Almost any magician who uses a wand and some comedy bits is familiar with a breakaway wand. Certain plastic breakaway wands will develop unsightly chipped edges. Even though these chips are small, they stress the plastic and turn those edges into a color that is significantly more white than the desired black. The result of this wear are visible rings on the wand.
There is however, a very easy and effective touch-up. Grab a black permanent marker and run the tip across all of the chipped edges on your wand and then… Alakazam! Your wand has been returned to a near-new looking status.
