Lift Fingerprints Like The Pros

Considering all the crime dramas that I watch on TV I think I would make a great crime scene investigator. Run a Q-tip on some blood, spray some cool looking mist on a carpet, insert a hair into a fancy machine, and way a gun around. Doesn’t sound so hard.

I suspect that I’m not actually equipped for the job. If you have ever wanted to try out some of your skills without spending all the money on expensive tools or kits then watch this video and give it a whirl.

The video will show you how the pro’s lift fingerprints. Here’s what you will need to see how murdered who.

  • Superglue
  • Lightbulb
  • Aluminum foil
  • Cardboard box
  • Clear Tape

Executing this experiment isn’t simple, but it yields professional quality results. If you’ve got a suspect item with fingerprints on it, gather the rest of your materials, follow the details in this video tutorial and get started on your investigation.
