How to Make a Magic Wand Cling to a Hand

Making a magic wand cling to a hand is a rather simple task. It is an extremely effective trick that spectators love to watch. With the proper tools and the right amount of practice, making a magic wand cling to a hand can be done in no time.

Things to have on hand:

• Magic wands


• Hammer


• File


• Three small black pins


• Ruler

1.  Buy two black wands with white tips.

2.  Use one wand during the show and the other wand for the trick. This way the audience will see the wand that does not have the pins in place for the illusion.

3.  Prepare the second wand by measuring between your third and second fingers.

4.  Hammer the black pins into the wand close to the center at a slightly larger distance than the distance you measured between your fingers.

5.  Hammer them in on a slight angle.

6.  Place your second and third fingers between the pins and separate them a tiny bit, so that you can easily slide your fingers between the pins. This enables you to lift the wand from the table while keeping your fingers stretched straight out.

7.  Remove the heads of the pins and file them down to three eighths of an inch.

8.  Replace the pins.

9.  Practice the trick several times.

10.  Adjust the pins as needed.

11.  Place a third pin at one end of the wand close to the white edge.

12.  Hammer it into the wand so that only three eighths of an inch is sticking out of the wand.

13.  Leave the tip in place.

14.  Place the pinhead under your fingernail. This allows the wand to hang from your finger.

15.  Insert additional pins if needed.
