Top 5 pranks to play on the street

 1. The umbrella in the Eye

The trick behind this is to go behind someone holding an unfolded umbrella. Using one finger, apply gentle pressure to one of the metal sticks which give the umbrella its shape.

Then, quickly move your hand onto your eye, and cry out in pain. The person would feel the pressure, turn around and see you holding your eye, thinking they have just poked you in the eye!

Tips: Shout and scream for best effects, but don’t go over the top.

Warnings: Do not reveal it was a prank, or it might bring out the worst in people. Simply say “Ow that really hurt! (Look at watch/wrist) Oh no, now I’m late," and run off.

2. The Hypnosis.

Get together five people. Before the prank, choose someone to be a hypnotist and the other four to be four “contestants”.

Go to a public area and “randomly” pick four contestants (your friends) and hypnotize them. Then, when everyone who is watching claps, run off. Make it seem realistic and get a big crowd watching. When the hypnotist leaves the four friends must still act hypnotized and don’t react to the crowds.

After five minutes, snap out of the hypnotized state and walk towards a pre-arranged meeting place.

Tips: Shake off followers!

Warning: If done right, some people get angry.

3. The frozen land

This isn’t your everyday prank. But it is one of the coolest. You need around 200 statue artist to enter a busy area with a clock. On a pre-arranged time, you must all simultaneously freeze for five minutes. The effect is some weird people.

Here’s what happens when pulled off right: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jwMj3PJDxuo

Tips: Don’t move. You may want to practice first. Choose an easy position.

Warning: Don’t block off areas or annoyed people may push.

4. The picture with a costume guy

Dress up in some Disney character photo and hold a sign saying “Have a photo taken with me free” make sure it’s on a full length pole and it reaches just above your head.

When unsuspecting people are about to take the picture (if they count its better).

Turn the sign around to reveal the back, which should have “Wanker” and an arrow pointing to where the person stands.

Tips: Get the person to stand on one side at all times so the arrow points to them. Also stand somewhere where people cannot get behind you.

Warnings: Incase anyone finds out and gets mad: RUN.

5. The phone glitch at work

Get a Skype account and slowly accumulate all you co-workers numbers. Make sure you are all in one room. Then, on Skype, make a conference call, and place all you co-workers numbers in it. All the phones will ring, and they won’t know who it is! Plus, when they pick up, they will hear each other!

This idea was found from http://www.maximumpc.com

Tips: Hide your computer so no-one sees. Look surprised. Best to do on April fools day.

Warning: Never give it away, until 183 days later, casually say, oh that was me.

And for a special treat if you’re rich enough or are on Balls of Steel create your own fake game shows like Alex Zane! http://youtube.com/watch?v=T6a1fQ_DySw

I mean seriosly, just to be able to have enternet access in my OWN room I still need to be able to do pranks, instead of being on the computer all day! Please give me a hand and not the prank with the ring buzzer thing, and give me a hint about one! I'm only about 9! That's right! Now please name at least one prank I can do at home! OK?
