Show #1844 Thursday August 12th 2021 Independent Show 323
Wow! We’re in year 16 of The Giz Wiz Show! (The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006!) If it wasn’t for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you’d like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv/
On this week’s show we start with a kid’s camera that makes prints for as little as a penny each! It’s the Vtech KidiZoom Printcam!
Kids will love that they can click and print instantly with the KidiZoom PrintCam. First they preview their subject on the 2.4″ color screen. The can print regular or panoramic photos in black and white right away. And as you’ll see on this week’s show, the printing is fast! Want to take a selfie? Just flip the lens up! The included paper roll prints up to 80 images— which works out about a penny a print. When the paper’s gone a refill pack that includes three more paper rolls and two rolls of adhesive paper to turn photos into stickers sells for about $10.00. And they can add stickers, filters and borders to any image or video. Turn photos into drawings they can color. There are 110+ templates and activities including small greeting cards, printable games and more. This kid-friendly camera takes videos, too! Transfer your full-color photos and videos to a computer via the included USB cable. Use the microSD card slot to increase storage up to 32GB with a memory card (not included). Three video games are included for playtime between photo shoots. Includes parent controls to set daily time and printing limits or turn off games. Non-removeable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery and USB charging cable included. The company says “best for ages 4 to 11 years”. MSRP: $74.99

The Thames & Kosmos Aero Dancer Kit
This is a hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) experiment kit. Here’s how the company describes it: Incredible Inflatable Aero Dancer brings physics to life through experiments with a wacky, waving, wiggling tube dancer! Kids ages 8 and up build and decorate their very own tube dancer that stands over one foot tall when it busts a move! (As you see in the video it’s not quite that wacky.) Learn about gears and circuits as you assemble the fan, complete with battery, motor, and switch. Conduct experiments with your tube dancer to understand air pressure, air flow, aerodynamics, and fluid dynamics. An 8-page, full-color manual includes straightforward scientific explanations. Also included are fun games to make a ball float on a stream of air, practice your aim in a game of air basketball, and launch balls into the air with the air cannon! (As you’ll see on this week’s show, part of the learning comes from building the fan, which I don’t have the patience for! But I think a kid will like doing it. Beware you’ll need to supply your own 9-volt battery, small phillips-head screwdriver, scissors and tape. MSRP: $19.99.)

Love the GizWiz show! Norris Hall
PS: As a kid growing up in the mid-late 20th Century (1960’s – 70’s), I loved MAD Magazine. I devoured every issue. You and the “Usual Gang of Idiots” are one of the reasons I chose my career as an illustrator. Especially the artists – Mort Drucker, Al Jaffee, Don Martin, Sergio Aragones, and many more MAD artists influenced me greatly. Thank You and the gang for making me so MAD!

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
