Is An Invisibility Cloak Possible?

After my recent Harry Potter invisibility cloak post I wondered if it is even possible to create a real invisibility cloak. I discovered this History Channel special quite simply called, Invisibility Cloaks in which the television show That's Impossible looks at the science of a cloak.

They say that humans have been searching forever for a way to be invisible and that this power is getting closer. Watch this program to see the technology that may eventually allow us to be unseen. It looks at everything from battle tanks and cities disappearing to camouflage and cloaks and discusses the good and bad of such a possibility.

Cloak of Invisibility - Wikipedia

Cloaks of invisibility are relatively rare in folklore; although they do occur in some fairy tales, such as The Twelve Dancing Princesses, a more common trope is the cap of invisibility. 

Harry Potter's Cloak of Invisibility

The world searches for the ultimate Harry Potter invisibility cloak and we found one. This cloak has been designed to look like the one used in the movie. Using an app, which is included with the cape, you can make the cloak disappear. Wear it with the patterned side out and it is visible; flip it around with the green outside and whoever is wearing it disappears on the screen. 

"Harry Potter's cloak of invisibility grants the wearer the power of invisibility."

Kymera's Harry Potter Wand Remote Control Review

WHO WILL LOVE THE HARRY POTTER REMOTE CONTROL WAND?

Harry Potter fans are going to love this television remote control. Imagine lounging on the couch and, with a flourish of your wand, changing the channel.

A novelty gift item that is a perfect Christmas gift idea for fans of Harry Potter, wizardry and magic lovers everywhere. Kymera's wand remote control allows you to be the wizard. You can master any of the items in your home for which you have a remote control including but not limited to your television, ceiling fans and lighting. The wand will memorize up to thirteen remote control codes and allow you to use them according to your gestures. You will be able to turn things on and off as well as up and down.

Your wand will arrive packaged in a beautiful box with detailed instructions. Mugglenet.com, the fan website devoted to all things Harry Potter, finished their discussion with, "The Kymera magic wand is truly a puzzle piece of engineering." I agree. Read on to decide what YOU think.

The technology inside the wand is a universal remote control chip, which works in the same manner as any universal remote control.

I believe that user reviews are a great way to judge the quality of a product. K. Schlitz Nanney says that she purchased this remote control or magic wand for her husband who loves Harry Potter and remote controls. He was pleased and set about teaching it the commands it needed to know right away. She finds it a bit hard to get used to but she is not enthralled with HP the way he is. He has a lot of fun with it and enjoys showing it off to guests. It arrived in a lovely box which can be used to store and to display the wand. Nanney recommends Kymera's magic wand for anyone who loves magic and remote controls.

Frequency Cast says that this is an easy-to-use remote control. You program it to do what you want - like turning the television on or off and changing the volume and channel.

Please note that this review was written in 2010. I do not know how it will work with today's smart televisions.

The Best Old Movies for Families: A Guide to Watching Together

Reviewers highly recommend The Best Old Movies for Families: A Guide to Watching Together. This book is a guide to older movies that breaks them down into three age ranges:

FOR THE LITTLE ONES AGED 3-6: This section includes fast moving movies that are fairly simple but not dumbed down. This section would include movies like Singin' in the Rain and Bringing Up Baby.

FOR THE ONES IN BETWEEN AGED 7-12: This section includes great stories with the characters in simple situations that turn out not to be quite so simple. This section includes movies like The African Queen and Some Like It Hot do the job well.

FOR THE OLDER ONES AGED 13+: This section includes movies that relate to contemporary movies and compares movies. For instance, without Alfred Hitchcock's work, there might be no Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
