This is an effect that I brought out in my “teens” using not only a wand but sometimes using a light weight cane, or a bamboo stick.

Effect

Performer places his wand against his hand to which it adheres in various positions.

While clinging to both hands he rolls hands around each other without losing the wand. It adheres just the same.

How it is done

The method, 13 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
