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 wand was designed for comedy effects, a few of which are described, but your imagination will suggest many more.
Effect
Performer holds wand up against a spectator and apparently pushes it into his body.
An end of the wand is placed in a boy's mouth and he apparently swallows the wand.
Placed up against a boy's head, performer says he wants to see if boy's head is solid or not.
The wand apparently is pushed back and forth in the boy's head, etc.
How it is done
The method, 2 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
