Ultimate Magic Wand with Tricks

thingiverse

This is an amateur magician's guide to performing some basic magic tricks with wands. It includes instructions on how to perform the following tricks: 1. **Rising Wand**: A wand rises by itself when pushed down and told off. 2. **Ghost Wand**: The wand moves at its own free will, seemingly without hands. 3. **Wand through a Note**: A wand is pushed through a note and ripped off with no harm to the note. 4. **Final Finnish Sparkles**: Waving a wand produces a shower of golden sparkles. 5. **Kids Floating Wand**: A wand appears to be floating in mid-air. 6. **Kids Appear**: A small cloth appears from nowhere. The guide assumes that the magician has two wands, a glass bottle with a small neck, and a shirt with a button tied to a thread. It also requires some basic materials such as elastic, fishing line, and tinsel (or sparkles/glitter). Here are the instructions for each trick: **Trick 1: Rising Wand** * Hold the wand in your right hand, with the elastic end between your index and middle finger facing back of hand. * Place the wand in the palm of your hand, holding it with your thumb. * Press down on top of the wand with your left hand and hold it in place with your right thumb. * Loosen your right thumb, and the wand should rise. * Repeat this process several times, telling the wand off each time. **Trick 2: Ghost Wand** * Wear a shirt with a button tied to a thread (knot at the end). * Slip the knot into the elastic end of the wand. * Place the wand in a glass bottle with a small neck. * Move your body back and forth slowly, and the wand should rise and fall without touching it. **Trick 3: Wand through a Note** * Hold one end of the wand in one hand, hiding the missing end. * Hold the short end of the wand in the other hand, hidden. * Pick up a note and say you're going to push your wand through it. * Push the wand from the heel of your hand on one side of the note. * Line up the other end of the wand and they should join magnetically (Wand-Paper-Wand). * Show it off, then rip the wand sideways (the note should be gone with no rip and the wand still connected). **Trick 4: Final Finnish Sparkles** * Open the container end of Wand 2. * Fill the end with tinsel (don't pack it hard!). * Close the end. * Wave the wand in the air, gently swinging it in circles. The sparkles should come out automatically. **Trick 5: Kids Floating Wand** * Take out the fishing line from the star wand. * Watch as the audience's faces see your true wonder that 'your' apprentice is as amazing!! **Trick 6: Kids Appear** * Show the wand from all angles. * Take out a cloth from the star wand. The guide ends with a humorous note, suggesting that the magician throw a copper to the author (the creator of the guide) in gratitude for providing the instructions.
