Child Cruelty ?

OH has two young kids from her first marriage.

Long story short, I have inadvertantly discovered that the TV remote from a small portable TV is compatible with the main TV and when the kids are naughty I hide the portable remote in my pocket and press the off switch while clicking my fingers at the same time.

The children thus believe I have magical powers and when they are naughty and the wrestling is on or perhaps Me Too on CBeebies I start clicking my fingers and saying ' Magic. Magic '

The kids then have the fear of whatever in them and behave impeccably as they think I have magical TV switching off powers.

Is this child cruelty, reasonable chastisement or downright genius ?
