Electronics Tuition from an Evil Genius
(2 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
I’ve long believed that the best spy kit is the stuff that you make yourself. Most spy gadgets are electronics based, so gaining electronics knowledge is the key. This is why I think the 101 Spy Gadgets for the Evil Genius Book is such a good book, as the focus is on modifying existing technology to create a spy gadget. However, the 101 Spy Gadgets does offer a few circuits to build from scratch too. But we don’t have to stop with just spy gadgets!
If you’ve done very little electronics work, then you might need some help getting started. The Evil Genius book range are known for their quirky subject areas, appealing to the desire to create something weird and wacky (and often a little dangerous too!). I’ve included a range of books that focus on the electronics topics, and the 51 Hi-Tech Practical Jokes book is a classic example of this.
If you have a family member who’s a little creative in the electronics world, then they may appreciate one of these books as a gift for Christmas or a Birthday. Even if they don’t follow the instructions in the book exactly, they’ll certainly get some cool ideas.
Hmm, I fancy that Hi-Tech Practical Jokes book for myself! Where’s that credit card…
