Inspired by the boy wizarding of Harry Potter, British inventors have created a magic wand for controlling your TV.

They say that with a simple flick of the wrist the 14 inch Kymera Wand can control a TV, DVD player and stereo.

Different gestures - such as flicking the wand upwards or rotating it - each trigger a different function like changing the channel or volume.

And while we all know the infra-red device works thanks to technology and not magic you will not be able to stop yourself saying a spell everytime you turn over.
