This is fascinating information! Thanks for sharing the characteristics also. I made my drumstick a little flatter on a belt sander after reading this! It really does add an advantage to the flip stick.

Thanks so much. I make mine from drumsticks too. I've decided from here on out I'm going to do the same thing with the wands I make.

Great review and recomendation Jimmy! Makoto's wands are indeed for those with a Champaign budget! However, if you get one that speaks to you (is aesthetically pleasing to your eye and just feels right in your hand), and will last a good five years of constant work, then it really isn't that costly over time. The biggest problem I foresee is someone "borrowing" it without your permission and never returning it.

Yep "borrowing" does seem to be a problem in the magic world. It is definitely a bittersweet thing with these wands, they are so great that you're worried you're going to lose it and they are too pricey to buy another one as back up.
