The Project Inspired by the well-known classic Magic Bamboo, we created a new version of this coordination challenge that finally meets any professional trainer’s demands. Whereas the original 7-foot long bamboo version was difficult to transport (and one of the reasons why trainers drove estate cars), our four-part aluminium Magic Stick makes a handy piece of luggage, popular even with airlines: “Oh, you’re going camping! But where’s the rest of your tent?” Due to its variable length, it easily adapts to group sizes from 6 up to 22 delegates. Definitely a must-have for your next workshop! |

| How It’s Done The
participants form two lines, facing each other. The trainer places the
Magic Stick on their extended index fingers, gently but not overtly
pushing it downwards. The group’s task is to lower the stick to the
ground. The only rule to observe is to never lose contact between their
fingers and the stick. But, at the count of three, as the trainer
releases her/his hold, the stick begins moving up instead of down, as
if full of helium! The reason: In trying to maintain contact with this
extremely lightweight stick (thanks to a special aluminium alloy, it
weighs only 200 grams at 4 metres length), each delegate pushes upwards
just ever so slightly. All others follow this motion, effectively
raising the stick instead of lowering it. Detailed planning,
concentration, self-organization and leadership are the keys to
mastering this task.
