Follow on Google News | Win a Real Magic Wand at Spring Fair InternationalHit invention the Kymera Magic Wand showcased by Dragons’ Den record breakers at Spring Fair
By: Dynamo The Wand Company’s magical stand (Hall 5, Stand 5K77) will show wands controlling lights, iPods, TV and Macs – and even give visitors the chance to walk away with their very own wand. They will also be joined on Monday by award winning magician Chris Dugdale, who is the only magician in history to have performed for The Queen and the United Nations, as well as celebs like Angelina Jolie and Simon Cowell. The Kymera Wand, designed and developed in Great Britain, home of Harry Potter, Narnia and Lord of the Rings, is the world’s first motion-sensitive, buttonless universal remote control using high-tech gesture recognition and a standard infrared signal (IR) that enables it to magically flick channels on the TV, fast forward through a Blu-Ray or listen to the next track on your iPod playlist. With a RRP of £49.95, the Kymera Wand has already seen nationwide publicity and retail success in the UK. In August 2010, the founders appeared on hit BBC TV show the Dragons’ Den, and were offered record-breaking investment totaling £900,000. Over Christmas, the Kymera Wand outsold traditional remote controls on Amazon UK and was one of the top gadgets sold in London’s most prestigious department store. In September 2010 the Wand Company also launched the Kandela, an enchanted LED candle which can be lit and extinguished with its own magic wand. In 2011, the Wand Company will be focused on opening up international markets for its range of magic wands, as well as launching marketing and communications campaigns to support retailer sales of existing and new products.
