Product: The SBL
Delrin Magicians Wand
Maker: RNT2
Price: No Longer
Available
Overview: 5/5
Review
Price:
Unfortunately the SBL Delrin Magicians Wand is no longer
available. They do (very occasionally) appear on eBay or The Magic Cafe
though...
What's
Included?:
The Delrin Wand. I believe that RNT2 originally planned on
producing a range of tips as they are threaded and therefore
removable.
Delivery Time /
Packaging:
This wand was bought from The Magic Cafe, it arrived very well
packed and a stiffened envelope smothered in bubble wrap! It took approx 2 weeks from
USA.
Construction /
Durability:
The SBL Delrin Wand is very well made indeed. Measuring 1/2"
in diameter and 13 1/4" in length. The Delrin material itself is very durable and solid and the wand is
constructed with removable tips although they have something like a 1/4 thread on them which should hold up
nicely.
It's beautifully finished, straight as a die and has a faint
embossed pattern along its length which actually helps with the grip. I have to confess to
dropping it a couple of times and so far it is still perfect.
There is no noticeable step
between the tips and the centre (one of my pet hates!)
Suitability:
This wand was developed with one purpose in mind and that was to
allow you to strike your precious cups with a wand which wouldn't damage
them.
Jake from RNT2 states on their website that he struck cups ranging
from sterling silver to nickel and chrome over 300 times and no damage
occurred.
While I have not counted exactly how many times I have struck
cups with this wand I can contest that I have used it safely on sterling silver, copper and chrome finished
cups.
Overall:
In summing up I rate this wand and it comes highly
recommended. If you want a traditional looking wand with a good weight that spins well and most
certainly wont harm your cups then this is your answer. Many people plum for wooden wands when wanting
to save cup damage but this is a very worthy contender.
While it may not be readily available it is certainly worth
tracking down...
