Hack an Old Book into a Secret Switch
This straight forward tutorial outlines how you can turn an old book into a secret switch–what the switch controls is only limited by your imagination.
The tutorial’s author, a renter, didn’t have the liberty to go punching holes in walls and turning his secret book switch into the trigger for a secret passage way. While his book switch simply turns on the lights in his wife’s office, you can easily adapt it to turn on/trigger anything you’ve got the skills to connect to the switch. Anyone have any suggestions for a good book to use for a party-mode trigger?
