The Swami Gimmick: A Mentalist’s Essential Tool

The “Swami Gimmick,” also known as the “Nail Writer,” “Thumb Writer,” “Ghost Writer,” or “Medium’s Secret Device,” is hailed as one of the most valuable tools in the realm of mentalism. Its effectiveness hinges on the secrecy of its use—when no one suspects the mentalist is employing this device, it becomes a powerful ally.

Despite its notoriety, many performers shy away from using the Swami regularly, and even fewer have mastered its potential. When executed correctly, even those familiar with the concept of a nail writer will remain oblivious to its presence during a performance.
