by Lois Wickstrom The Mysterious History of Invisible Magic Wands A magic wand focuses a magician’s power. While magic wands can be very useful, they have their drawbacks. If people see you carrying a magic wand, they often stop you and ask, “Are you a magician? Will you do some magic, right now?” This can be embarrassing and bothersome. So, Merlin invented the Invisible Magic Wand. And he passed the skill on to his apprentices, who continue to make them in their secret Celtic caves. They have covered the entrance to their caves with invisible curtains so they will not be disturbed in their work. How Invisible is an Invisible Magic Wand? Not only is this magic wand invisible, you don’t even have to carry it with you. You can summon it whenever you need it, so it won’t take up room in your pocket or purse. Just name your invisible magic wand. Don’t name it right away. Hold your invisible magic wand in your hands and get to know it for a few days – the right name will occur to you. Then think the words Atratya and the name of your wand . One invisible magic wand will last you forever. It is impossible to lose it. No matter where it is, it will come when you call. You can even use it to summon items that are really missing, like keys. What Can Your Invisible Magic Wand Do? Magic wands make things appear or disappear. They restore things or situations, help with an escape, make things float, and do many other things that would be normally be impossible. A favorite use is concentrating time. If you use your Invisible Magic Wand to concentrate time, you can finish tasks you don’t want to do (like your homework, or washing the dishes) and still have time to do the things you enjoy. How to Unpack Your Invisible Magic Wand First, you must unpack your wand from this envelope. Your wand has been compressed to fit into this envelope. Reach all the way to the bottom of the envelope, pull it out, and stretch it to your desired length. It will retain that shape. You can put it on your dresser where it will get light from your window, or you can put it in your sock drawer. Invisible Magic Wands remain invisible in light or dark. What Can’t Your Invisible Magic Wand Do? Your Invisible Magic Wand cannot make your parents, teachers or siblings disappear. It cannot make a bad report card disappear, (but if you use the time concentration mentioned above to do your homework, you won’t get bad report cards.) Your Invisible Magic Wand cannot be used to do anything to somebody else that you would not want done to you. It cannot be used to do anything you would feel guilty about later. Your Invisible Magic Wand can read your mind and you will not be able to fool it. How to Use Your Invisible Magic Wand When you are ready to use your Invisible Magic Wand, any grip a conductor would use to hold a baton to conduct the orchestra will be secure enough for your Invisible Magic Wand. Working magic is much like conducting mystical music. Just as an orchestra requires many musicians, working magic often requires cooperation of many factors. Your Invisible Magic Wand will bring you the help you need. Remember to treat your wand like a friend and it will be ready to serve you whenever you wish.
