Metal Appearing Canes Magic Wands for Professional Magician Stage Close-up Magic Trick Magic Accessories

Reading the reviews of how they cut their hands on this and that they're bleeding or it punctured their hand are total BS. The most this can do is give you a paper cut like injury (which has not happened to me).That being said, it's important to understand how to properly open and close without injury:To open: push the metal nob until the spring is released on the other side. Once it is, briefly let go of the item to allow for it to extend on its own. You don't need to throw it in the air, but just a quick release will allow no injuries.To close: put the item standing on the ground with the tip part (that you pressed to open it) on top. Push down with your palm. With your other hand, twist the body of the wand until it goes down. Occasionally the item becomes too tightly wound and it won't go anymore. The best solution is to pick up the item but keeping it wound and then push the items together against a cord edge so it forces them together. (You can use your hands to force it down, but the edge of a table or siding work too).Now this isn't going to be best protection against anyone. It's hollow and flimsy. Don't antagonize anyone with it. They can just as easily find a stick, rock or belt and beat you up. Other than that, it's fun to play with and surprise people with.

This seller is from China. I did not realize this until after receiving the shipping information with the tracking number. I ordered two canes that I needed for a production. I tried the trick with one of the canes. The cane is very heavy. Both the top and bottom of the cane broke on first attempt to open and close it. The cane would not close into its original position and had jagged edges at its base. Before attempting to try the trick on the second cane, I requested that the "detailed HD video tutorial" to be sent to me. However, I was unable to view it in the format sent. Now, I am left with a damaged cane for which I got a full refund and an unopened cane that I am no longer needing because I ordered better made plastic canes from a different company. Plastic is better than metal when it comes to this type of canes.

My son saw this type of magic trick toy on a dude perfect video. He bought it and loved it. And played with it all day. But after about a week it got to be harder to close up. If it’s played with all day long, it probably won’t last long if owned by an 8 year old. But he really liked it while he had it. Also some times it shot our fast and hit all of us unexpectedly. So be careful where it is aiming.

I see quite a few low reviews that mostly seem to be from folks who were not aware of what they were purchasing, the actual process of how it works and is made. It is probably heavier than plastic appearing canes, so know that is an option. Some folks thought it opened and would not close ever again. False... it requires a twisting motion at the thicker base, and this technique is easily found on YouTube. Which brings me to the instructions. Four stars as the manufacturer and Amazon could stress more strongly that this prop can be dangerous. Folks are surprised it shot out of their hand fifteen feet, but that is the force required for an instant appearance of the cane. That said, it could hurt someone if it hits them, particularly the face, teeth, and eyes, so be careful. And yes, the edges could cut a person and it looks like it has. That said my came with an easy to scan link to a very detailed and informative video showing proper use, how to close it, how to fix it if it becomes unaligned. Use with caution, common sense, and it probably isn't the best choice of a magic prop for children.

I bought this in the hopes that I could use it for martial arts performance, and based on the last couple days I'm fairly certain I can. The cane is definitely stronger than I thought it would be, and if you give it a twist to tighten it up after it unfurls then it holds its shape very well. I tried to see how sturdy I could make it by twisting it tighter, and if you shorten up the length to about 2/3 and twist it tight enough it's actually about as sturdy as a thin steel pipe and could easily hurt someone. At full extension it can definitely uncoil if you swing it too violently, but for a basic and flashy martial arts demonstration it should hold up fairly well.This thing is essentially one long steel spring, so be extremely careful when opening it not to aim the pointed end at anyone (especially yourself!) or anything you don't want wrecked. It springs open VERY fast and can go shooting out of your hand if you're not careful, and that solid metal knob on the end will go right through the drywall in your house or apartment. I've found it easier to press the knob and then quickly throw the coiled rod up horizontally so that it opens in midair and has nothing to 'spring' off of.Like the others reviewers said, it's difficult to figure out how to close at first, and you need to play around with it a bit to get a feel for it. If you twist it from both ends to loosen the coil as you apply pressure then it's much easier to close, and subsequent attempts are easier as you learn how to loosen and tighten the rod's coils. Gloves help, as the thin steel can irritate your hands.One small complaint I do have is that the gold coating on both ends wears off pretty easily, but for the price I'm not going to hold that against it. Overall this was definitely a good purchase. I may even get a second one as a backup or to share with my martial arts classmates.

I bought this originally to shock my kids and had planned on giving it to them to play with. But after I opened it for the first time I realized the huge issue, and a secondary more annoying one. There is not a good way to close this thing for starters. You can get it closed but it takes a few minutes or more depending on how fast it was allowed to extend. Secondly, it is made of thin metal, that has sharp edges. This thing gave me a bunch of cuts on my hands and I had to tell me kids that they couldn't play with it because I don't want them to cut themselves.All in all this item was disappointing and a safety hazard. I threw mine away and would not recommend this item to anyone.

Decently sturdy for how light it is and works fine with practice.Only complaint is the springlock that stops the staff from extending when not in use is pretty cheap and makes me worry it will go off on its own.Don't let children play with it as it springs open with considerable force and can hurt pretty bad.Not bad for the price I guess.

It wasn't opened outside first. I recommend open it outside for the first time.

Ni muy bueno, ni muy malo...simplemente bueno. Es de cuidado al abrir el bastón, es de cuidado.
