Fake I.D.'s
Ok, The first thing you need to do is go on the internet and find a web site that has
images of licences. Save them and then edit them in one of your imaging programs.
Then print it.
Magnetic Stripes
These only look like the magnetic stipes, they are
not working magnetic stripes!
Ok, what you need to make magnetic stipes is just
black elecrtical tape, scissors, and an iron.
Now cut the tape so it is the width that you want
usually about 1/4 of an inch. And cut it the entire
length of the card, and tape it on. Now this is how the
final product will look, but if someone were to examine
it they would find that the tape is elevated off of the card
Now what you need to do is place a soft cloth over the card
and iron the tape. Waht you want to do is melt the edges of
the tape onto the card so that when you run your fingers over
it you cannot feel the difference. Keep at it, this sounds A LOT
easier than it really is. and also do in on TOP of the lamination, duh.

Holograms
A hologram can greatly affect the look of an id, since holograms
are incredibly hard to reproduce, one will almost surely validate
the credibility of your card. To make holograms you will need:
Titanium Dioxide Powder (look in chemistry catalogs,labs, some art stores)
Acrylic Base (most art supply stores) Razor Blade ( Revco, your friend for life)
Now mix the powder and base, it be like a paint
with sparkles in it. Now spread it out over the spot
where you want your hologram to be, and use the razor blade
to scrape off the design. Scrap off the paint where you want
just the card to shine through. If you mess up, scrap it all off
and start again. Study the hologram you want to duplicate
throughly so you are able to copy it well. What this basically
is is just paint that has sparkles in it, and when held at an angle
will shine, just like a hologram. Do this UNDER/BEFORE you laminate.
If you plan on mass producing these, I suggest that you make
a stencil out of cardboard or plastic, it will greatly affect
the time and the look.
Holograms peel offs can also be purchased from paper companies, or
police supply catalogs. These are better looking, easier, cheaper,
but come only in limited styles (not likely to find state seals and the like).
other ways are:
Here's what you do: Take the seal off of the template that you are using. Copy and paste
it as a new image in the same location that you took it from on the template. (hint: most
graphics programs show the coordinates of your pointer in the bottom-left corner of the
screen) Copy the shape and contents of the hologram and paste it exactly where it should
be on the new image you have created just like you did with the state seal. Once this is
complete, print this out on a transparency sheet. (I usually print out a whole page them
at a time so I don't have to waste transparency sheets) The easiest way the cut-out the
transparency is to lay it right on top of your printed license (paying attention to the
location of the seal and the hologram image) and cut around the edges of the license with
an Exact-o knife. Once you have the transparency sheet cut-out, here's how you turn the
hologram into a believable one: Go to your local office supply company. (Officemax is
great) Look for presentation foil sheets ( they are usually right next to the laminating
supplies ). The come in a variety of colors, find one that matches the color of your
state's hologram. Gold colored works for most holograms. Cut a piece of foil big enough to
cover your hologram and then place it in a carrier and run it through your laminator. When
it comes out, peel off the foil paper and you'll be amazed at the finished hologram. Put
this back on whatever you are going to laminate and then put the whole thing in a pouch a
laminate it. You will never notice the transparency sheet being there. Don't be cheap and
use an iron to laminate, spend $50 and buy one (use a minimum of 5 mil laminating pouches)
One more thing, Scotch makes a restickable adhesive glue stick so you can paste a remove
your photo, or whatever, as many times as you want to ensure that you get the photo on
straight. (to paste the photo on --if using Polaroid's) IMPORTANT: Make sure to let the
Polaroid's sit for at least 30 minutes before you peel the back layer off of them. If you
don't give it time, pieces of the Polaroid ink will stay on the backing paper leaving you
minus facial features. But, make sure you take the backing off of the Polaroid or else it
won't look genuine, the picture will stick out.
or...
First your going to need the real thing if you can get a holo. Go to walmart or any
Photoshop, and invest in some of the 3D Film. Now you can buy the cheap kind that comes in
the disposable camera or you can buy the real stuff at most photoshops. As always, the
more money you spend usually the better its gonna look. Now while your there look for the
transparency paper. any transparency plastic sheets will work, but if you buy the ones
from the photoshop your chances of a better look HOLO go up.
Once you got your supplies, expose a whole role of film on your holo. 3D doesnt always
come out the greatest so you'll probably get 4 or 5 good ones out of a role of film. Now
when you go to get these developed you want to get them printed, and you want to keep the
negatives. This way you can find the best ones and know which negative they corespond to.
When you choose your best negatives, Here comes the hard part.
You need to have some sort of access to a dark room, and hopefully you know how to develop
pictures. Any old Darkroom will work. As long as you have taken photography or know the
basic gist of it, you will be fine. Now what what you want to do is make your own prints
on the transparency sheets. This is tricky, becuase if you move it at all when it is being
developed the HOLO's will blur. So basically get a bunch of time and a bunch of negatives
and a bunch of transparency sheets. Try to have someone who knows hwo to develop film with
you. This helps. Also when you ary drying the photo try to keep all light away from it.
when you normally print you can turn the lights on a and let them dry. With holo's let
them dry completely in the dark. Dont use a hairdryer or anything to speed the process up,
that will fuck things up. be prepared to spend some time before you get the hang of it.
