I have a pair of Shure SE535 headphones that many musicians use as stage monitors and the clear shells look like what most security guys wear, I constantly get asked if I am working at events and easily move through the crowd, though I am in good shape also and look like I actually am working the event.

​

Get a pair of these blank Shure shells

​

Now get a Shure cable like this, these are worn over your ears and you clip the two cables together behind your neck

With your blank shells and the cable you will now be wearing something like this

​

Now walk like you own it and wear black, when moving through crowds just politely touch a shoulder or back and point towards the front of the stage or wherever you want to go, don't smile and don't say thanks just keep moving and look serious like you are trying to make it to a section of the crowd or venue, you'll be amazed and can thank me later ;-) If you are skinny and wearing a loose shirt or a rock shirt this probably won't work, having a bit of size and filling out a shirt will go a long way! Not being hammered is another good thing, you need to look serious!

​

I'm telling you how to do this on the cheap, real Shure SE535 aren't cheap but they have that *look* and as well custom molded ear protection work the same if you own them, loop them over your ears and clip the cord to the back of your Tshirt with a alligator clip like this and run the cord down inside your shirt so you basically look like undercover crowd security, trust me many events use security not wearing "Event staff" shirts and its more like enforcers with headseats rolling through the crowd, trust me many shows have them.

People assume its connected to a radio, trust me I get asked all the time for directions at events or other weird stuff, good luck!

never done anything like this myself, but i have some ideas to get around the hologram. works best if it's just 1 small hologram.

whether it's a hanging placard or a window sticker it's the same general idea. buy some holographic stickers and use an exacto knife or whatever you can to cut out a shape vaguely resembling the logo needed. the general shape is the important part, not the fine details.

now make it look like it's a piece of shit. peel back the hologram section of a window sticker and muck up your window where it would've been so it looks like the adhesive is crap, and obscures the hologram portion of the sticker.

if it's a placard they'll almost always have a thin plastic film over it that has the hologram. use a screen protector to imitate this. now do the same thing as the window sticker, and peel back the portion of the film that would be on the hologram, and be sure to get just enough dust and grime in the adhesive so it's murky.

be sure to borrow a friends so you can measure the sizes and proportions as closely as possible.

best of luck!

Honey, I want you to flaunt it! And you can only do that with the right support. Try this on for size!

OP here: so glad I found this sub! I love sharing this story and I actually included it (with some other stories from the linked blog) in my book. I've used the tactic many times since!

Read Other Minds by Peter Godfrey for more cool cephalopod insight, so cool.

If that's the movie, this is the book.

Worth pointing out as I haven't seen this book mentioned here so far.
Trust Me, I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator

I have been reading the book and the first edition is a little disjointed but still gets the point across.
