Welcome to your new flow-wand! Check out the resources below to get started on your journey into the wonderful world of wandcraft :) 



Understanding how the flow-wand works:

 

The first thing to know about your flow-wand is that there is a top and a bottom - the end with the flowtoys.com sticker is the bottom. 


Knowing which way is up is important when you need to reset your wand upright.

  1. Roll the rubber band up and release the finger loop and string. 
  2. Hold the wand upright with your non-dominant hand. 
  3. Place the middle finger of your dominant hand (with your palm facing down) through the finger loop. You can hide the little o-ring on the inside of your hand so it isn’t visible.
  4. Let the wand hang and shift the string until the finger loop is snug.
  5. You are ready to start flowing and dancing with your wand.


A note on string material:

  • The black string is chosen for its strength and durability - invisible magician's thread is too weak and will break with active use. 
  • We tried using white, silver, and grey string and fishing line, and surprisingly they are more visible than black as they catch and reflect light. 
  • The wand is not designed specifically for magic, but rather for movement. The magic is in your movement :)
