Corrected entry: Fiona knocks out Charming at the ball. Puss, sitting on donkey's back, holds the magic wand. They are 5-7 meters from the spot where Charming falls. There is a short clip where the Fairy Godmother talks with the King - and suddenly Charming grabs the wand from Puss. He couldn't have gotten up and over there so fast - and without anyone noticing.

Correction: Everyone's attention was on the King and the Godmother. Everyone, including Donkey, moved closer to Shrek and Fiona during the conversation with the King and Godmother and it is entirely plausible for him to stand up and grab the wand.
