SECRETS OF A BACK ALLEY ID MAN
Fake ID Construction Techniques of the Underground

by Sheldon Charrett

Producing credible IDs is harder than ever before as the bureaucratic machine proliferates such Orwellian devices as holograms and magnetic swipes to thwart modern desktop technicians. In his latest book, veteran privacy author Sheldon Charrett shows how persistent privacy seekers readily replicate driver’s licenses, birth certificates and other supposedly “secure” identity documents. In Secrets of a Back-Alley ID Man you will learn about the most effective techniques and tricks for IDs, as well as “poor man’s” techniques for those on a tight budget. Charrett also reveals a technique for reproducing holograms that has never before been published by anyone, anywhere, as well as his own previously unpublished technique for making cheap and effective embossing plates for notary and state seals. With more than 50 detailed photographs and a dozen tables and illustrations. For academic study only. 8 1/2 x 11, softcover, photos, illus., 96 pp.
