The device is devoid of buttons and is capable of performing 13 feats of magical, picture-altering functions that is programmed from your existing remotes. The Remote Control Wand is able to operate almost any TV, DVD, digital boxes and just about anything that requires interaction with an infrared remote control.

The Remote Control Wand arrives in style. Enveloped in a dramatic red-silk brocade-lined gift box, the wand will have your friends guessing whether or not you're an actual magician, or just a big tech geek. Bring a touch of magic to any blockbuster night with the Remote Control Wand.
