I am going to purchase the D'lite system... But I am a tad concerned about wether or not the effect will actually fit. Can anyone help me. Are the tips hard or soft plastic..Are they a one-size fits all kind "o" thing...I have a thumbtip that barely fits so I want to know if it's worth it before I purchase them.
Seems to me that death is just natures way of telling us to SLOW DOWN!

Try doing a search in the Good, Bad, and Garbage section, you may find some of the answers there. I just purchased one and I know that they come in kids and adult sizes, but I'm not sure about DIFFERENT adult sizes.
Most magic shops will let you try it on before you purchase it, if there's one in your neck of the woods. Good luck! |

Hi,
Yes they do come in different sizes...kids or adult size. Like Chad, I'm not sure if the adult sizes are different as they are in TT's.( I wear kid size ones myself) You only get one in a box. Two are the best, but that's my opinion. Chad suggested if there was a magic shop in your area to try them on,good suggestion. If that is not possible then I would purchase one pair only and you'd be able to see how to make your own. (Buy the d'lite first however to give royalities to the creator.) There are many post on the Café regarding d'lites, may be worth checking out. |

Pity your not in the UK as there is a wholesale joke supplier that sell a box of 12 "Flashing Fingers" for £15 they are a good size and soften up as you use them,they also come in 2 skin shades, which works great for us Brits,this way if we ever get a suntan they will still match

Ones I've gotten are soft plastic. And can be used to add to any routine besides just pulling pretty lights out of the air, ear, mouth, etc. I use mine for my "Pollination" routine where I twist up a balloon flower, Pollinate it, and pull a large silk load from the bulb of the flower.

They are available in in both soft and hard. The soft ones are a more recent addition. I recommend the soft ones.

They are soft plastic. I have huge hands and the adult size fits me fine. I know what you mean about tt's. They feel like they are too small and hanging ten feet out. D'lite is one of my most talked about and asked about tricks that I perform. Keep your hands moving to stay in the clear.

I have the soft kind and I love them. They fit easier on me that hard tips.

The new ones have an improvement. A plastic disk covers the "wire" eliminating the classic stuck on problem or bent wire that doesn't work.

You could always make your own.
all you need is a L.E.D. I believe. You can get the little light and battery at Radio Shack. You'll need to play around a bit to fit it into the TT, but it can be done, obviously. Use silcone to attach it on the inside. A saudering gun will allow you to affix the light and battery together. Make sure you bend the light wire up so it can be pressed down on the battery to light up and when released, it will go back up. over and out, j. |

I would suggest getting them from the original creator of the effect Juan Mayoral. His are VERY well made are are far brighter IMHO then the Rocco ones. Some have accused Rocco of stealing the idea from Juan after seeing him perform at a convention. However, I do not know the full story and Juan was too much of gentlemen to spread tell me whether then rumours were true when I asked him in person.
He also has an amazing range of products that include a blendo bag that you 'put' the lights into then turn into an cloth covered in lights like a starscape, a string of lights you can pull from your mouth like razor blades and some blue and gold oens which are GREAT! |

Gday Nicholas,
I want to ask you if you have a link or a way to contact Juan Mayoral? I saw a friend on the weekend do a D'Lite routine ending with a string of red lights from his mouth. It got a super good reaction and looked very nice. He told me it was very expensive. Thanks, JoJo

Making your own D'Lite as Johnpert suggests would just about cost the same. D'Lites are getting real cheap now. Hasbro or someone is supposed to be cutting a deal on them with the inventor, so use them while you can. They will be in kids magic sets before you can blink a...
I love the Blendo bag. It's a nice finish and it gets a great reaction. If you own one and want to know a modification I wired for reliability, let me know.
