- One good practical joke that I have experienced was shown to me by
- my roommates. All you need is three people, a blindfold, and a solid
- board for the victim to stand on. Blindfold the victim, and have him
- stand on the board. Have one person stand in front of him and let the
- victim rest his hands on the frontman's shoulders. Have the other two
- people prepare to pick the board up. The frontman should explain the
- activity to the victim as follows, "What we are going to do is pick
- this board up above our heads. When you cant reach my shoulders anymore,
- just let go and try to keep your balance by yourself. If you cant keep
- your balance, jump off." Then the two people should pick up the board
- and keep it about an inch off the ground. The frontman should slowly bend
- down to simulate a rise in altitude to the victim. When you are on the
- board it really feels like you are 6 feet in the air. When he finally
- lets go of the frontmans shoulders, start rocking the board a little
- bit saying that you cant hold on much longer. When he eventually jumps,
- he usually falls on his butt because he is anticipating a 6 foot jump
- instead of a 6 inch one.

- Try it, see if you like it. If you have any questions, write me. And
- if it worked for you, tell me how it went.
