A long, long time ago, before the age of smartphones, there used to be these things called televisions that had huge screens to watch epic cinematic movies and well-written television programs that didn't have YouTubers as stars. Well, now you can sort of recreate that experience with this cool new Smartphone Magnifier from Luckies of London. Since everything in the modern 21st century so far seems to revolve around nostalgia and old-fashioned stuff this retro-styled cardboard TV should fit right in as it magnifies your smartphone screen up to two times. To use, simply find something to watch on your phone, place it into the cardboard "VHS tape", and then insert the tape into the side of the television. Voila! Your phone's screen has then been magnified on the the front. The perfect low tech solution for the increasingly bizarre high tech world.
