Wand

"Wand": What magic can we make in this crazy world?

Chris Walkman has an unusual problem: he's just been given $20,000 to make the world a better place, starting right in his hometown, Los Angeles of the 1990's. He'd better try something for real, or a not-so-little indiscretion at his previous job might become a bigger issue. So, fueled by the magic of the money and his overactive imagination, he sets to work, hires a homeless man as a co-pilot, and sets out to change things for the better. His key insight: the pen and television broadcast antennas are wands that can still make magic in our time.
