A few people have been commenting on the great music I put behind the compilation film and asking who it is. It’s actually a group called The Nextmen. And the track is called ‘Amongst the madness’ from the album ‘Moving amongst the madness’. Their website is here. And it’s not hard to find some of their stuff on an online music store. Trust me, these guys know how to use their own fingerskilz on vinyl.

This is a little film I did with one of my work mates a couple of weeks ago. I put a snippet of it in my edited highlights film. Sorry about the weird lighting in the office boardroom. It’s just as horrible when you’re having a meeting in it, I can assure you!

I can’t believe the interest in fingerskilz! The site has been mentioned on hundreds of blogs and forums. And it even made it into Italy’s most popular newspaper a few days ago. And some dude has even stolen the film, put his own URL on it and posted it up on video sharing sites! Cheeky swine!

But there’s more films to come. There’s plenty more life left in these fingers, baby!

Part of my new regime. Fingerballers have to warm up too, you know.

Ooops! I think I overdid it a bit yesterday. I woke up this morning and my hand was aching! Think I’ll need to start doing warm up exercises like real players!

Aaaaagh!

I always loved the way Mr Le Tissier handled the ball. I’d pray for a foul just so that he’d have a chance to take a penalty. If he’d been misfortunate enough to just be born as a hand, this is how I think he’d have played ;-)

I’m a bit taken aback. I’ve had so many hits over the last few days that I nearly broke the server! So apologies to anyone who found the site a bit slow. I think I’ve sorted it all out now.

And while I’m here I’d just like to say hello, guten tag, bonjour, bienvenue, salaam, buenos dias, namasté, shalom and sawatdi to all my foreign visitors.

I’m working on some more moves right now. Please come back soon to see my latest tricks. Or, even better, click on the RSS button on the right hand column to subscribe to the blog.

Had a bit of free time last night, so I edited together some of my best moves. Hope you like it.

A few people have asked me how I did the boots. Looks like they’re trying to become fingerballers as well. So I’m not alone here! Anyway, here’s how I made the boots. I've done it with clear tape so that you can see a bit more clearly.



Get yourself some paper clips.

Bend them into 'L' shapes and tear 3 or 4 inches of sticky tape.

Tape them to the ends of your fingers

Here's a better look at how they sit at the back of your fingers.

Wind a little bit of tape around the paper clips to form the boots.

And voila! One finger footballer ready to do keepie uppies.
