Physical Pranks

These pranks are best done in person, and often involve a good deal of manual dexterity.

Examples:

1. The Fake Spider

Create a fake spider using a black marker and some string, then hang it in a corner of a room.

3. The Fake Parking Ticket

Print out a fake parking ticket and stick it on someone's car.

Hoax Callers

These pranks are best done over the phone, and often involve a good deal of creative writing.

Examples:

1. The Fake Tech Support

2. The Fake Pizza Delivery

Call someone and order a fake pizza, then have it delivered to their house by a fake "delivery guy" in a uniform.

3. The Fake Bank Call

Reverse Pranks

These pranks are best done on yourself, and often involve a good deal of self-deception.

Examples:

1. The Fake Wake-Up Call

Set your own alarm clock, then pretend to be a telemarketer when it goes off.
