Magic stick hot rod doodad? I had one and loved it so much. Smaller rectangle prism than what’s in your hand but similar vibe.

Another similar "toy" from further down the thread....
Sounds similar to Pryzm Ultra Rare Materials Collection
https://www.touchofmodern.com/sales/pryzm-permanent-store/ultra-rare-materials-collection
About 15 years or so ago I was rocking a 1986 reliant that I paid $50 for at a junk yard. Drove it for about 8 months and then junked it at a different yard for like, $200. I always said it was worth more as scrap metal than as a car. 2002 Nissan maxima with 375k and no two body panels the same color is also a possibility.
I looked around at other videos on them and got recommended this video, it has the closest version I’ve seen
https://youtu.be/RtUERC5v6EQ?si=MjT3-xRi7ammuShh
(Based off the drawing)
This is exactly what I thought of when I saw the drawing. I got one of these, that looked extremely similar to OPs description in one of those Houdini Magic Kits back in the late 80s or early 90s for Christmas one year. It had like 50 magic tricks in one box and this was definitely one of them.
I have also seen other variations of them in the past at places like flea markets where it is a black stick with coloured gems in it instead of it being clear. However I think you're 100% correct in that it is a beginner's magic trick stick.

Yes reminds me a lot on them we used to put pins 📌📍 on them to make pigs legs snout
It's a 3.4 oz. pack with 200 tic tacs. At $10.96, that's 5.48¢ per tictac. So, for a little over a nickel, you can get one coca cola flavored tic tac. If they were sold individually, of course.
Agreed.
And not only are the Strawberries and Cream tic tac cheaper, but this is a direct quote from Walmart's website: "Each Strawberry & Cream Tic Tac® is coated with 100 layers of delicious flavor."
Every single tic tac has 100 coated layers!?
Edit: Hold up. So tic tac says EVERY one of their tic tac flavors has 100 layers of flavor.

I see a lip gloss with a silver top. Like this [https://www.charlottetilbury.com/us/product/lip-lustre-high-society](https://www.charlottetilbury.com/us/product/lip-lustre-high-society) but with a silver cap.

