The Technomancer Digital Wizard Hoodie is the new standard in nerdy hoodies. This piece of clothing actually started life as a practical joke that ThinkGeek played on its fans in 2012. However, the joke has come to life and is now an actual hoodie that you can buy and pretend to cast spells in. The Technomancer Digital Wizard Hoodie comes programmed with nine spells along with accompanying lights and sounds.
The Technomancer Digital Wizard Hoodie knows which spell is which thanks to its built-in accelerometer. The accelerometer can tell how you’re moving your arms, as each spell is paired to a specific patter of movement. The result is sleeves that light up and make sounds when you flail your arms, just like a real wizard! The hoodie is on sale for $119.
