I saw that there is a banner ad for this item at the Café so I thought I would give a brief review.
Creative Magic makes this item I got one about 2 month ago and used it at a daycare show. This thing is hilarious. It is a total of 7 wands, each one bigger than the next. Your helper just keeps getting a bigger and bigger wand for bigger and bigger magic. The seventh one is over SEVEN feet tall. The 4 and 5 year olds waving that big wand around is just precious and a great photo op. The wands are made of a soft materials and won't hurt anyone or anything. After the shows (I did 4 classrroms) the buzz wasn't about the tricks but about the BIG wand (ok so I'm not sure how I feel about that yet ). Creative magic has again come up with a way to make something really big pack down to something really small and really light. I won't bring these to every birthday party as I think it is a much funnnier bit if the kids don't see the wands first but at the daycare where I could just have them outside the classroom door it was perfect. I will find a place in my stage show for these as well. |

MikeDes, do these wands come with an effect or are they just seven cloth covered sponge wands that are different in size? Can these be produced in a production box or do you just pick them out from the duffle bag?

Thanks for the kind words Mike.
Lou to answer your question Bigger Wands does not come with a "trick" it comes with a basic routine where you can turn any simple trick like ballon to bunny, a dove pan, change bag, you name it into a full 5 min routine that the kids will never forget. but you can do a lot of other fun things with them as well. As for producing them there are a lot of options on the video you can see that Brian Scott pulls them out of his Victory Cubes. when I use it I have them coverd with a cloth at the the back of the perfomance area or in a stage show just off stage.

Also, these are not made out of sponge but foam. You can't compress these and put them into a production box. The bigger wands break inot sections for easy transport but you have to put them together before the show.

That’s true thanks for clarifying that Mike, I got stuck on "producing" in the context of fetching them not so much magically producing. The closest thing to doing something magical I have seen them used for was one magician told me he was exchanging them inside of his Victory Cubes as if the same wand was growing. But what the were designed for was to stretch out a not so exciting trick and make it funny, exciting, and memorable.
As I said above you can add your own flavor and do a lot of fun different things with these, heck you can just use them as stage decorations but I am sure we will have an idea section on the site down the line that will cover more about that. The main thing to know like Mike mentioned is they are foam wands with cloth coverings that pack into a small duffle for traveling. The 2 largest wands break apart to fit in the duffle. But most importantly you will most likely want to use Bigger wands as a prop in conjunction with a simple magic trick you already have because they don’t do anything magical. I hope that helps clarify.
