James Bond has had a new lease of life thanks to the revamped look Daniel Craig has injected into the genre as more people are checking out the spy gadgets anyone can buy from an online spy shop.

The Daniel Craig Effect

Google ‘spy shop’ and you’ll find fascinating spy shops selling dedicated spy and surveillance equipment that anyone can buy. You don’t have to be a secret agent or security officer. There are a myriad of reasons why people visit an online spy shop, from personal reasons to corporate security.

Obsessed with Espionage

But there is an inherent glamour associated with surveillance and spy equipment available from a spy shop. It seems the British can’t get enough of their obsession with the world of espionage from TV hit series Spooks to Bond on the big screen. And the arrival of Daniel Craig has certainly shaken and stirred spy fans. Casino Royale was the UK’s most popular entertainment product in the first half of 2007 in a culture chart compiled by the Entertainment Retailers’ Association with DVDs of the movie selling 2.28m copies.

The Craig Cocktail

It’s no wonder then that interest has been peaked in the spy shop and surveillance equipment featured in the Bond movies. Technology has advance so rapidly that the spy gadgets once considered being exclusive to governments and security forces are now accessible and affordable at a dedicated spy shop online. Daniel Craig initially caused huge controversy for being a ‘blonde Bond’ but his acting prowess and the appearance of his now famous swimming trunks changed all that. Craig was soon after dubbed the most stylish man in the UK by GQ magazine.

Be like Bond

Perhaps the interest in spy equipment and gadgets from the online spy shop is also thanks to the fact that Craig is a convincing action hero as he has the muscles to match, prompting headlines such as ‘the spy who buffed up’. Perhaps the Daniel Craig effect has ensured that the much loved Bond genre has kept up with the times and attracted a new (and female) fan base thanks to Craig – even the broadsheets lost their heads over the blonde Bond: “He is simply demonically sexy,” declared the Guardian. It’s not surprising all things Bond, including his famous spy gadgets, are sought after by fans at the online spy shop.
