LUMOS wizard wand craft

[fabledstar]

is it okay to twist the wires together if i don't have the wire melting tool?

[yoyomax12]

@fabledstar I would twist them and then tape them to make sure they stay together

[AyoooBrandon]

but it was still good

[AyoooBrandon]

i want to know how to make a malfoy wand

[SmileySusan999]

I wanna make a wand that does Avada Kedavra....

[katiemini674]

ur so creative

max is so lucky to have u for a mom:)

[katiemini674]

that is so cool!

i didnt know u could make it light up

[Shakespeare1612]

I am using a very similar idea with my wand, but I have used Processing to create a magic beam special effects and sound in real time. Please check it out.

[avrilrocks55]

Thanks!

I'm going to need help with that wiring...graah, cant wire...

[Sinedicion13]

Excelent! greetings from Ancud-Chile.

[TheSuperNeonPigeon]

Lumos Lumos LUMOS!

[forthewinlbp]

this reminds me of kipkay

[yoyomax12]

@forthewinlbp Don't know what a kipkay is, but I found this idea on Dadacando(dot)com

[forthewinlbp]

@yoyomax12 kipkay is a guy on youtbe that makes how to videos with leds and bateries and stuff

[Angus1397]

@yoyomax12 lol KipKay is a Science Channel on youtube

[mbson]

@yoyomax12 Kipkay is an YouTuber who often does electrical crafts.

[aqwspacefanatic]

i cant make that but i have created an arc reactor from iron man that has a small light :)

[yoyomax12]

@aqwspacefanatic Cool! Thanks for watching

[SanMaster99]

do you want to make a wand that makes Avada Kedavra

[yoyomax12]

@SanMaster99 sometimes ;)

[sonicneo1]

@SanMaster99 if some mone does that i would take it and use it on jb

[MrJonny8246]

thats cool

[LittleHieuy]

Will it work for smaller batteries / can i buy one with a smaller battery?

[yoyomax12]

@LittleHieuy I think you can use any battery that will light up your led light

[toxicgas226]

nice

!

[yoyomax12]

@toxicgas226 thanks!

[MrPersonperson22]

hey can you answer this can you make led light without solder

[yoyomax12]

@MrPersonperson22 Don't know if the connections will stay solid with tape on the wire connections, I think solder is best

[zoozoolovesmusic]

Kinda hard

[yoyomax12]

@zoozoolovesmusic Yes, this isn't a real easy one, true

[sourlinks]

Genious

[yoyomax12]

@sourlinks Thank-you! :)

[minimichelle1]

Dear Yoyomax12

On the 3rd of August of the year 2009, we received word that you have revealed magic to muggles on something called the "Youtube." You have also created wands without a proper license of wandlor. We will send an administrator from the Ministry to break your wands and erase your memory. Hoping you are well.

Cornelius Fudge

Ministry of Magic

[yoyomax12]

@minimichelle1 Too bad this hadn't arrived by owl!

This was the most creative and fun comment I think I've ever received! Thanks!

[minimichelle1]

@yoyomax12 HMM thats odd.... i think someone shot the owl D; ....... well.. anyways No Problem...

[Rswipeable]

Very Nice Prop, and very easy to make! Good Job!!!

[yoyomax12]

@Rswipeable Thank-you!

[xZyBexHD]

He is Ollivander jr. he just have to show us the muggle way

[yoyomax12]

@xZyBexHD :) !!

[mrtheplo]

thank you



[yoyomax12]

@mrtheplo You are welcome :)

[nemesvok42]

That would be funny, cutting a picture of Voldemort in the end of the video where u tried the wand :D

[yoyomax12]

@nemesvok42 lol right!

[ThegTCgaNg2131]

nice craft mine has button that no one can see!!haha!!!:) anyway all the hp crafts are fantastic!!!

[yoyomax12]

@ThegTCgaNg2131 thanks for watching!

[sparrowcrazy]

HAha at first I wondered why the kid was saying "no mouse, no mouse".. silly meXD

[yoyomax12]

@sparrowcrazy lol

[FRiiZL3]

wew smart kid XD

[yoyomax12]

@FRiiZL3 Thank-you!

[yoyomax12]

@EdwardHere100 Excellent!

[M4nkie]

Pretty good but I bet you can't do one which can do the Avada Kedavra spell? >:D

[yoyomax12]

@M4nkie Goodness, that might come in handy sometimes wouldn't it? (insert evil laugh)

[JoeAndTeddy]

@yoyomax12 for avada kedavra just use a green LED.

or....just become a death eater, like me ;)

[legenddarbo999]

@M4nkie I can, put a working gun barrel inside it! :D

[MrSmilyCat]

@M4nkie have a green light

[Minerraria]

@M4nkie yea next she will put a gun in one

[kanjiofmoonclan]

you should make the end screw on so that you can change the batteries

please make more crafts

[yoyomax12]

@kanjiofmoonclan I"m hoping to do some more crafts this week while I'm on holidays. Not being able to change batteries on this is a draw back for sure

[kanjiofmoonclan]

could you use electric tape instead of soldering the wires together

[yoyomax12]

@kanjiofmoonclan yes, but it may not hold

[Anaprince]

Changing the batteries must suck though lol

[yoyomax12]

@Anaprince yep!

