I am looking for a product that will code micro chips that can be
implanted in each of 52 cards in a deck or into other items that would
signal me from a short distance their nature. I would then want a
transmitter and receiver small enough to conceal. I am a magician.
Where can I find such a product? |

Could you give a rough idea of what you mean by "small enough to
conceal"? There are handheld devices that might do what you want, but
the size of the reader would be the key limitation.

There is a product sold by a magic company. I will copy some of the
description-this might help-The magician, while in another room,
instantly guesses what card has been picked and put into a box which
is then covered with a top making it impossible to look into. There is
a microchip in the card, read by a transmitter, which is under the
table on which the box sits. The signal is sent to the magicians
receiver which tells the name of the card picked.
What I am looking to do is have the ability to program chips, place
them in varios objects, such as cards, and read their identiy in
another room by way of a cocealed micro transmitter where the audience
member is and a receiver on my person.
Hope this helps. Magicman

It probably is a scanner type device. The transmitter is under the
table upon which the card resides. It then transmits to a reciever I
would hold in another room identifyiny the card which has been "read"
by the transmitter and sent to me. What I see in the ad is this-a
playing card box which on its bottom end has an electronic read out of
the card picked-I would be in posession of that box-the cards from
that box-having been coded in some way-perhaps as they do in store
tags-are with the spectator who puts one on the table under which is
the transmitter. Is this of any more help? Magicman

Yes-your last description sounds right. There would have to be a coder
of some sort to code each metal strip. Now, back to the
question-where, from whom, could I acquire the equipment to do this?

What is your budget here?
I have no clue what the prices are (haven't investigated), but Alien
Technology ( http://www.alientechnology.com/ ) just sold half a
billion RFID tags to Gillette - you might be able to find something
similar. If this looks to be workable, let me know and I'll see if I
can find a small-volume source for you.

I would be willing to pay up to $750 for the ability to program the
items put into playing cards,the transmitter and the receiver. See
what you can do. Thanks Magicman
