Log horizon Shiro cosplay prop build attempts and questions

[LeCard]

So I've been trying to work out the best way to make the gear for Shiroe's season 1 gear and I think I've work it all out with the exception of his staff.

Where I'm stumped is how to fit the staff with the two different sets of LEDs for his spells (possibly even a third set if I can) and making the staff able to colapse in on its self. I have dismatled and sort of figured out how to turn a golf ball retriever into the staff but it lacks a way to keep it open or keep it closed, so it just makes alot of noise when I walk =( .
I will continue to experiment with these things on my own but any advice/help or even flat out blueprints (lol) for getting this staff to do all that would be greatly appreciated.
