These gimmicks are the most powerful tools a magician or mentalist can use. It's really very difficult to believe that with such a little and inexpensive gimmick, you can produce the quality and the quantity of effects that look like real miracles.

You can write letters, numbers, check marks, etc.surreptitiously, in front of the audience, giving the impression that it was written well before the event or effect. It gives you limitless possibilities.

These quality Vernet Writers are available in four different styles (sold separately):

  • Thumb Tip Type- 4 mm. grease marker
  • Thumb Tip Type- 2 mm. pencil lead
  • Boon Type- 4 mm. grease marker
  • Boon Type- 2 mm. pencil lead

These writers are refillable and include a pin to help extract the lead and Instructions.

thumb tip version Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 5th, 2013
I was hesitant on purchasing the tt writer after reading the other reviews. One said it was made for big thumbs. Probably so if you're a kid with undeveloped thumbs. I have small thumbs and it fits like it was made for my thumb. One says the lead is too far down. That scared me too. I find it to be in just the right place for secret writing! I purchased the under nail writer first and couldnt get it to stay under my nail while writing. So im very pleased with the vernet thumb tip version.

Vernet Writer TT Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 29th, 2011
Very useful item, for performing some strong magic. But it could be better! TT is very short, so short it is sometimes hard to keep on. It came with a pin to help remove and replace the lead, but it did not come with any extra lead. I took the inside gimmick and installed it into a regular size TT and it worked much better for me.

This is definitely not for those with small to medium size hand (thumb). This is made to fit big thumbs .. Wish they come in different sizes

Worth it Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 5th, 2013
The price: I checked around, and online, this seemed to be one of the best prices. Because I was ordering something else, I bundled them.

Quality: Good, as expected. The out-of-the-box size may be an issue, but I can fix it.

Usefulness: Unlimited. If you're foraying into mentalism, this is an invaluable, necessary tool, responsible for innumerable quality effects/performances.

Thumb Tip Type (Pencil Lead 2mm)- Vernet. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 14th, 2015
Pencil lead very light. It is hard to see if you are performing parlor or stage. Close up is OK. I purchased a grease writer and I am extremely pleased.

I had this item over 20 years ago...works the same now, as it did then...bad. the lead isn't big enough to write properly.
Takes yrs of practice. How about the Ox Peralman effect on A.G.T....that item should be for sale!

Vernet Thumb Tip Writer Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 5th, 2015
I am a professional Mentalist and Swami effects are part of every show. After trying all the alternatives, I prefer Vernet's Thumb Tip Style. Easy to put on, easy to ditch. It always fits, it always works, I never have to fuss with my nail, its invisible. What is not to like? I always have several around. One of the best, simplest and most powerful tools available.

This is the TT you're looking for Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 12th, 2014
Listen, it is what it is. Either you know you want it or you don't. Every effect you've ever read that calls for pocket writing, or a nail writer, this is what you want. Sometimes a device comes along that is small, affordable and allows you to do the impossible - and this is it.

Essentail Piece for a Mentalist Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 22nd, 2012
Really it even legitamitly looks like a thumb. More invisible than a full thumb tip. Anyone with an interest in mind reading and mentalism will tell you that this piece is absolutly essential. I do like the thumb tip style because its hidden in plain sight and the lead or grease is replacable. If you don’t have one of these Im sure anyone would agree when I say, “Just buy one.” They arent expensive and you will not regret it.