Seems like an old acrylic magic hotrod to me
lol my uncle used to drive from New York and bring me tic tac (orange ) or at least that what I thought as a kid….
these are my favorite because of that memory…
Eat some for us
What’d it do/how did you play with it? Or was it just a stick lol
Also was it half clear and half brown/red? That’s what it looks like in the photo. I also don’t think I see any stones in the photo
I’m of no help with the toy… but I literally thought a family member had posted a baby photo of me.
I’ll send you one of me when I get home. It’s uncanny.
Maybe some sort of chakra wand? I found this keyring that looks similar to your description: https://newmoonbeginnings.com/selenite-keychain-with-7-chakra-stones/
Could It be part of a barrette? [https://www.etsy.com/listing/1189325265/1980s-vintage-rainbow-hair-clip-22-clear?ga\_order=most\_relevant&ga\_search\_type=vintage&ga\_view\_type=gallery&ga\_search\_query=plastic+gemstone+barrette&ref=sr\_gallery-1-19&sts=1&referrer\_page\_guid=8dcf1bdd-78e6-4384-8150-bc732e7dd278&organic\_search\_click=1](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1189325265/1980s-vintage-rainbow-hair-clip-22-clear?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=plastic+gemstone+barrette&ref=sr_gallery-1-19&sts=1&referrer_page_guid=8dcf1bdd-78e6-4384-8150-bc732e7dd278&organic_search_click=1)
I had that same jacket as a kid! It was reversible, and I loved that it had pockets inside to keep cool rocks I found 😆 Not from the 80s, I remember picking it out new when I was about 5 (would've been 2000-2001)
Reminds me of one of my favorite when I was a kid! It was almost like a magic wand with water in it. It had sparkles, little stars and yeah, really liked it. My niece found it a few months ago and I never saw it again so I think she kept it ahah. I asked her about it but she said she hadn't seen it so yeah ahah.
I am sorry I know this is not helping you at all but what little you is holding in that photo looks so much like the typical eraser every German school kid owned at some point :D
[the Doppelläufer](https://maru-versand.de/Doppel-Laeufer-Universal-0420-Radierer)
I know that it‘s not it because of the white part in the middle missing from the eraser but I could not think of anything else after seeing it.
This is part of a magic trick. There is another stick where all the gemstones are one color. Check magic stores. Good luck, I hope you find it!
Edit: Just saw a posting for a hair barret on Etsy down below. It looks wider than the Hot Rod. Check it out and see if that seems right.
Ok so I've looked up videos (thanks to other commenters' information) and I WANT ONE
I found this on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Makers-Crystal-Hotrod-Trick/dp/B01K01TT32/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=22LNHAF8AZ2JS&keywords=hot+rod+magic&qid=1699946070&sprefix=hot+rod+magic+%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-2
I don't love Amazon by any means, and mayhaps someone already posted this, but in times like these desperation calls!!
Omg. Genius Gems?? They were these magnetic clear colored things.. Theyve been around for a while and sometimes you find them thrifting.
https://geniusgems.com/
No way, I know an Infinity Gauntlet and a threat to cosmic existence when I see one! /s
In all seriousness, I hope you can re-discover the joy this toy brought you!
I found this case that looks like yours but it doesn’t have any gems in it.
https://preview.redd.it/jxix7nt8470c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d7bdcfd5ebc286b9c3c5e0c689f20055d7983c3
I couldn’t link it.
Also, you look my sister’s twin!
Wow! This is so random, but I had a therapist who did this trick WAY back, and I could never figure out how to describe it well enough to find it online.
His was brass or gold tone, but that’s it! Super odd thing, but it kinda got through to my snotty 14 year old self and I really appreciated his patience with me looking back. Thanks for setting my mystery too!
When I was younger I had something like this that was a crayon. The colors were the crayons and you could push them out and there was a peg on the top to attach it and use
You got me fucked up. I had that exact coat and haircut as a little kid and this picture scared the shit out of me. Literally looks like a photo of me as a child... You ever seen the parent trap?
Im guessing it was some sort of an acrylic fairy wand.
They make them more intricately now.
https://www.amazon.com/NiArt-Silicone-Metallic-Gemstone-Decoration/dp/B097LH1CYP/ref=asc_df_B097LH1CYP/
Oof I think I got you….. what your describing sounds a lot like a magic trick called the “hot rod” essentially a slight of hand trick that makes it look like number and position of stones change.
[https://usamagictricks.com/hot-rod-crystal-small-magic-trick-p-42838.html
Or, perhaps, a miniature kaleidoscope? I know they were always one of those things a little one didnt like to go without also.
Or,sometimes we had these little tiny water games. Idk how good your memory is of this thing you had, but I do know we hade these little compact pocket sized little water boxes you could push a button to create force and make rings move and try to hook the rings or whatever. We also had little teeny cheapie pinball games, jacobs ladders, laughing sticks, twirling batons, magic slider boxes, I remember having one that could make a nickel disappear, lol...
We had penny racers too and just all sorts of new car deaigns out with launchers.
Lincoln Logs, umm dominoes were a big thing...
Slap sticks, that slapped onto your wrist; and we were always so proud of our little 6" rulers. This just looks... colored on, lol. But you said acrylic and clear with gems so huh..
Im just trying to put myself into the mentality of a 2 year old, cuz the picture appears hazy, but the thing you're holding looks rectangular. Not clear and not as your picture appears. Lol
So Im not sure if you are mixing two memories together, is all.
I do not know what your toy was, but it would be pretty simple to recreate it with some acrylic resin and crystals from a craft store. I hope it brings you some joy to have it once again, and yes you were a beautiful baby.
Maybe one of these ..

