Thumb tip
A thumb tip is one of the most common magic props - but is it for you?
One item that many magicians find indispensable is the thumb tip. In a nutshell, it is a false thumb that the magician wears over his real thumb - since it’s hollow, it has room for a small ‘payload’ of some sort. What kind of payload? That depends on the magic trick—it can be thread, a ribbon, salt, etc. But is it appropriate for a clown to use?
It depends on the individual clown, of course. Unlike many other clown props, it will take more than a little time and practice to learn to use the thumb tip properly. The performer must be aware of the angles - viewed from the side (or with your thumb sticking out) it looks very odd. However, if the performer is willing to invest the time to practice, it can be a very useful tool.
