Can anyone tell me or refer me to a website where i can learn to make plastic identity cards. I want to make some like credit card's with a magnetic strip and embossed characters on the front.

I forgot what the machine is called. But Retail stores use them. Geta job at a retail store and I believe you can strip magnetic tapes and replace them with programmed data. You know the Gift Cards or Refund Cards that walmart hands out to those who dont have receit so they are given store credit with Gift Cards. those machinese technically could program a Credit Card or even better then that a Debit Card if you know someones Pin number and can steal their Identity you could do well.

but of course you need to get a night job closing in a store and have much knowledge of being able to program.

I am going to move this to the "Bad Ideas" forum. I think the hellions there might be able to answer this.
