VI. CONCEALMENT OF THIMBLES

There are so many suitable hiding places on the person that it is rarely necessary to resort to tables or chairs. For example, a thimble can be placed between the buttons of the vest, under the vest, in the vest pockets, in the cuff of the trousers, in the collar of the coat, in the shirt collar, etc. In all cases the thimble must be placed with the opening outwards, ready for the insertion of the fingertip.

The only accessory required is a holder for four thimbles. This generally takes the form of a piece of metal with a flange, against which the tops of the thimbles rest, with a piece of broad elastic round it to hold the thimbles in place (Fig. 13). They can be obtained at any magic store. Even these holders can be dispensed with by having loops of elastic to hold the thimbles securely, yet allowing for easy removal, under the vest or lapels, or at the tops of the vest pockets.
