Commercials, be gone! Kymera’s magic wand, apparently, does more than fend off your average beast ogres. It’s also a fully-functional universal remote. The wand can learn up to 13 “magical functions” for any remote-controlled device, allowing you to control them with pre-defined gestures. For instance, twisting the remote controls volume, and we imagine you can change channels by flicking the wand up or down. You’ll have to power it with batteries, as opposed to your own magical energy, and the price is £49.95 or about $83. Training in the dark arts is, unfortunately, not included. [The Wand Company via Coolest Gadgets]
