Step 6But wait, there's more... Smacklights!!
Ever seen those kids' shoes with the little LED lights that light up each time the little nipper takes a step? Ever notice how kids outgrow their shoes all the time? Ever wonder what you could do with those little lights if they were liberated from the shoe? No?!? Well I did. But i don't have the pics yet of the liberation process. It should suffice to say, the lights are inside the shoe. You are outside the shoe. But YOU have TOOLS. Yay! So attack those little shoes...don't think about the eyeless child-eating monster from Pan's Labyrinth. Or do. It might help your sense of frantic urgency. or monsterlike superhuman strength. attack! remove electronic guts!
When you do, you will have yourself something like that in the photo. A sealed plastic unit, with some nice, flat LEDs sticking out of it, that light up every time you whack, smack, or drop the thing. cool huh?
So put this little piece of ex-viscerated shoe guts inside the wallet, tucked behind one of the card sleeves. the LEDs are flat, so they fit nicely if you jam them all the way to the end, where they stick out on either side of the rivets. Yeah, it adds to the thickness a wee bit, but hey, the price of cool, man.
So when you're getting down and funky in the club and drop yer wallet in the dark, a series of flashing lights will show you exactly where it hits. Also fun for just projecting flashing lights when you smack it against stuff, or people.

LOL. This is cool. Question though... since you're smacking it on the table to make them light up, and when on feet you have all of that weight on your side to make them light up, would it dropping to the floor actually be enough pressure to make the lights go off?

hehe could come back and bite your ass though, what if someone noticed because of the lights and then they stole it, when otherwise they might not notice it? But still good idea, especially for hitting people with
