magic wands
Spell-casting implements
Magic wands are slender rods wielded by magicians, witches, and wizards to channel supernatural power.
In stage magic, they're props for misdirection and theatrical flourish.
In fantasy, they're instruments of spell-casting: Harry Potter got his first magic wand at eleven.
Figuratively, a magic wand is any imagined quick fix: There's no magic wand for the economy.
