""In each stick there is a powerful magic substance, Mr. Potter — the old man explained, taking the measurements. It can be unicorn hair, a feather from a tail of a phoenix or the dried-up heart of a dragon. Each stick of Ollivander is individual, two similar are not as there are no two absolutely similar unicorns, dragons or phoenixes. And of course, you will never achieve good results if uses others stick."" (""Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"" by Rowling Joan Cathleen)

Instruction
1. Magic properties of trees are as follows: the beech gives knowledge and strength, connects knowledge of the past and the future, increases concentration; the pine gives a peace of mind and wisdom; the maple softens negative energy, aggression, gives rest; the oak increases forces; the holly gives courage, protects from powers of darkness; Eben (ebony) multiplies force, energy of the owner; the ash-tree has protective properties, protects the owner from troubles and negative energy; the birch cures; the filbert symbolizes justice; the elm will begin to help only the strong in spirit man, does not stand women and weak men.
2. Let's choose a tree which magic properties most of all are pleasant to us. Now it is necessary to find a suitable stick. It is possible to use only those sticks which lie under a tree on the earth, live branches it is not necessary to break: and the tree is a pity, and they will not be suitable for work. We look for an equal stick about 30 centimeters long.
3. By means of a hacksaw (fret saw) we will level the ends of a stick. By means of an emery paper we will grind the ends and all surface of a stick.
4. Using the screw gun we will drill an opening since one end of a stick.
5. As dragons, birds a phoenix and unicorns are not found in our latitudes, power substance will be executed from a piece of wood pitch of red color which will replace heart of a dragon, a bird's plumelet (for example, a feather of a pigeon or a parrot), as substitute of a feather of a phoenix, several threads of white color instead of unicorn hair. What difference - to children all the same will be pleasant. We will place the chosen power substance in the made opening and we will caulk up the self-hardening weight for a molding, the sawdust mixed with glue or weight for a papier-mache. Let's wait until dries out.
6. By means of a thin brush we will apply, if desired, on a surface of a magic wand secret signs or ancient spells. When paint dries up, we will varnish a surface. Alokhomoro!
