The business card you've been handed appears to be a standard paper business card. But then you see a tiny flame icon in the corner, and the adjacent fine print that says, "With Fire Comes Truth." You flick a Bic and touch the flame to the corner, and watch as the paper card burns away, revealing the
embedded ultra-thin laser-etched metal card inside. It turns out "Bob Smith, Head of Acquisitions" is actually "Chip Blazingstone, CEO"!

The world's most unforgettable (and potentially dangerous) business card. [doctorremulac3, Apr 03 2014]

[+] Just remember to hold it on the asbestos corner. |
|
| |
May I suggest a flash paper version where you rub the
flame emblem on card with a coin to trigger the
card's self ignition? Possibly even one where you tear
the corner off like pulling the pin on a grenade? |
|
| |
[doctorremulac3] FANTASTIC! |
|
| |
Suggestion: Etch the corners of the metal card with Mr. Blazingstone's personal emblem (or company logo), then when the metal heats up, the holder of the card will literally get branded. |
|

//Contact ignition so you just hand the card to
somebody.// |
|
| |
"Please allow me to introduce myself..." |
|
| |
"Oh wow! Ok Mr...uh... Luis.. Syphere... go ahead
and have a seat, the President will be out to see you
in a minute." |
|
| |
Identifies the person responsible for the wallet fires. |
|
| |
Time delay ... as you hand over the card, peel off a tiny sticker,
allowing air into the delay train ... victim puts card in pocket or wallet
... couple of minutes later, watch the fun ... |
|
| |
You know, there's a milder version of this that could
be really cool. |
|
| |
You hand the white, blank business card to the
person, squeeze the detonator and it sets off a
burning line of pyro material that spells out the
message on the card, like a burning fuse. |
|
| |
It would be your name, message and company info
animated in fire with the added benefit that they'd
read along as each word spelled itself out. You'd
obviously have to hold it for them to read since
people tend to drop objects that burst into
flames. When it goes out you hand them the card
with
your info neatly burned into it for later reference. I
can't think of a business other than perhaps
retirement homes or babysitting services that
wouldn't benefit from this impression leaving business
card. |
|
| |
Let me see if I can find an example. |
|
| |
Exactly what I would have expected from anyone working on the IMF Team. |
|
| |
Am I allowed to switch allegiance from those Nanny-Staters who favour asbestos corners, to the side in favor of branding the recipient surreptitiously? I'm now convinced that it would be for the best of all concerned if the card provided valuable small 3rd degree burns for a good cause. |
|
| |
[++] Maybe even a scented version with choices like
"Napalm, Rosemary, Mequite, Peppermint, etc" |
