We all love to be masters of the TV remote, but now you can go one step further and become a channel surfing wizard.

Recent advances in technology have taken entertainment out of the cinema and apparated it right into our living rooms. Systems use everything from surround sound to 3D DVDs to create magical experiences, and now you also finally have the right tool to truly become the master of your own entertainment empire.

The Magic Wand Remote Control has just blasted onto the scene and has taken the lowly old remote to a whole new dimension. It wins on just the fact that it looks like something out of Harry Potter, but as a bonus it also actually works. You can teach your wand up to 13 different commands from changing the channel to recording your favourite show. A different motion of your choice performs each command and can be as refined as simply flicking your wrist to dramatically casting a spell on the TV.

The best part? You don’t have to tell anyone which motion will eject the latest Harry Potter DVD – making you look like a real magician when you yell Alohomora! and the drive just suddenly pops open.
