NEWS – This collapsible pocket staff/cane looks a whole cooler than it really is, but for less than $25 bucks (a whole lot less depending on where you buy one), this “magic” item might earn you some extra geek points. What is it? It’s a thin metal telescoping tube that extends into a 43-inch long staff and then shrinks back down into a fist-sized form factor that makes it perfect for close up magic tricks.
Made of thin stainless steel, the PocketStaff pops out with the press of a button. Just be careful where you’re pointing it and then also be careful when you collapse it back down because the comments on Amazon mention that the edges are really sharp.
Is the PocketStaff an effective weapon against zombies or hoards of orcs? Doubtful. If you check out the video below, you can see that it looks pretty flimsy. But it’s that pop out effect that you’re looking for right?
You can find the PocketStaff at outdoorlancastor.com for $24.95 and on Amazon for about $11. And just remember that it’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Maybe the best paragon could be the “Denn’bok”, the Minbari folding staff used by the Anla’Shok ( https://babylon5.fandom.com/wiki/Denn%27bok )… but I undertsand that maybe 90% of the blog readers are too young to have seen Babylon 5… 😀
We live for the one, we die for the one…
Well, about that “to die for him” issue… I was more considering to stop at paper cut level, ifyoudontmind… 😉
I always wanted one!!!
Purchased one and still never received it. It’s been 7 weeks, and their support staff hasn’t replied to my last email in 9 days. Please don’t do business with them – they’ll take your money and vanish.
🙁 well that stinks! Please keep us posted if it ever does show up.
