I guess I'll have to try again.The one I have is 6" slender 1/2 the size he is but a little bigger than his wand.From what I've read he could take it no problem. I know that he would enjoy it if he tries it. He did try it himself and said nope, too much.Hopefully I'll be able to let you know one day if it happens.I certainly don't want to push him if feels uncomfortable.
