If you hate someone badly (or want to prank them)
Buy the Shock O Gram. The innocent looking cover of the
card have a electrically conductive coating, and an electrical
circuit that outputs high voltage.
When you open the card, it will sent a bolt of electricity
though the card to the holder
of the card. Where the holder
then can read the message as to why you hate them.

The deluxe model could do this. [mouseposture, May 06 2010]

What [bigsleep] said. Regardless, won't work. People won't open the card once they notice the wires leading down to the car battery. |
|
| |
is it possible to induce a static shock in some way - not that I'm endorsing the product in any way at all... |

[marked-for-retention] Mildly cruel yet hilarious prank. |
|

No car battery would be needed. Just a lithium coin cell and some switching electronics. |

We need an admin to move this to Product:Prank or some such. |

[marked-for-awesome] Cruelty. [+] |

The shockogram should be an envelope with a window. Regular gift cards or even a piece of cash can be placed within and seen through the window The shock still ensues when the envelope is opened. The battery then powers a chip which plays raucous laughter until the envelope is tucked closed again. |
|
| |
But the gift card should be real, because you have to be cruel to be kind. |
|
| |
How is the circuit completed? |
|

[RayfordSteele] One contact in the card, the other in the
envelope. With any luck at all, you get one in each hand,
put a current across the left ventricle, and induce
fibrillations. The deluxe model is closed-loop: R-on-T or
your money back! |

This is well within the socially acceptable norms of existing pranks; hold the MFD. |
|
| |
Given the existence of other electroshock prank items, pens, and games, there is a market for this, and the production should be not much more difficult than that of audio-playing greeting cards. I'm surprised that it doesn't exist yet! |
