How to unlock the Sorcerer's Apprentice achievement in Kinect Disneyland Adventures - Definitive Guide
You will receive the wand after helping Cinderella (I was also level 4 I believe when I received it).
AFter that, just equip it and spam whilst walking around doing other collection tasks for the characters. There are loads of wand secrets to collect, including:
- Trash cans
- Storm drains
- Lamp posts
- Unique secrets
- Parasols
- Some statues (e.g. the ones around the Walt Disney statue near the entrance of the park).
You will quickly rack up 50% of them. There is no achievement for collecting 100% so you can stop after this (though there are achievements for getting 50% complete for each area so you may want to keep going after you've unlocked the achievement).

Actually I believe you receive the wand when you first meet Cinderella and she requests your help.

Magic Wand Secrets:
Just about everything can "come to life" with a wave of your wand.
First off you need to go to Fantasyland and talk to Cinderella who is on the west side of King Aurthor's Carousel and she will give you the wand and a task.
Once she gives you the wand you can begin to complete this achievement simply "find" all the magic wand secrets these are everything from manhole covers to trash cans and umbrellas (Parasols). if you currently have the wand equipped (keep in mind you cannot move forward with the wand hand so choose whitch hand you want to run with and put your wand in the other hand) You can equip this by saying the commands "Xbox" --> "Magic Items" --> "Magic Wand" this will put it in your default hand or the hand that last held an item. If you want to switch hands simply hold the hand you want it in up in the air until the item selection circle appears and then move your hand and hold it on the wand to select it.
It's useually a good idea to have the wand in your hand as you run between atteractions as items you can "wand" will glow with blue/purple stars that sparckle making them hard to miss. When you "wand" and item by flicking your arm at it the item will come to life by bouncing around and spitting out a bunch of coins. If you have not already hit this item a counter will appear in your upper left corner stating "X number of X items" (If there is only one then it may just say the name of the item/secret discovered. Either way this item will no longer glow letting you know that you've already got that item.
(NOTE: If you exit the game when you continue your game later all the coins and "sparkeling glows" will reset even though your game progress counter will still have the number you completed. I have not confirmed yet if you can get multiple hits on the same item this way or not. can someone confirm?)
Now that thats covered for this achievement you just have to go all thoughtout the park until you've wanded 50% of the items.
(there is a place to check this I think in your game menu but I will have to confirm exactly where)
Here is a list of all the items I know about so far though my own playthough and with the help of this guide

Personal note: the achievement poped up for me when I was working on the Main Street U.S.A. secrets after I had gotten 100% of them in Fantasyland

Just a note for all of these "50% of the secrets" achievements: You have to get 50% of the secrets and not just the 50% of all of the "items" to be squirted, blasted, etc. Meaning that in order to get 1 secret, you will have to get all of the items in that group (e.g., squirt 50 Jalapeno Flowers in Tomorrowland). What this means, is that you can be much more efficient at all of these if you target the smaller groups of items.
The only reason that I figured this out is because I noticed that my first two of these achievements only popped when I completed an entire group of items to get a secret.
Other than that, just use NickHawkeye's solution to see how many groups of items there are.

This one is the easiest out of the magic item secrets, but probably the most time consuming because there are so many items. Just use your wand on anything with purple sparkling dust floating around it. The most common are manholes, umbrellas and trash cans, but there could be other stuff. Do this in five or six lands and the achievement will unlock.
