So. AWESOME.

That's amazing.

I approve!

It's not that difficult to do; you soak it in nail varnish remover I think, and the card disolves, leaving you the chip and the metal wire aerial.

For a while, until I started mislaying 'em (and ended up with 6 or so of the things), I kept my oyster card with a glove, slipped the glove on when I was traveling with the card above my hand, and just rested my hand on the reader as I walked through. I've occasionally considered getting one of those sweat wristbands, cutting it open, sticking the card in, closing it up, then using that.

Something to do the next time I'm in London.

Further proof that sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology!

Nick will probably kill me if I do this when we're in London next month. Not least because my wand will be glittery, with ribbons and maybe sound effects...

I know what my next project will be. I have an Oyster card lying around . . .

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

That is absolutely marvellous.

I love the fact that (a) someone did it and (b) the published response was a positive one and not just being nasty about geekery.
