Is The Wand Company Still in Business? (2026 Update)
Richard Blakesley and Chris Barnardo brought The Wand Company to Dragons' Den in season 8, pitching a gesture controlled universal remote that let you point and flick your way through a TV menu like you were casting a spell.
Short answer: yes, it is still in business. The company's best known product, a wand shaped universal remote licensed from the Harry Potter films, is still listed for sale by at least one European retailer as of our July 2026 check.
What they pitched in the Den
The Wand Company asked for £200,000 in exchange for 30% of the business, valuing it at roughly £666,667. Duncan Bannatyne agreed to the terms on air and became the sole backer.
The pitch leaned on novelty as much as function: the wand recognised specific gestures and mapped them to remote control commands, so a flick could mean mute and a swirl could mean channel up. It was a strange thing to pitch to five investors in suits, and it worked.
Are they still trading?
When we checked in July 2026, the Kymera Wand replica remote control was listed for sale on tradeinn.com, a Spanish based European retailer, complete with a working add to basket button. That is current evidence of a live listing, not a historical mention.
The Wand Company itself has built a reputation well beyond this one product, expanding into a wider range of screen accurate replica props for film and TV franchises, which suggests the business behind the wand has had staying power rather than fading after the Dragons' Den bump.
Can you still buy it?
As of our check, the Kymera Wand was available through tradeinn.com. Availability through any single retailer can shift, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a permanent guarantee.
If that listing has since disappeared, the safest next step is to search for The Wand Company's own site and licensed retail partners directly, since a wand branded remote from a company with this level of longevity tends to resurface somewhere even if one listing goes quiet.
