April Fools Guide

April Fools Day is coming up in a couple of weeks.  Some of us will be planning some pranks to pull on friends or family, while others will be looking out for pranks pulled by friends or family. Either way, I found some ideas of April pranks online that could be easily performed, and compiled a list:

  • The Impossible Coin
If you're wanting to pull a classic trick to fool more than one person, try the public prank of gluing a coin to the ground. This trick will last for quite a while and get many reactions since the coin is stuck to the ground and doesn't require you to reset the prank over and over again!
  • The Fake Spider
For this trick, you probably won't be able to see the person's reaction. All you have to do is make sure that the toilet paper roll is facing the direction where the loose end is hanging over the roll. Then, draw a fake spider on a sheet about 2 before the first available sheet. Make sure that no one can see your drawing until they pull on the toilet paper. If you really want to see a reaction, just ask someone to get you some toilet paper and watch them as they unravel to see the fake spider!
  • The Wrong Time
While your victim is sleeping, change the time on their clock or phone 1 or 2 hours ahead (this will work better if that person needed to wake up at a certain time). Then, suddenly wake the person up telling them that they're 1 or 2 hours late! Not only will he or she be frantically rushing, but you will also get a good laugh just watching them run around trying to get ready as quickly as possible!
  • The Spray
This prank is simple, but it can also be easily unsuccessful. For this trick, just tie a rubber band on the kitchen sink sprayer and point it in the direction of where a person would stand to use the sink. Once they turn on the faucet, water would spray directly at them. However, this trick may not work if your target notices the rubber band since the band usually doesn't match the sink appliance.
I don't know if you would consider this a prank, but it would still get you a reaction. For this trick, cut out small pieces of paper or use paper hole-punched circles to place on the blades of a ceiling fan. Make sure that the fan will turn on when someone switches the light switch on! Also be sure to pull this prank later on in the day when a person would need to turn on the light so that the fan will also start spinning! When the fan starts spinning, the paper will fly off and sprinkle to the floor, just like confetti! This trick will either be seen as pleasantly surprising or straight-up annoying since someone will end up having to pick up each piece of paper or each paper circle!

So if you do plan on trying out any of these ideas or just plan on trying other pranks, I hope you get a priceless reaction out of it! And if you are on the other end and end up getting pranked on April Fools Day, get a laugh out of it. Spend a few seconds to smile and laugh it off and move on with your day. But be aware of other pranks! (If you try any tricks, keep in mind of the possible violent or negative reactions you might get! Be cautious and get a sense of what kind of person your pranking victim is!)
