The magic hat and wand are two iconic symbols often associated with the world of magic. These props have been used in countless performances and are synonymous with the abilities of a magician. The magic hat is a traditional accessory worn by magicians during their acts. It is typically tall and cylindrical in shape, often made of a black or dark-colored fabric. The hat is used as a vessel for various magical tricks. For example, a magician may pull an object out of the hat that seemingly appeared out of thin air.
Still, so long as he remains more or less functioning, homeopaths can reasonably hope, now that it has been announced that Charles will succeed his mother as head of the Commonwealth, that he will be as determined to promote quackery among the other 52 nations as he has been within the UK. If NHS doctors are still – as it was confirmed last week – offering treatment described by the chief medical officer as “rubbish”, by the head of the NHS as “at best a placebo and a misuse of scarce NHS funds”; and by NHS Choices as not “consistent with long-accepted principles on the way the physical world works”, then the credit for this achievement should surely go, almost if not quite entirely, to the Prince of Wales.
Although where some compounds are concerned, a noted stickler for evidence, the leader of the opposition is minded to exempt homeopathy for which royal partiality remains, perhaps uniquely in the NHS, a critical evidence base. It would be wrong, after all, to overlook the contribution of some prominent MPs to preserving the memory of water theory from the constant threat from evidence-based medicine.
For example, a magician may pull an object out of the hat that seemingly appeared out of thin air. This trick is often referred to as the "hat trick" and is a staple in many magic shows. The magic wand is another integral prop in the world of magic.

Is there any proof that homeopathic medicine works?
J Burgess, Norwich
- It is possible to answer correctly both yes and no to this question. From a scientific point of view, no it doesn't work, from the believers' point of view, yes it does. This contradiction can easily be explained: Homoepathic medicines are made by diluting to a very high degree, substances which could have an effect in higher concentrations on the workings of the body. The dilution is such that it is practically impossible to find in these medicines one single molecule of the so-called, active ingredient. In other words it's only there on the label. Those who advocate homeopathic medicine argue that the substance doesn't need to be there, it has left its "influence" on the water or other harmless materials in the medicine. This is of course utter nonsense, it is not possible for a chemical or element to leave an imprint, some kind of force on air or water not containing it. If this were so, then the air we breath and the water we drink are themselves homeopathic medicines; no need to bother with the little pills, just breathe! Now, if we are talking of medicines, it is usual, nay a legal requirement, to test them thoroughly before they are marketed. One of the final tests, is the so-called double blind trial. Controlled groups of patients or human guinea pigs are given either the medicine itself or a placebo. In a double blind trial, neither the person administering the medicine nor the patient knows if it is a placebo or truly the medicine. By this means, those running the experiment can best assess whether or not a medicine has an effect. It is claimed by the advocates of homeopathic medicines that double blind trials have been carried out and shown to have worked. These claims must be taken with a great deal of scepticism, the conventional medical establishment is of the opinion that any such trials were conducted incorrectly. However, it has also been shown by conventional medical experimentation that the placebo effect is a very important one in bringing about cures. If people believe that they will get better, they often do so on their own resources. In other words, it can be shown that the visit to the doctor is a more important part of the cure than the pills afterwards. The placebo effect is by no means a rare or insignificant one, quite the contrary in fact. Thus we can be relatively sure that the believers in homeopathy, much of the time, will be able to justify their own argument by their belief. In other words it will work for them. But it is also quite clear that it will not always work. Not too long ago, a hospital came under severe criticism following the death of a young girl who developed diabetes. The parents took her to the hospital, but it was not made clear to them that she needed urgent and immediate treatment. The parents, advocates of natural medicines, undecided what to do, gave her homeopathic treatment whilst they thought about it. Shortly afterwards, their daughter went into a coma from which she never recovered. A classic example of where belief is not enough.

1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really excited to try the Magix hat and wand, but I have to say I was quite disappointed. The hat didn't fit well on my head and felt flimsy. The wand didn't work as smoothly as I had hoped and kept getting stuck. Overall, it just didn't live up to my expectations and ended up being a waste of money.
2. John - 1/5 - This product was a total letdown. The hat didn't come close to fitting on my head, and the wand felt cheaply made. But the worst part was that it didn't work properly. No matter how many times I tried, the wand failed to perform any magic tricks. I would not recommend this to anyone.
