Pulling pranks or practical jokes can be a mildly amusing and (hopefully) harmless way to express a sense of humor. But thinking up a creative prank is one thing. Being able to successfully pull it off on your victim is another.
Instructions
Pulling it Off
1. Remember that the element of surprise is always key. If your victim knows it's coming, it won't work.
2. Choose the scenario of the prank. Decide if it should be in a public setting or just between the two of you.
3. Set up the prank and lure your victim into it. Remember that you want to be there when he falls for it.
Classic Pranks
4. Short sheet the bed by taking the top sheet off the victim's bed, tucking the bottom end under the top of the mattress and folding it back up to make it look like the bed was made normally. The joke is, when the victim gets into bed, he can't slide his feet all the way down to the bottom of the bed.
5. Put shaving cream in the victim's hand while asleep. Tickle him on the nose with a feather and watch him give himself a face full of foam.
6. Stand in one place looking straight up into the air. Wait for others to start looking up out of curiosity until you have a bunch of fools looking at nothing.
7. Glue a coin to the floor or ground in a busy place, and watch as people try to pick it up. Or, tape a dollar bill to the end of the fishing line, hide somewhere with the pole and reel in the line when someone tries to pick the dollar up.
8. ****y trap a person's door. Place a bucket of water on top, or tape newspaper across the door jam, and fill the gap between the newspaper and the door with water balloons.
