ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic wand novelty device for children utilizing a caricature illuminated in a constant color with a plurality of optical fibers extending therefrom. A mount for the optical fibers is secured to an illumination device and includes a color pallet so as to cause colored tip illumination of the optical fibers. The holder of the fibers may be of a fixed color and serves to orient the proximal end of the optical fiber bundle directly over the light source. Accordingly, the colored light is conveyed through fibers, with the longitudinal lengths of the fibers producing solid, whitish light. The holder therefore allows the caricature head to be made of a predetermined color and allows for a realistic likeness under normal lighting conditions and a predetermined colorization or illumination when placed in a darkened environment. The head illumination is thereby not affected by a fixed or everchanging colored light produced at the ends of the fiber optics which extend from an aperture through the end of the caricature head.