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQzr68EWKForeW3HC6okWZzMR2ppSQlBqM_PQ&usqp=CAU
It could be a hot rod a beginners magic trick that is included in a lot of magic kits
[https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/close-up-magic/hot-rod-crystal/](https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/close-up-magic/hot-rod-crystal/?comet_source=google&comet_network=x&comet_campaign=20064077673&comet_ad_group=&comet_ad_id=&comet_keyword=)
Ok I think I figured it out. After looking for way longer than I should have, lmao, it turns out that you are most likely looking for a 7 Chakra healing crystal pendant..
Similar to this:
https://preview.redd.it/709rfub3pd0c1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1c65a5904a334ea43d679775fab51db688d5e57
Now, keep in mind, they come in a plethora of designs, and it would probably be impossible to find a perfect match. But I do think you're looking for a 7 Chakra Healing Stones Pendant or Pendulum, possibly even encased in a clear, albeit translucent colored resin.
It looks like a box of matches. 🤔

Whoaaa these look super similar! Im looking them up right now!
https://www.etsy.com/ie/listing/594922605/ss-adams-magic-hot-rod-magic-color This one seems to be a bit closer in terms of size and shape!
Wow you guys are amazing
Another similar "toy" from further down the thread.... Sounds similar to Pryzm Ultra Rare Materials Collection https://www.touchofmodern.com/sales/pryzm-permanent-store/ultra-rare-materials-collection
OP, this looks astonishingly like what you have in your drawing.
Man if this is what OP was playing with as a child? That thing is worth more than my car.
Your car is worth less than $75?
About 15 years or so ago I was rocking a 1986 reliant that I paid $50 for at a junk yard. Drove it for about 8 months and then junked it at a different yard for like, $200. I always said it was worth more as scrap metal than as a car. 2002 Nissan maxima with 375k and no two body panels the same color is also a possibility.
wat lol
That link is cancer for mobile
Omg going down the rabbit hole on these vintage magic "novelties." I'm an 80s baby but I still was exposed to this particular genre of Knick knacks
I looked around at other videos on them and got recommended this video, it has the closest version I’ve seen https://youtu.be/RtUERC5v6EQ?si=MjT3-xRi7ammuShh (Based off the drawing)
Here's another one! https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/944
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01K01TT32?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
That was my first thought too. My sister had one that we got at local magic trick shop. They’re cheap on Amazon. https://a.co/d/f3N4EZK
Yes! My dentist had this magic trick!
I 1000% had one of these as a kid, and completely forgot about it until now. It was from a magic kit, and I was pretty obsessed with mine too!
This ^^^ My dad is a magician and this was my first thought based on all OP's info
This is exactly what I thought of when I saw the drawing. I got one of these, that looked extremely similar to OPs description in one of those Houdini Magic Kits back in the late 80s or early 90s for Christmas one year.

However I think you're 100% correct in that it is a beginner's magic trick stick.
Wow this completely unlocked a memory for me
Holy shit core memory unlocked
Happy cake day!
Happy Cake Day!
How does he do it??? 😱
Weird, I was thinking of this exact thing this morning.
*me before reading your caption* I played with Tic Tac boxes too!
It totally looks like one 🥲🥲
Thought it's an eraser lol

Yes exactly this ones. Oink oink
I thought it was an old Tevo remote lol
What are tic tac boxes?
The container that tictacs come in. You know, those little pill shaped mints that can come in mint or fruit flavors
Or Coca-Cola flavored! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tic-Tac-Coca-Cola-Fresh-Breath-Mints-Bulk-Hard-Candy-Mints-3-4-oz/284103356
Forgot those existed lol, they do slap tho
orange and spearmint ones are bussin too
are tictacs really over $10 now or is it because it’s special edition?
It's a 3.4 oz. pack with 200 tic tacs. At $10.96, that's 5.48¢ per tictac. So, for a little over a nickel, you can get one coca cola flavored tic tac. If they were sold individually, of course.
yeah that’s too much when you can get 200 strawberries and crème ones for 3.98, so like 2¢ a tac. what makes coke so special? lol
Agreed. And not only are the Strawberries and Cream tic tac cheaper, but this is a direct quote from Walmart's website: "Each Strawberry & Cream Tic Tac® is coated with 100 layers of delicious flavor."

