Never having own a magician's wand before this one, I must say that I was very surprised at the
weight of this wand. It was not what I expected. To say that it is "built to last" is an
understatement. This piece of equipment is beautifully crafted and I was surprised at how perfectly
balanced it was. I found that performing spins and wand flourishes were quite easy. Let's be honest,
nothing is a greater motivation than the desire to not break nearby objects or feet. Like working
with proper contact juggling balls, the only way to learn properly is to use the real thing and
force yourself to take risks.
The wand itself unscrews easily and packs away nicely. Aside
from some unwanted tarnishing on the brass tips (easily removed with brasso or some similar metal
cleaning product), the dark rose colored woods is beautifully finished and the overall construction
is flawless.
If you want to look like a professional, you have to use professional looking
things - If you perform cups & balls and use a wand in your routine, this is the wand for you.
Be warned: It is heavy and will require some decent practice.
