This magic wand is a good value, with a fun whooshing sound and very bright blue light on the tip. It's made of hard, relatively heavy plastic, and feels pretty sturdy. It comes with batteries, which is helpful, since it takes they button-type. Basically, exactly what I was looking for, with sound as an added bonus. What would make a magic wand five stars? Maybe if it's made of wood, or used regular batteries, or had some interesting decoration.