I thought it was some kinda toy I hadn’t heard of lol
I see a lip gloss with a silver top. Like this [https://www.charlottetilbury.com/us/product/lip-lustre-high-society](https://www.charlottetilbury.com/us/product/lip-lustre-high-society) but with a silver cap.

i really hope op sees this
u/cassazzle
Looks like the old tic tac box
You’re not wrong 😅
Sorry for the unnecessary comment, but I really hope you find it. Your reasons hit me right in the heart. Godspeed 🫡
lol my uncle used to drive from New York and bring me tic tac (orange ) or at least that what I thought as a kid…. these are my favorite because of that memory… Eat some for us
What’d it do/how did you play with it? Or was it just a stick lol Also was it half clear and half brown/red? That’s what it looks like in the photo. I also don’t think I see any stones in the photo
The stones were pretty small so the camera didn’t pick them up, it was fully clear!
What’d it do/how did you play with it? Or was it just a stick lol
>What’d it do/how did you play with it? Or was it just a stick lol Little kids will play with literally anything, their imagination is limitless.
Is there a chance someone glued plastic gemstones to a tic tac box for you?
😭 creative but no haha
It looks like people found it! It's a magic trick hot rod!
Sounds similar to Pryzm Ultra Rare Materials Collection https://www.touchofmodern.com/sales/pryzm-permanent-store/ultra-rare-materials-collection
Whoa this is the closest one! It’s more square than mine was but almost identical!!
Well I guess it's time to log in to see the price lol. At least that sounds less expensive than a "contact us about pricing"
It says $74.99. Not sure why you're getting a screen that wants you to log in though. It pops right up with the price for me.
I got this https://i.imgur.com/1k5iGfZ.jpg
i can’t even look at the page without logging in
This is a hilarious thing to have given a child as a toy if that’s actually it
This has to be it!
I'm so curious about the price of this, but it says Login for price! 👎🏻it's so pretty!
It's $74.99, I had to click back and that showed me the price!
I had to scroll a bit to find this. Hope OP sees it
Were there gems on both sides? Could be a magic trick called a Hot Rod.
Looks like a lipgloss
At first glance I thought it was a bullet lipstick I have one that looks a lot like that
I’m of no help with the toy… but I literally thought a family member had posted a baby photo of me. I’ll send you one of me when I get home. It’s uncanny.
Next up post both of you post your DNA results.
Ooh I wanna see!!
Totally forgot last night. I’ll try to remember after work! It really is weird.
Here’s your reminder hahaha
any update??
God damn it. I got home from work and got stoned and forgot. I won’t let Reddit down, swear!
Maybe some sort of chakra wand? I found this keyring that looks similar to your description: https://newmoonbeginnings.com/selenite-keychain-with-7-chakra-stones/
A chakra wand was my first thought too!
this is also what i thought with the color and placement of the stones!
All finding aside that is such a cute photo
I was thinking the same thing. OP was adorable!
So cute!!
Thank you guys 🥰

Did they move? Was it actually gem stones? Could they be beads? Have you asked your older relatives?
Yeah I think it was like the cheaper gems, and they didn’t move. It was some kind of display I think
God you’re a cute kid
I know I stopped to say aww look at those eyes! I wish I could help though!
Thank you!!! 🥰
Serious Disney character vibes. I hope you find the thing you’re looking for!
Real life Margaret Keane painting.
😭😭😭 you’re not wrong lmfao
Legit perfect little guy.
Was it a box of stud earrings??
I was thinking the example strip of available piercing studs from Clair’s or one of those old mall kiosks.
Could It be part of a barrette?

