Calling all Harry Potter fans; if you like magic or if you are just bored with your conventional remote control, then the Kymera Magic Wand is for you. This easy to use universal remote control uses gestures instead of buttons to control functions such as channel changing, volume, track skip and others.
In total the wand recognizes 13 different gestures that can be programmed to represent your chosen functions. You won’t find the Kymera Magic Wand at Ollivander’s Wand Shop in Diagon Alley as this wand is exclusive to Muggles. The wands are available for pre-order and the first shipment is scheduled to be released on October 1st.
