4.0 out of 5 stars Superb-riamos!, January 2, 2011
This review is from: Kymera Magic Wand Remote Control (Electronics)
This wand operates on 2 AAA batteries, which are included.

BUILD QUALITY
The whole thing is made of plastic. Kind of disappointing for an item that costs almost a Benjamin. The quality of the plastic is mediocre. It's definitely not the same quality of solid plastic you'd find on a DSLR. The metal end of the wand where the batteries are inserted is not metal, just metal plated plastic. That part is the cheapest feeling part of the wand. There's also a green, plastic gem-like accent, which cheapens the overall look/feel of the wand rather than enhance it. They could've at least used a real metal end cap with a glass accent gem. The end cap is a bit difficult to screw on and off the wand.

LOOKS
Overall, the wand looks really similar to its pictures on the web. However, the metal end piece looks cheaper in real life. It does come with a really nice sheet of instructions, definitely several grades up from the cheap instructions that come from Ikea products.

OPERATION
This wand is able to learn 13 functions. 11 of them are fairly easy to master. However, there are 2 gestures that are almost impossible to execute. Here's a list of all the gestures, listed in order from easiest to impossible to do:

- Big swish
- Flick up
- Flick down
- Flick left
- Flick right
- Tap on top
- Double-tap on top
- Rotate clockwise (do it slowly)
- Rotate counter-clockwise (do it slowly)
- Push forward
- Pull back
* Tap on side (never works)
* Double-tap on side (never works)

The wands gives you feedback by vibrating. It vibrates different numbers of times to return different types of feedback confirmations. It would've been SO MUCH COOLER if the tip of the wand glowed (like in the movie) to show feedback.

SUMMARY
This wand looks decent and works fairly well. It's definitely fun to use and your friends will all want to attend Hogwarts after they watch you cast spells and magically control your tv! However, this product could be so much better, wait for version 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars My husband loved it!, November 5, 2010
By 
K Schlitz Nanney (Mt. Clemens, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kymera Magic Wand Remote Control (Electronics)
Purchased this "magic wand" for my husband, a huge Harry Potter fan and a remote control addict. He loved it and immediately began to teach the wand various commands. I find it a little hard to get used to, thus the slightly lower rating on ease of operation. He finds it all kinds of fun and can't wait to show it off to our friends and guests. Delivery from the supplier was on time and as expected. The wand came in a beautiful box which is used to store and display. I'd recommend this for any magic lover or remote control freak!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift!!!, November 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kymera Magic Wand Remote Control (Electronics)
I bought this as a wedding gift for my friends. He is an IT guru and she is a dedicated Harry Potter fan. THEY LOVED IT and spent a couple of days playing with the wand. I think it took about a half hour each to learn the different actions to make it work but overall, they say they are very happy with the product.
