Black Soap Joke

Trick black soap begins looking like an ordinary bar of soap. However, once it gets wet it turns black in color and the person washing his hands will never get their hands clean. The hands will just keep getting blacker and blacker. A trick bar of soap like this can be used to play a great practical joke.

Here is how it works:

1) Place the bar of trick black soap in the bathroom that your victims will be using before they come over to your house.


2)Replace any towels in the bathroom that you do not want to get ruined with some cheaper towels that you do not mind getting ruined.

3)When your victim comes over and needs to use the bathroom, direct them to the bathroom with the bar of trick black soap.

4)Go stand outside the bathroom door so you can hear the person's reaction when their hands begin to turn black. The other benefit of playing this prank is that you can find out whether the victim practices good hygeine after they use the bathroom. This prank is perfect for houseguests and also can be done to people you live with such as moms, dads, brothers, sisters, roommates, and more.

Classic Practical Jokes - Itching Powder

Itching Powder comes in a small package and is a substance which causes your victim's skin to itch terribly until it is washed off. The itching should subside once the powder is washed off and there should not be any long term affects.

Here is how it works:

1) Get your package of itching powder and select your victim.

2) Look for an opportunity to apply the powder. There are two approaches you can take:

(a) Sneak up on your victim and put the powder down their back in a surprise attack. Your victim will immediately know what happened and will wash the powder off immediately so the itching will not last long. The upside is the fun you will get seeing the immediate reaction and the hilarity that will ensue.

(b) Put the powder on the inside of a tee shirt, sock, or other clothing item that the victim will be wearing soon. This is the incognito method and will cause the victim to be confused as to why they have been itching the entire day. You can silently enjoy your victim's frustration throughout the day.

Itching powder is made from plant fibers that are irritants to the skin. It is harmless and inexpensive and can be found online or at most joke shops.

Classic Pranks: The Snipe Hunt

The snipe hunt is a terrific way to make a complete fool of your friends. It is a classic trick that has been played through the ages designed to make the victim go on a search for something that does not exist. The extreme version of the trick leaves the victim ditched and stranded alone in the woods looking for the fictional snipe. This trick was famously featured in an episode of "Cheers" called "The Heart is a Lonely Snipe Hunter". In this episode, Norm Peterson (George Wendt), Cliff Clavin (John Ratzenberger), and the other guys at the bar take an unsuspecting Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammar) snipe hunting and ditch him in the woods. You can do the same to your victim.

Here is how it works:

1) Begin to paint the picture by describing a snipe and how much fun it is to go snipe hunting. Have a few of your friends in on the gag and together pretend to reminisce about snipe hunts you have been on in the past.

2) Invite your victim to go on a snipe hunt and find a place out in the woods that will be good to go on the snipe hunt. Ideally, this place should be in the middle of nowhere but also close enough to a road or someplace where your victim will be able to get back to civilization. The idea is not to leave you victim out to die; the idea is to ditch them. Please keep that in mind.

3) Get a net.

4) On the way to the woods, explain to your victim how a snipe hunt works. Tell the victim that snipes like to hide in the bushes so some of you will need to go and scare them out and somebody will wait with a net to try and catch the snipes when they run out of the bushes. Suggest that your victim wait with the net as it is exhilarating to catch your first snipe.

5) When you get to the woods, give your victim the net and then the rest of the group should disappear into the trees in order to pretend to scare the snipes up. Once you have all disappeared, you should get back in the car and drive away, leaving the victim to figure things out for himself.

Whoopie Cushion - Classic Practical Joke

The whoopie cushion is a classic joke that can be hard to execute as the cushion tends to be a large and conspicuous prop. Here is how it works:

1)The whoopie cushion is a rubber bladder type advice that allows a prankster to blow air into it so it puffs up.

2)Place the inflated cushion on a seat where a victim will sit down.

3)Once the victim sits on the inflated whoopie cushion, the air will be forced out and it will make a loud embarrassing farting sound.

The whoopie cushion was invented in the 1940s.
