Wouldn't it be great just to look at a tv and it shuts off? Well, theres a device on the market right now that fits in the palm of your hand and will turn off any tv at all! when I saw this on the news about a dozen applications came to mind right away! I did a web search and found it at http://www.tvbgone.com/cfe_tvbg_main.php and I bought 2. The mentalism routines would be great and just carrying the thing around lends itself to "Harry Potter" type impromtu magic. I though of "the Fonz" when I saw this and how he was able to just wack any jukebox and it would play for him.
The device is just a one button remote that only turns T.V.'s off. That's it, but it can fit in your hand and I'm going to hook it up to a pull just in case! I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm sure if it's not it will be moved. Once mine arrive I'll do a review in the Good,Bad, and Garbage file Mike

I just don't think it would be very effective considering people know that TV's can be turned off by remote.

Hmm, maybe so - but the idea would be to make them think you did it by magical means (the power of your mind) People also know that things can float on a wire, tis our job to make them think otherwise.
Hiding it in your palm, making a gesture with the other hand toward the TV, and having it zip up your coat after "the dirty" when people start looking sounds like a sound routine to me.

The device works in seconds on any TV. another bit of misdirection may well be that they have their remote in sight. People know about universal remotes too, but they also know they are a pain in the butt to program (and take forever).

Maybe in Canada. In the US, the remote you get when you subscribe to cable will turn almost any TV on or off without programming. Ditto your VCR.
It will only work on TV's that have remote capability. BTW, "rozzer" has two "r"s.

I did not know a cable remote would turn off any tv Bill, I guess it's not as amazing as I thought. I'm still going to fool around with it though.
I did know rozzer had two r's. I think I'll add another Z though Now can you tell me what rozzer means?
