2. FROM THE THUMB GRIP TO THE REAR PINCH

The thimble being in the thumb grip, first bend the fingers in and insert the tip of the middle finger in it; lift the fingers, carrying away the thimble, and press the top joints of the first and third fingers against its sides. As the fingers open, withdraw the tip of the middle finger, press it upwards on the inner part of the mouth of the thimble, and bring the finger to the front.

Straighten out all the fingers and the thimble will be in the rear pinch.

To transfer the thimble from the rear pinch to the thumb grip, the action is reversed. Bend the fingers inwards, insert the tip of the middle finger in the thimble, and press it into the thumb crotch in the usual manner. These two moves are very useful for showing the back and front of the hand empty while still holding the thimble.
