Take care. Working with these objects and effects is inherently dangerous; anyone who attempts them does so at their own risk. Anybody under 18 is advised to undertake them only with a parent's permission and supervision.
This is a novel opening experiment, or can be used for a comedy touch during a program, if desired.
Effect
Performer shows a small wand not much larger than a match. He says that this is too small for his purpose so causes it to enlarge to a wand about five inches long and a half inch in thickness.
This then increases in size to a foot in length and an inch thick.
This large wand has enough “power” to aid in the mystery that is to be performed.
How it is done
The method, 7 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
