introducing the Berlin Air Wand.
... just some experimenting in the garden.

thx. to Fine, Keiko + Karen, for they've been inspiration and motivation, to Martin H. for picking up my wand-design and turning it into something even more beautiful. something red!
Berlin Air Wand
The Berlin Air Wand is a very carefully balanced Levitation Stick.
Being 75cm long and made of solid aluminium, thus longer and heavier than other products, it has a very smooth, slow and stable flight behaviour.
additionally all burrs, especially those at the hole have been removed to not only reduce the danger of injuring yourself and prolonging the string's life, but also to enable the wand to slide smoothly along the string.
and enabling the player to include a huge variety of new tricks (InString Airwanding) that would otherwise be impossible.
moreover every wand's surface is carefülly polished and eloxated (electrically oxidated), creating a very tough coat of colour that is able to withstand very hard hits.
so far the available colours are: black, natural (silver), new silver, red, green, blue.
hopefully by x-mas 2010 there will also be a golden edition.
as string we're using three-layered black "shimano Technium" fishing line with a diameter of 0,32mm. so far this is the best compromise we found for a string that is strong, smooth and hard to see. haven't tried the "iceline"-fishing line yet, but we will.
as an option the ends of the wand can be outfitted with plastic caps, making the wand's behaviour more stable yet faster.
yet without caps the string is able to pass extremely close to the wand plus: whenever you hit the ground with it, the wand gives away a very nice and loud metallic "PING", I wouldn't wanna part with. ;o)
it's more than just a stick on a string.
it's instant acces to flow.
