Pranks with Eggs

Eggs Fly Out of the Fridge

This practical joke causes multiple eggs to shoot out of the refrigerator when the refrigerator door is opened causing the eggs to break on the floor and surprising the victim. This prank involves several eggs, string, toothpicks, duct tape, and/or any other materials that you use to rig it up. The key is to create some "egg holders" out of the materials which will be tied to the refrigerator door and will pull the eggs off of the shelf and onto the floor.

Here is how it works:

1) First you have to create the egg holders. Again, this is what will pull the eggs off of the shelf. You can use the toothpicks to provide the structure for the egg holder and the duct tape will provide the backing that will push the eggs off. You then tie two pieces of string to the sides of each of the egg holders. These strings will be tied to the inside of the refrigerator door and the strings should be long enough to allow the refrigerator door to be opened slightly (so you can set the trap) but short enough so that when the door is opened fully, the eggs will be pulled off of the shelf.

2) Once your egg holders are complete, you are ready to play the trick. Attach the strings to the inside of the refrigerator doors and place the raw eggs on the shelves with the egg holders behind the eggs on the shelf. Again, it needs to be set up so that when the door is opened, the egg holders will pull the eggs off of the shelf.

3) It is a good idea to make vary the lengths of the strings so that the eggs come out one after another in a rat-a-tat machine gun fashion. This makes for the best effect.

4) Another good touch is to leave a taunting note inside of the refrigerator that the victim will see once the eggs have crashed to the floor.
