I don't know if this is the correct title (Finn Jon Thumb & Finger Penetration), but does anyone know which DVD it is on or if it is available as a separate effect?

Electrical tape is used to bind your thumb and 1st 2 fingers together. From there it looks like a typical thumb tie effect.
Thanks,

Believe it was covered in his booklet put out by Brookie many years ago,,,name escapes me, slim volume A4 size, covered thread work and coin manips mostly, must have been around the time Finn was working the Raymond Revue Bar in Soho.

Ken.

Ken is right, I have the booklet so I'll check it out and give you the title. If my memory serves me right, the routine used a TT.

Thanks guys.

Sounds like that may have been the inspiration behind chainbreaker (loasnder)

OK. Found the book. It's entitled "Magic of Finn Jon" and was published 1984 by Georges Proust of Paris. Finn calls the routine "The New Thumb Tie" and it's on page 35.

I was mistaken about the TT. None is used in this routine, but the tape used is "masking" tape (as used when painting window frames) and not electrical/insulation tape.

Nice book. Not sure if it's still in print.

Thanks Riley. I'll see if I can hunt one down. That thumb tie looks interesting. AND you can practice it without needing someone to tie your thumbs together!