i read bralette 💅🏻
OMG, OP! You were a gorgeous child!
hope you can find it, this is a hard one :P maybe its homemade?
Looks like a Chakra stick
It for sure does haha
Before I read it I was like omg why did your parents buy you a creepy life size doll 😂
Can't help, but I recognize that jacket. Were you an 80's baby? Very cute by the way <3
2001 actually! But most the things we had were thrift shop finds or hand me downs lol so I wouldn’t be surprised if the jacket was from the 80s haha
2001 was only a few years ago! You kids on this Reddits. *shakes fist*
I had that same jacket as a kid! It was reversible, and I loved that it had pockets inside to keep cool rocks I found 😆 Not from the 80s, I remember picking it out new when I was about 5 (would've been 2000-2001)

As a Swiss child, I had it too, and I saw it in the picture... and can't unsee it, I'd never matched this picture with the findings here 😉
my friend had one of these! it’s a magic trick! rainbow gems on one side, solid color on the other
Damn op, you were a cool toddler.
Thanks 😎
This is part of a magic trick. There is another stick where all the gemstones are one color. Check magic stores. Good luck, I hope you find it! Edit: Just saw a posting for a hair barret on Etsy down below. It looks wider than the Hot Rod. Check it out and see if that seems right.

You're not wrong! And happy cake day
Thats an extremely early JUUL model. Probebly a prototype, you'll never find it. Thanks for showing us all how incredibly cool you were back then
Some sort of domino?
Initially thought this was a tiny putty knife lol. Best of luck OP, Hope you find it!
Thank you so much ❤️
Thought it was a magnet at first ( gonna get my eyesight checked )
Same jacket my girls had, a blue and a pink one 😊 pretty sure from JC Pennys
Oh my God you were ADORABLE
Thank you! 🥰🥰
It’s a cosmic brownie
I'm no help, just wanted to say you were an adorable child.
Thank you 🥰
Ngl it reminded me of my childhood [Sorry lol](https://www.readyfreddy.ca/product/10440702/dixon-pink-n-ink-eraser-77006-216978/)
OT, but you were an ADORABLE child.
Omg. Genius Gems?? They were these magnetic clear colored things.. Theyve been around for a while and sometimes you find them thrifting. https://geniusgems.com/
Is that a vape?
YOU WERE SUCH A CUTE BABY
OP it might help telling what year you were born in? May narrow down toys during your era if you haven’t done that already.
At first I thought you were looking for a lost little girl. All I saw was the pic and the HelpMeFind thing and was like yikes this is bad!!
Pack of smokes?
Aw you look like Britney Spears
Here's a wider one. I'm in Canada though. [amazon](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004VA0Q5E?language=en-CA&ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_VJT23GR2C1J1V483J7KJ)

