Conversation Catcher
Price $ 34.99
The Conversation Catcher is an electronic listening
dish with a parabolic dish sound collector. Looking like
a bizarre cross between a toy gun and a satellite dish,
it picks up sounds and amplifies them so you can hear
them perfectly. All you have to do is put the head-
phones on, point the Catcher at the source of the
sound you want to hear and pull the trigger ‘on' switch.
The best thing about the Conversation Catcher is its
discreet appearance. Who's going to notice a large
green plastic gun with a dish stuck on it pointing at
them? Okay, so we're being moderately sarcastic. If
you want an MI5 style near-invisible listening device,
this isn't it. But it is surprisingly effective, and bound to
raise a laugh wherever you take it.
Hear everything from distant birdsong to the whispering
in the office. You can even hear sounds from as far as
120 feet away! The Conversation Catcher even has a
frequency controller, allowing you to reduce unwanted
background noise so you can hear what you really
want to hear even more clearly.

Conversation Catcher electronic listening dish

An excerpt from a US magazine "The Spy" read - "OK,
let's set the scene. You're a sales rep and you're on
their turf, you've done your greatest presentation ever
and you desperately need this order to meet your sales
target and get your bonus. The buyers look a little ap-
prehensive though. Is the price an issue? Is it the quan-
tity? At this point you make a trip to the John while
leaving your calculator switched on. Seems normal and
harmless, right? Well not if you're a hungry salesman
and you're using the Spy Calculator with built in micro-
phone. While you're in the John you can listen in on
how well (or badly) you're doing and what discount you
need to offer to close the sale. Boys Stuff certainly do
not condone this use of the Spy calculator but...
...Imagine knowing what people are thinking, what they
really think of you, whether they fancy you, whether
they're deceiving you. It's dangerous stuff. It's even
arguable that knowing too much is negative. While the
Spy Calculator doesn't allow you to read peoples'
minds, place it in a room and it will pick up whatever
conversation is taking place and transmit it to your very
own receiver with earphones at distances up to 100
feet away.
The powerful microphone is housed in a fully working,
silver-metallic finish calculator so it's totally discreet.
