5.0 out of 5 stars A WOW!, September 26, 2008

This review is from: Funflystick Magic Levitation Wand (Toy)

This should be a Harry Potter tie-in product. Just phenomenal...
Wingardium Leviosa!... and seemingly heavy metallic shapes fly up and float. The shapes are, in fact, very light.
I bought Fun Fly Stick for my kids but after trying it myself and then watching them roughly handling "my precious", I decided to buy them something else to ruin and keep the Fly Stick as my office toy. Do not judge me! When you buy the toy you will understand it.
It helps me focus on my thoughts and my work while floating shapes. I do not know why it works this way, may be the movement of the flyer in a wave manner in front of my eyes, may be the whirring sound, but the wand does it. Magic Wand and no less.

Everyone at my office finds it fascinating and... calming.

A few words of caution:
The flyers or floaters are super-very-fragilistick. Be ready for expenses on spare floaters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not really for little kids... but..., July 5, 2009

... my husband sure likes it!! He saw it somewhere on the internet & told me about it, so that's what he got for fathers day.

Our kids (6 & 5yrs old) have tried it... but usually end up getting the "object" stuck on the wall pretty quickly. They like making paper stick to the wall with the FunFly Stick!!

It doesn't work AS well when it's raining outside or damp.

The "objects" that you can float around are made of super-thin plastic... and they can store flat inside the directions pamphlet (which is where I'd recommend you keep them)!

It's a decent buy... but I don't think this would be a good toy to buy anyone under 8yrs old for sure- maybe 10yrs old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nifty for fun and learning, December 30, 2009

This is a great toy to learn about science. I can see that kids will enjoy it for an hour or two but then the fun wears off as it rather hard for a young child to master. It is probable best in the hands of a teacher or home schooling parent. A number of scientific experiments can be done beside flying the shapes. As the flying objects are very fragile but easily made from a Walmart bag or other similar material I do find it well worth the price.
