, yellow, and red thimbles. Includes an excellent 20pg booklet with a reprint of Duke Stern's Latest Thimble Magic and additional material specifically for nesting thimbles by Ken Decourcy. $15 http://www.funinc.com/ (click for image: http://magicref.tripod.com/images/magic/thimblenimble.jpg) And of course there is good old Vernet: Vernet Thimbles. Set of 8 pairs of smooth plastic nesting thimbles. Comes with 4 pairs of white, and 4 pairs in blue, yellow, red, and green thimbles. Similar to Nimble Thimbles. Nice routine booklet. Also available in 8 thimble silver set. $15. http://www.vernetmagic.com/, click for image: http://magicref.tripod.com/images/magic/thimblevernet.jpg There are other resources but these should give you a good start.

Jeff Sheridan has a great manipulation act with these types of thimbles. He uses the Vernet ones.

I use the Vernet set and they work very well for me. I have used them for the last two years, no problems.

I'm really liking the routine, but it's nowhere near ready to show yet... sometimes the thimbles won't come out and other times the out one flies off!
