The Fun-Fly-Stick wand uses no air, strings, or magnets.

FunFlyStick is a portable, encapsulated Van de Graaff generator that begins separating electrons and protons at a press of a button. A positive static charge gets accumulated on the cardboard control tube. The special precut shapes (flying toys or flyers) are able to receive the static charge off the wand on contact. The charge gets distributed along the entire surface of the flyer and due to the repulsion of the like charges the flyer expands within itself. The parts of the shape repel each other creating visual impression of the instantly expanding shape. The flyer also repels from the wand, so by moving the wand below the flyer, you can keep it floating in the air. Touching the floating flyer with a hand causes instant static discharge and the flyer collapses into a pile of tinsel. Touching it again with the wand will bring the flyer “into life” as if by magic. When the flyers are in the air they can be controlled by the charged wand and stirred from side to side.Various “magic” tricks that can be performed with the Fun-Fly-Stick and the flying shapes are described in the brochure included with the wand.
