I'm the same way that you are, long slender fingers, which was a HUGE advantage to me in slight of hand.

You know what I ended up doing? Buying one the CHEAPEST versions that I could find and using a lighter on the end of it to melt the plastic some and stretch and shape the tip. Just don't put the heat source too close to the tip or you'll blacken it. Did the job just fine!

All of the guys thought I spent a fortune on a custom molded prop.