[Xeocoful]

THAT IS INSANE!! I'm having a Harry Potter party for the premiere of the DH Part 2 and we're going to do this craft!!

[yoyomax12]

@Xeocoful Hope it turned out for you

[TheSlytherinPride]

hehe: lumos. lumos. LUMOS!!!

[yoyomax12]

@TheSlytherinPride You can tell he wasn't thrilled to be making this part of the video for me! lol

[TheSlytherinPride]

@yoyomax12 eeeeppp you replyed.. thanks. and i know, hahaha lumos..

[yoyomax12]

@KitKatKally You are welcome! Thanks for watching

[genelin1995]

That's what I love about creativity, the product is completely made by you, therefore you have this connection with it, which is especially important for a wand.

[yoyomax12]

@genelin1995 Very well said! Thank-you.

[dabubbsta1]

The beginning xDD

[yoyomax12]

@dabubbsta1 :)

[imaCigamnam]

its called lumoatis

[yoyomax12]

@imaCigamnam ok

[BubblyMorning]

and thanks for this video, your wand looks really amazing!!

[yoyomax12]

@BubblyMorning You are welcome! Thanks for watching.

[BubblyMorning]

do i have to solder the wires together?

[yoyomax12]

@BubblyMorning If you can find a way to keep the wires together without soldering it will be fine

[xXAnimeFunXx]

Is there any simpiler way? Thanks for making this! 

[yoyomax12]

@xXAnimeFunXx this is the only method I found

[kolidakis1]

can you tell me what exactly you used?

[Freegadgets101]

You're Canadian, aren't you? :)

[yoyomax12]

@Freegadgets101 yep

[kratos3111]

@yoyomax12 Canadian people make the best crap out of....crap? Na kidding good vid tho!

[nramage21]

i just made one but i added a switch to mine.

thanks -.-

[yoyomax12]

@nramage21 Great idea! Thanks

[shalasus]

@nramage21 that is an awesome idea but if I don't have an lighting keychain can I use any light like the invisible ink pen light or lighting pen's light? if so it will really help me.

[shalasus]

that is an awesome idea but if I don't have an lighting keychain can I use any light like the invisible ink pen light or lighting pen's light? if so it will really help me.

[nramage21]

@shalasus you can use any led she was just saying that you can get a battery if you buy a cheap key chain light. I hope this helps if not leave another comment.

p.s. this project is really easy as long as you have some way to welled the wires.

[andi65498]

legal

[yoyomax12]

@andi65498 ??

[SweetBayCharms]

THIS IS LEGIT !! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

[yoyomax12]

@SweetBayCharms You are welcome! Thanks for watching

[HARRYPOTTERFAN1XD]

damnit dude, you obviously have a true gift :D

[yoyomax12]

@HARRYPOTTERFAN1XD Thanks very much!

[98nabil]

LUMOS U MEAN "LUMOS MAXIMA"

[yoyomax12]

@98nabil True!

[skullkid2733]

now that is cool

[yoyomax12]

@skullkid2733 Thanks!

[JBearWWE]

i used a purple light instead its cool but not as good as the white

[yoyomax12]

@JBearWWE Purple would be interesting.

[adnanchaz12]

that was really clever how do you get these super ideas from their really good and realistic

[yoyomax12]

@adnanchaz12 Thanks, it is really amazing what you can do with paper.

[ayllasousa]

awesomeeeeeee, really smart! <3

hahaha its funny the way the kid said 'lumos' hahaha "lumos.. lumos.. lumos!" lol

[yoyomax12]

@ayllasousa I made him say it, so he wasn't too enthusiastic, lol.

[ajcambern]

You are awesome, this is smart, do-able and too cool for words!!

[yoyomax12]

@ajcambern Thanks for the very kind comment :)

[HarryJamesPotter80]

Lol, at the start of the video he said Lumos Lumos!

[yoyomax12]

@HarryJamesPotter80 He was less than thrilled to do this for me, lol.

[HarryJamesPotter80]

@yoyomax12 Lol, you should do more videos like this.

[MegaElementos]

very nice, very nice indeed! good job thx for posting this vid

[yoyomax12]

@MegaElementos Thanks!

[natulis3]

it could also work for stubify

[yoyomax12]

@natulis3 You could pretend it was doing most spells! :)

[95coulthard]

I have to give you credit, you are very skilled. I have a few collector wands but i dont wana break them so these helps alot.

[yoyomax12]

@95coulthard thanks!

[reed31419]

i have a question. how did you keep the middle sturdy cause i did not see in the video that you put anything in the center part of the wand?

[yoyomax12]

@reed31419 I didn't put anything in the middle of this one, in my other wands I use wooden dowel or skewer.

[justinrusso22]

where can I buy this light and the wires?

[yoyomax12]

@justinrusso22 The wires can be found at a store that sells electronics and/or electrical supplies

[19Jonata97]

Where can I find to buy this flashlight?

[yoyomax12]

@19Jonata97 I bought the flashlight at our local discount dollar store

[suupitstracyy]

is it okay if you just wrap the wires around one another instead of melting them together?

