This wand produces real flame at its tip. It is not a toy. For responsible adult use only.

Bring a little wizarding theatre to life! Choose from five distinctive Incendio wand designs, each producing a brief, bright flash of real flame at the tip. Rechargeable and presented in a black and gold gift box. Adults only, 18+

Say “Incendio!” for the theatrical flourish—but it’s science that makes the magic happen!

Choose your wand

Five distinctive designs, each with its own character:

A Beginner’s Guide to Wand Motions – Science2Life

• One Incendio Wand in your chosen design
• Flash paper, supplied slightly damp
• USB charging cable
• Small screwdriver
• Gold Platform 9¾ ticket
• Beginner’s guide to wand motions
• Presentation box

The wand-motion sheet adds a little wizarding inspiration. Practise movements with the wand switched off and unloaded. Keep it steady when producing a flame.

Before the magic: prepare your wand

1. Charge your wand

Before first use, charge your wand using the supplied USB charging cable. Keep it switched off and unloaded while charging.

The indicator on the charging cable turns green when the wand is fully charged. Disconnect the cable before preparing the wand for use.

2. Allow the flash paper to dry completely

Flash paper is supplied slightly damp for safety. The portion you intend to use must be fully dry for the wand to work properly.

Allow it to air-dry at room temperature in a secure place away from heat, sparks, naked flames, children and pets. Prepare only the amount needed for your session.

To speed up the process you could use a hairdryer on low heat mode.

3. Cut neatly rather than tear

Scissors produce a consistently sized piece with tidy edges, making folding and positioning more repeatable.

The heating element sits at the bottom of the small cup-shaped recess at the wand’s tip. Correct positioning allows heat to transfer from the element to the paper and start ignition.

Do not  press tools against the delicate heating element.

4. Folding the flash paper

Fold the strip in half, then fold it in half again. Roll the folded paper tightly into a small roll that fits inside the heating cup at the wand’s tip.

Keep the wand switched off and the tip cool while loading. The roll should fit without being forced into the cup. Take care not to press against or damage the heating element.

5. Prepare the performance area

Check the space before any flame effect. Keep people, animals, hair, clothing, decorations and other combustible materials clear.

Use only in a location suitable for flame effects, with appropriate fire precautions and any necessary venue permission. Keep spare flash paper separate from the performance area and away from heat, sparks and flames.

6. Activation — a little theatrical magic!

With your performance area clear, point the wand away from yourself, other people, animals and flammable materials. Switch the wand ON and keep it steady.

Press the activation button. The flash paper may ignite immediately, or it may take a couple of seconds as the heating element warms up. Keep the tip directed into the clear space throughout.

Release the button as soon as the paper ignites, then switch the wand OFF. Allow the tip to cool before reloading.

If it does not ignite, release the button and switch off. Allow the tip to cool before checking the paper or charging the unloaded wand.

Say “Incendio!” for the theatrical flourish—it’s science that makes the magic happen!

Where’s the science?

From electrical energy to a fiery flash

The rechargeable battery supplies electrical energy to the heating element. As current passes through it, the element heats up.

Heat transferred to the flash paper starts a rapid chemical reaction, releasing energy as heat and light.

What is flash paper?

Flash paper is made from nitrocellulose—a chemically treated cellulose material that burns rapidly, producing gases and very little solid residue.

The battery provides the energy to start ignition; the flash paper provides the chemical energy released in the flame.

Why does the effect vary?

The amount, dryness and arrangement of the flash paper affect how it ignites and burns. These factors help explain why one flash may look different from another.

A quick flash does not mean a cool flame: even a brief flame can cause burns or ignite nearby materials.

Real fire deserves real care

• Adult use only. Keep the wand and flash paper out of children’s reach.
• Never point the wand towards yourself, another person or an animal.
• Do not use it for duelling.
• Keep the wand steady during activation; do not wave it while producing a flame.
• Keep it switched off during loading and whenever it is not in use.
• Never look into the nozzle or touch the heating element.
• Allow the tip to cool before reloading or putting the wand away.
• Keep stored flash paper away from heat, sparks, flames and the performance area.
• If ignition fails the wand may need to be recharged and/or the flash paper has become slightly damp.