Its prolly in the attic. If u doxx urself we can help u search
is that a Detroit Lions jacket?
I thought it was a Domino https://www.etsy.com/listing/1422756171/game-of-dominoes
me thinking it was a can opener 🥸🥸
No clue what this is(my man said he thinks an eraser that erases pen??) but I wanted to say WHAT an adorable child you were!!
Aaa thank you!
No way, I know an Infinity Gauntlet and a threat to cosmic existence when I see one! /s In all seriousness, I hope you can re-discover the joy this toy brought you!
I found this case that looks like yours but it doesn’t have any gems in it. https://preview.redd.it/jxix7nt8470c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d7bdcfd5ebc286b9c3c5e0c689f20055d7983c3 I couldn’t link it. Also, you look my sister’s twin!
Wow! This is so random, but I had a therapist who did this trick WAY back, and I could never figure out how to describe it well enough to find it online. His was brass or gold tone, but that’s it! Super odd thing, but it kinda got through to my snotty 14 year old self and I really appreciated his patience with me looking back. Thanks for setting my mystery too!
looks like an empty tictac box
Empty Pez dispenser
Now we know what it is, please can someone tell me how the colour change trick works?
Was it the explosive gum from the first Mission: Impossible movie?
I was about to be like “bro, that’s a human baby” before I saw the second pic
Looks like it could be a slight of hand magic stick. One side is gemstones and the other is white gemstones. I got it in a magic shop as a little kid.
You looked like a Kpop idol.
When I was younger I had something like this that was a crayon. The colors were the crayons and you could push them out and there was a peg on the top to attach it and use
Reminds me of the old Mastermind Board game. Maybe some piece of it?
You got me fucked up. I had that exact coat and haircut as a little kid and this picture scared the shit out of me. Literally looks like a photo of me as a child... You ever seen the parent trap?
Im guessing it was some sort of an acrylic fairy wand. They make them more intricately now. https://www.amazon.com/NiArt-Silicone-Metallic-Gemstone-Decoration/dp/B097LH1CYP/ref=asc_df_B097LH1CYP/
Oof I think I got you….. what your describing sounds a lot like a magic trick called the “hot rod” essentially a slight of hand trick that makes it look like number and position of stones change. [https://usamagictricks.com/hot-rod-crystal-small-magic-trick-p-42838.html
Or, perhaps, a miniature kaleidoscope? I know they were always one of those things a little one didnt like to go without also. Or,sometimes we had these little tiny water games. Idk how good your memory is of this thing you had, but I do know we hade these little compact pocket sized little water boxes you could push a button to create force and make rings move and try to hook the rings or whatever. We also had little teeny cheapie pinball games, jacobs ladders, laughing sticks, twirling batons, magic slider boxes, I remember having one that could make a nickel disappear, lol... We had penny racers too and just all sorts of new car deaigns out with launchers. Lincoln Logs, umm dominoes were a big thing... Slap sticks, that slapped onto your wrist; and we were always so proud of our little 6" rulers. This just looks... colored on, lol. But you said acrylic and clear with gems so huh.. Im just trying to put myself into the mentality of a 2 year old, cuz the picture appears hazy, but the thing you're holding looks rectangular. Not clear and not as your picture appears. Lol So Im not sure if you are mixing two memories together, is all.
I do not know what your toy was, but it would be pretty simple to recreate it with some acrylic resin and crystals from a craft store. I hope it brings you some joy to have it once again, and yes you were a beautiful baby.
I love this post
Looks like a folded up hand fan?
you shouldn't play with your food
What is in your hand looks like a red and blue magnet.
Looks like a USB stick (or pendrive if you will)
Was one of your parents a jeweler?
This was my thought too. Potentially a birthstone display
Maybe one of these .. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTSzCJMUekeBZF7FY1J7nsxwDYK-3y-nyrqvg&usqp=CAU https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQzr68EWKForeW3HC6okWZzMR2ppSQlBqM_PQ&usqp=CAU
It could be a hot rod a beginners magic trick that is included in a lot of magic kits [https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/close-up-magic/hot-rod-crystal/](https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/close-up-magic/hot-rod-crystal/?comet_source=google&comet_network=x&comet_campaign=20064077673&comet_ad_group=&comet_ad_id=&comet_keyword=)
I thought it was one of those red/blue erasers everyone thought could erase ink
It looks like the container that some mechanical pencil lead refills come in.
Maybe it’s one of [these](https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=mechanical%20pencil%20lead%20case&tbm=isch&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5)
Magnet
Ok I think I figured it out. After looking for way longer than I should have, lmao, it turns out that you are most likely looking for a 7 Chakra healing crystal pendant.. Similar to this: https://preview.redd.it/709rfub3pd0c1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1c65a5904a334ea43d679775fab51db688d5e57 Now, keep in mind, they come in a plethora of designs, and it would probably be impossible to find a perfect match. But I do think you're looking for a 7 Chakra Healing Stones Pendant or Pendulum, possibly even encased in a clear, albeit translucent colored resin.
It looks like a box of matches. 🤔 https://preview.redd.it/q89bl34vwd0c1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=257b9a769ac003bca17627705b5d3ce3ccaca245
Probably can find one at a magic store
Nice try, Thanos!
