Finney's $100 thumb tip

Great article ( Dustin) on Michael Finney in the Feb issue.
Reading about how someone had charged him $100 for a thumbtip, took my memories back about 30 years, when I spent 3 weeks on the QE2, a now retired luxury liner. On board performing was a BIG NAME UK magician. Sometimes he would walk of to his cabin with passengers, and after gaining his trust ( and making me promise that it would be a secret, hence no naming here) ) I was allowed to go along. True as God, he would show ( passengers) what's possible with a thumbtip, and flog them one for $25 a tip!
