Pros: safe, magical, ideal gift

Con: the timer works only if wand is placed on the criss-cross

Kandela Magical Wand and Enchanted Candle, with its ivory and bone design, gives it a classic look that is magical. However, the candle and remote control wand are gadgets that both work on the very modern infrared technology. The ‘candle’ is actually a cleverly designed device that works on two LED lights and even has a power on and off switch at the bottom. The flame flickers like a real candle but does not heat up and no wax falls off from it.

The magic candle works like a real candle as it goes off when you blow on it. In addition, the remote control wand is used to light it. If you want it on, just flick the wand and if you want it off, then wiggle it. If you feel that you are likely to fall asleep while it is on, you can time it to automatically go out in one hour. Just place the wand on the criss-cross part of the candle and point it towards the flame, and sure enough, it will go out in an hour’s time. It works from a distance of 4 meters.

Kandela Magical Wand and Enchanted Candle requires 4 X AAA (LRO3) alkaline batteries only. Make sure you use new batteries for this. Fit the batteries into the candle and switch on the power switch. The wand will work automatically once the candle has been switched on. If you blow it out, it remains on standby mode.

Verdict:

Show some magic during celebrations with the Kandela Magical Wand And Enchanted Candle. Light up the house for celebrations or for even a magic candle light dinner. This is one flame that will not go out until you want it to!

The seemingly innocent remote control gadget can actually scare unsuspecting victims as children can play pranks with it from afar, since the infra-red remote can be used from a range of nine metres. The cockroach is 6.5 cm long and needs 6 X AA and 1×9V batteries to work. It can be used both indoors and outdoors too.

Watch boredom evaporate when the unique feature called ‘prepare to scare’ existing in the Natural History Museum RC Cockroach is activated. Once the cockroach is primed for this action, it will go completely still for 30 seconds, and after the time is up, it will suddenly start scuttling about in all directions for another 20 seconds. It could scare anybody watching a horror movie!

Verdict:

This nasty little toy is ideal for someone who loves playing pranks. It would make a good birthday or Christmas gift. The Natural History Museum RC Cockroach can provide hours of entertainment as it is already fun just watching it dart about at full speed. It is truly lifelike and offers unlimited fun.

The Advantages of the Cyclone Micro HD Media Player

One of the gadgets which has made a great impact recently on the portable media player market is the Sumvision Cyclone Micro HD media player. This version of the super compact media player comes fully equipped to upscale and play any video file to an HD resolution. It can also play files that are already in the HD format in addition to a host of other filetypes, making it one of the most versatile players on the market to date.

People have already begun to sing high praise for this device, with some going even so far as to call it the end of the DVD. Here’s one such review by a happy customer, Simon Rees:

“Great gadget for playing downloaded movies. I’m converted. Could be the end of the dvd?”

One of the more elaborate reviews on this device says,

“I bought this so I could watch my PC content on my 32″ HDTV as well as a smaller, older CRT TV. It works brilliantly, I used the standard red, white, yellow cables to connect to my older TV and HDMI for my flatscreen and the clarity is amazing — it’s like watching a film on the HD channel on both TVs (you tend to forget it’s coming from the tiny micro device). Highly recommended for watching any movie / TV content, the device actually upscales the video to 1080i, it also gives a standard SD movie file (e.g 700Mb) that HD color-corrected look, far better image than on my Dell monitor.”

Here are some of the advantages of this player in addition to the ones mentioned above:

In addition to being able to upscale regular movie files, the player can also upscale photos and handle files in a number of different formats such as JPEG, GIF, and BMP
For audio, it supports MP3, WMA, and more formats
The Cyclone Micro HD media player has a built in high speed USB 2.0 host, which enables the users to plug into a USB storage device such as USB flash drive, hard disk, and MP3 player to playback the media files directly

To sum it up, this product will change your movie watching experience for good — provided, of course, that you acquire the original device from a reliable vendor.
