In this video, I’m sharing my firsthand experience from inside an exclusive, phone-free music event that almost left me stranded on a dark street late at night. Phone-free experiences are up 567% globally according to Eventbrite, but the tech behind these locking pouches can trigger unexpected glitches if you aren't prepared!
We dive into why top artists like Tyla, Alicia Keys, Bob Dylan, and Dave Chappelle require phone-free zones, and I do a deep dive into the technology behind magnetic locking Faraday pouches.

Whether you're attending a phone-free concert or preparing for school phone bans, these simple tips will keep you from getting locked out of your own device.
