Money clip credit card ditches your fat wallet
As George Costanza can tell you, having a giant wallet can result in disaster, and it usually isn't of the hilarious nature that you find on sitcoms. No, a slim wallet makes for a happy ass, and your ass would love you if you picked up this Visa Money Clip. A brilliant combination of a money clip and a credit card, it allows you to carry around your plastic and a wad of cash without any extra bulk at all. While still a concept at the moment, this entry in a Visa design competition by Roger Arquer is so simple and would be such a cinch to make we can't imagine it not becoming a reality. And yeah, it might not be as slick as the C'ALL Future Phone, but it does have the benefit of being, you know, technologically possible to create rather than just a sweet Photoshop, so we give it a leg up.

There are many places to keep(Hide)your money...
"You The Traveler" just have to be creative...
Just keep a 20-dollar bill or two easily at hand if you get confronted by "Forces that are beyond your control"...
Best place is to leave most where nor one will ever get at it...

Are you kidding me??
It's the worst idea ever. I as well as 15 cashiers swipe my card about 35 times a day, who in their right mind will grab it with their finger tips at the edge and corner to swipe it (HARD and agressively sometimes) into worn out card readers at supermarkets and such? Even if its made of stiff titanium to prevent flimsy flexing, you still have to hire a 4 yr old Thai girl to swipe it with her dexterity and patience. Piece of crap design.
Which is funny... when the candle thing was blogged a few days ago, I checked out his site, this credit card concepts link was the funniest. I didn't rant before dismissing it as Pluto sky high student concepts. But two clogger spots in a week? (how much did he pay his uncle who runs Core?)
The cut out signature template? Are you on drugs? First of all not all signatures are one continuous contour line drawing. Most of the time I scribble chicken scratch to get out of the store/attendent's face ASAP. Who is gonna stand there following a cut out path of the signature?
Even if I was the one on crack here, the idea of the signature is for security purposes!!!! Any emu with arthritis can forge my signature by following a template??? That's like mounting a molded skin of your fingerprint to hover on top of a fingerprint scanner so anyone can just push it down with a no.2 pencil eraser tip.
I need drugs.
