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 20^th 2006!) If it wasn't for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone.

We start this week's show a microphone like none you've ever seen before!

It's the Nevlers Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone! You'll need your sunglasses when you hold this. From the company: The Nevlers Karaoke Microphone has a comfortable handheld portable design which makes it easy to use all day. You get great sound with our built in, all in one wireless bluetooth speaker , recorder , and player so you can let your friends and family listen later on. Record using one of the many Karaoke Apps available. There is also a V-CTR button that can change your voice in 4 different ways. BEAUTIFUL BLING with LED lights. You can even match your party or event with our beautiful color options. $24.99.

From the Giz Wiz: You'll have to watch this week's show to see just how much BLING this has. Some of the features work well, some didn't seem to work very well at all, but one thing is pretty certain. Kids will LOVE this!

Free up valuable space on your desk with an adjustable Atumtek Riser.

With the Atumtek Monitor Riser you can keep a small size keyboard, mouse, and more under your computer, leaving your desk neater. It has three height adjustments: 3.9" -- 4.7" -and 5.5". You can use it for other gadgets too. I put my postage scale on my Atumtek stand, leaving room to store shipping supplies under it. On a desk you can raise your computer monitor to eye level for better posture. The ventilated design offers better cooling for a laptop, and the aluminium material is also excellent at heat dissipation. The company says it can hold up to 36 lbs. I'm not quite sure why they it "Fits laptops no more than 16".  If your laptop is a bit bigger I would think it would just over over the sides. The surface area is 14.6" X 9". There are non-slip pads underneath to help keep stand steady and to protect the surface it's sitting on. It does come in kit form and building it is easy and takes about 15 minutes. It's available in black and silver. It's priced around $21 to $22 for one and a bit cheaper in pairs. I bought the two pack, black.

First time in more than 15 years of shows that we covered this kind of gadget!

It's a toilet brush! No, not your standard toilet brush, it's the Marbrasse Standard PLUS+!

Info from the company: Our toilet bowl brush is made of the best grade ABS + Nylon for deep cleaning. It has a unique Under The Rim Brush to reach difficult spots and save cleaning time. The super long 15" handle helps reducing kneeling and bending as well. The sanitary storage caddy holds the brush up slightly off the base so it can dry & be stored effectively.

From The Giz Wiz. Well, there's really not a lot to say about a toilet brush, except that someone really took the time to design this one. It does let you clean all the places you tried to clean in the past but couldn't quite do it. Like up under the rim of the toilet bowl, and deep down into drain. This brush worked great. Cleanest the toilet looked since the day they installed it! I bought the two pack that shipped with two stands for under $20.00

Chad's Crappy Corner & his third gadget for his April Theme.

The winning theme, voted on by our loyal Patreons, is “TikTok Made Me Buy It!” Okay, TikTok is not really a place that sells stuff. It's a platform for one minute-or-less videos about pretty much anything. But some videos might demonstrate gadgets you just might want to own. So each week this month Chad watched one of those videos and he saw a gadget “TikTok Made Him Buy”!

This week Chad's must buy gadget is the Aura LED Illumalight multicolor LED light Bar.

Here's what the company says about it: Enhance your home atmosphere with a personalized lighting experience. Illumalight is fully customizable via remote and mobile app, transforming your space with a soft RGB glow in the color of your choice. 3" D x 3.6" W x 11" H. Controlled with Wireless Remote Control or Bluetooth App Controls from a Smartphone or Tablet.

And Chad's take? At first Chad thought the amount of light put out the LED light wasn't very bright. But with the lights lowered and taking into account a price of less than $10.00 this shined a bit brighter! As you'll see in Chad's demo, you can install it horizontal or vertical position. It's USB powered so it needs to be plugged into a computer, external battery charger (as Chad did), or use one of those AC to USB plugs you probably have in a drawer someplace. It uses Bluetooth for the phone app you download, or IR for the included remote. A pretty good deal for $9.88 at Walmart.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/AuraLED-Illumalight-multicolor-LED-light-Bar/947477436. $9.88 as of 4/22/21

It's more $ at Amazon. Different name, but looks exactly the same: $13.99 & free Prime shipping.https://amzn.to/3njYPf3  Price as of 4/24/21 Can change any time! As an Amazon Associate Giz Wiz Biz earns from qualifying Amazon purchases. You pay no more.

Good Afternoon Sir,

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.
