It's almost Halloween and I'm a lot of people are dressing up as witches and wizards, their costumes replete with the symbolic wand. Unfortunately, the most we can do is wave the wood around like it's but a large toothpick. Not anymore. No, the Van de Graaf generator isn't only good for giving you an induced bad hair day; apparently, it could also make you a bit more convincing in your costume.

Making science look more akin to magic, this wand has a built-in Van de Graaff generator. You just push a button to activate it and when it builds up static charge, it can control 3D mylar shapes in mid-air. Yep, like magic. Aside from being able to levitate mylar shapes, the Fly Stick Van de Graaff Wand could also contort these shapes and change their form. Of course, the more science-adept might guess at first glance, but I bet it's good enough to entertain kids, toy lovers and inebriated friends. Now available in ThinkGeek.
