Magic sticks is not an idiom, so all we know is that they are sticks of some kind with magical properties. Drum sticks? Augury sticks? Sticks used in a ritual where a curse is placed on someone?



"Turn your back on me" means literally to turn away from me, so that your back is facing me. In various contexts it can mean "leave me" or "ignore me" or "abandon me" or "look away from me (for example, in anger, or motivated by some other emotion)".



The verb pick up can mean "to take in the hand something that is lying on a surface" or "to lift and embrace" or "to discern, become aware of" or "to catch, as a disease".

However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
