How to Sneak a Camera Into a Concert

You paid an arm and a leg for tickets to see your favorite band but the rules state, "No cameras allowed." You simply must get a shot of the band, one that no other tabloid has and the only way to do that is to conceal a camera. Fear not, you won't be the only one doing it. Read on to learn how to sneak a camera into a concert.

Instructions

1. Select a camera for size. Obviously, the larger the camera, the more difficult it will be to conceal. Fortunately, quality digital cameras come in wafer-thin sizes, making concealing them easier.

2. Make a false bottom in your purse by pulling the lining away from the bottom and cutting it shorter. Use Velcro to attach the shorter lining to the inside of your purse, making it look like the real bottom. Tuck your small camera in the bottom, put padding around it and secure the lining above. Put a few tampons in to thwart bouncers from examining the contents too closely.

3. Tape a thin camera to your body. Under your arm, just below your armpit, is a good choice since most shirts naturally bag in that area. Make sure to wear a loose-fitting shirt to keep the bulge hidden.

4. Strap a small camera to your thigh, in the groin area to thwart frisking bouncers. This is especially good for females, because most bouncers are careful to avoid accusations of inappropriate touching.

5. Wear western boots and tape the camera inside the boot itself. Often, you will be required to remove your shoes and if so, the safest place is inside the boot itself. You can slip off the boots and hold them upside down. Most bouncers aren't interested in sticking their hands in a sweaty boot.

6. Pull on a baggy sweatshirt with nothing underneath if you are a female. Tape the camera just above the small of your back and when the bouncer asks you to remove the sweatshirt, pull it up just a little bit in front to show bare skin. Alternately, tape the camera between your breasts if they are large enough to conceal a bulge.

7. Brush long thick hair over a thin camera, securely taped to the back of your neck. Bouncers rarely check concert attendees' necks when frisking. Make sure your hair is thick enough, however, to conceal the contraband.

8. Choose a camera you can afford to lose. If the bouncers do find it, they will seize it and you won't get it back. When snapping shots during the concert, turn off the flash if there is enough light to photograph the band without it. Otherwise, take a quick photo and quickly stash your camera back in the hiding place. Taking more than one shot at a time will alert security to your location.