[yoyomax12]

@suupitstracyy You could try doing that and taping them together with electrical tape.

[suupitstracyy]

@yoyomax12 It worked! Thank you!

[yoyomax12]

@suupitstracyy Glad you let me know that it worked! Now I can tell other people that they can do this when they ask

[starscreamer93]

thank you! :)

[yoyomax12]

@starscreamer93 You're welcome!

[starscreamer93]

this is awesome! :) this really helps, you explained it with detail..now for my attempt!

[yoyomax12]

@starscreamer93 This was a tough one to do in a short video. I hope there is enough information there for you to give it a try. They also do this wand on the instructables website, maybe if there isn't something clear here, you could check there as well.

[Memakevids]

i made this and my friends think i bought it

[yoyomax12]

@Memakevids Great! Sounds like you did a really good job

[mexicanfood100]

whoa awesome

[yoyomax12]

@mexicanfood100 Glad you liked it.

[xpiratesforeverx]

Love it!

"Lumos!"

[yoyomax12]

@xpiratesforeverx Thanks!

[potterpride26]

This is from instructables...

[yoyomax12]

@potterpride26 As I mention in the description box I found this idea on a website called Dadcando. It is certainly possible it is to be found elsewhere as well.

[Thetrashmaster43]

thatss hoott

[yoyomax12]

@Thetrashmaster43 Thanks!

[Thetrashmaster43]

@yoyomax12 i mean that real qood! you qot me jealus there! lol. You can probably go into a business selling them you knoe, i would buy one ;)

[yoyomax12]

@Thetrashmaster43 You are very kind, thank you.

[alohachristine]

Do you really have to sauder ? the wire. Can I just twist it and electrical tape it. thank you again.

[yoyomax12]

@alohachristine To get a solid contact soldering is best but twisting and taping may work.

[hejmeddig713]

how to change batterys?

[yoyomax12]

@hejmeddig713 You can't.

[slamminskygurl]

@MebeBrand3n lol, why not make one yourself? it's much more fun that way. :D

[yoyomax12]

@MebeBrand3n thanks! only made one and my son is attached to it, sorry :)

[yoyomax12]

@MebeBrand3n I am a Mom and I did make this one for my son, he is at the beginning of the video!

[phatema123]

i wish i had the materials to make this. i certainly have the time to.. =[

[yoyomax12]

@phatema123 The materials aren't the kind you find laying around the house for this project. Maybe you will be able to do this some day.

[hangman2122]

@neaped I can watch the HP movies but i cant make this T_T

[yoyomax12]

@hangman2122 I love the HP movies.

[hangman2122]

I want to watch all HP movies and i cant do this cause im 9

[yoyomax12]

@WIBRUCE Thanks! I've certainly learned the right way to pronouce this. :)

[TheMcdog2]

i person is either 1. A blind person was stupid went online and missed the like button 2. 1 person is psycho and decided to start mashing buttons on the computer ended up on this page and press the dislike button 3.1 person is just a dumb person and goes around and hits dislike on every single awesome vid...

[yoyomax12]

@TheMcdog2 You are very sweet! Thanks :)

[TheDannyboy214]

isnt it lumos maxima

[the1nonlymrhappyness]

@TheDannyboy214 thats for the one that made the entire area light up, lumos was the one that just made his wand a flashlight

[yoyomax12]

@the1nonlymrhappyness Thanks for answering that question!

I love Potter fans.

[LoveIsOnItsWay17]

cool

[yoyomax12]

@LoveIsOnItsWay17 Thanks!

[011thejazz]

very good

what obout elektcrick tape? would it work?

[yoyomax12]

@011thejazz Do you mean instead of the soldering? Maybe.

[KayukoClan]

I will make my mom make one for me XD Thanks

[yoyomax12]

@KayukoClan Hope you help her with it, lol!

[HarryJamesPotter80]

@KayukoClan Be nice!

[HarryJamesPotter80]

@KayukoClan Be nice!, You will ask her, not make her. Have some respect, Dude.

[yoyomax12]

@PokeManiac297 Thanks!

[DarkPoetOfRivendell]

OwO This is great, you could do one with a green LED so it looks like you're casting the Avada Kedavra curse. xD

[yoyomax12]

@DarkPoetOfRivendell Excellent idea! thanks

[yoyomax12]

@DrliamJ Give it a try with two wires and move it around to see how solid the contact is. If you think it is going to hold, then I think it will probably work.

If you try it let me know! I may get someone else asking the same thing and I'll be able to tell them the answer. :)

[meryanlol]

i made one with a red led and it looks like the expellearmus spell please send me a link to where i can post the picture. i didnt paint it yet but i will paint it like harry's.

[yoyomax12]

@meryanlol Use an online program like "one true media" and make a video slide show showing the photos of your wand. Upload this video to your channel and post it as a video response to this video, I will approve it.

I would love to see it.

[yoyomax12]

@DrliamJ The only way you are going to get a good solid contact between the wires it to solder them. It would be difficult to make sure the wires stay in contact with the glue (glue would get between the wires).
