Well... Seems I have trouble with this... I have to wonder if a 'real' pom pom pole has the same troubles... If I relax my arm in a certain way the top pom poms fall off and drag the lower ones up, and it looks really sloppy...
What, on a manufactured pompom pole keeps the top pompoms sliding off and messing things up? |

Nothing. I've had the same thing happen sometimes.
Keep playing with it and get used to the prop so you know it better.... and can control it. All the best, Chris |

Was this supposed to be connected to a thread? What is being discussed in unclear.

Your pom pom is to large, make it a little smaller and it will set on top of the stick or pole.

Sew fishing weights into the bottom pom poms. I haven't had a problem since I did that 18 years ago!

Throw away the Pom Pom poles and go to http://www.stevensmagic.com and buy the Plumber's Sticks version. Masculine and funny.

What kind of string do you use for making a good PomPom pole?

Braided nylon is the best string. It can be found in a furniture fabric shop. It is used to make filler for the piping around pillows and such.

Thanks Wmhegbli!
I have tried a kind of braided string with core inside, but it did not work smoothly. Regards, Budi Ha Ha |

I never liked the Pom Pom trick but these actually look kinda fun.

Try using the string used for Diablo Sticks. It's a little on the "thin" side for Pom Pom Poles, but I have used it successfully and it doesn't bunch up when you store it.

I've never had this problem, but perhaps a "fluffier" pom-pon allows it to "seat" on the stick.
The plumbers stick never made sense to me, seems kinda stupid, IMO. |

I kinda think it's brilliant, IMO and makes perfect sense.

I know I'm coming in late on this... But the pompom trick is sometimes not very magical and quite lame?
I liked the brightly colored and high visibility aspect of it... Any similar "pretty" tricks that play well to a larger crowd?

When I began combining the Pom-Pom Pole with my Pom-Pom Critters (The Wizards' Journal #13) it made a lot more sense. The Pom-Poms have a life of their own, you see, and like to hang by their tails from the pole. At the end, they jump off the pole and scurry around, ending with a big production of lots of Pom-Pom Critters of all sizes and colors.
