I'm searching out information on toppits, how they work, how they are made and worn, and handlings for its use.

Thanks for reading.

Cheers

So what have you studied so far?

You might want to get a copy of The Topit Book Hardcover by Michael Ammar (Author), Richard Kaufman. I also understand that there is a 2.0 available. There is also a ton of information on the Topit here on the Café use the Café Quicksearch box at the top of the page.

There are severl DVDs and downloads on the sites of various sellers.

Thanks Manreb, I'm off to pick up Ammar's book.

bdekolta, I have just begun work on ditching, as up to now I've been focussing on SOH and gaff work only. One thing about this addiction, there is always more to learn!

You might also want to take a look at Jay Scott Berrys recent Penguin Live Seminar. He covers both design and use of a toppit in great detail. He begins his show with a very nice coin routine which includes an extremely clean production using another clever device. Highly recommended lecture.

Jay Scott Berry's Topit, especially if you add the Michael Ammar's side pocket connection, is the best way to go... by far IMHO

Thanks Steen and Lawrence. Once I have gone through Mr. Ammar's book, I'll have a look at Scott Berry's stuff.

Cheers

I might add that you may arrange with JSB to have his tailor sew a toppit into your jacket. That way you are sure to get it right. I am waiting for an installation at the moment and will give you a review when I receive it.

Topit video by Ammar is where I started.
