Although I had high hopes for an alternative to the break-apart wand, I was very disappointed with this product. It uses commercially available vinyl caps and tubing. There is poor quality control in the construction of the tubing. I bought two of these at the same time. The black tubing in one of them was much thinner than in the other, and didn't work at all! The better of the two was very sporadic in its reliability--not the kind of prop I want in my shows! You might luck out and get one that works consistently, but from my experience--it is likely you will not. Save your money!

(Who am I? I am a full-time pro--a veteran of thousands of shows throughout the US and Canada.)

So simple ... so funny... I get better laughs with this than I do with my break away wand! If you used comedy wands in your show and you perform for kids... you need this prop!
