Using just a spoonful of flour and your supurb storytelling skills, you can completely freak out your friends. Tell them you were helping your mom bake cookies earlier, or you were doing a science experiment, and—cough cough—something went wrong.
BEWARE!
This prank may cause a mess. Be prepared to clean Up!
what you need
* A teaspoon of flour
what you do
THE SETUP
1 Practice this prank alone before you try it on your victim. Place the spoonful of flour in the palm of one hand. Make a loose fist with that hand, the way you do when you cough. It’s important not to squeeze your fist too tightly. And remember not to breathe in the flour when you lift your fist to your mouth!
2 Now try coughing into your fist. Your cough should force the flour out of the opening at the other end of your fist where your pinkie is. You’ll need to try tightening or loosening your fist until you can make it work just right.
PULL THE PRANK
1 With flour in one hand, walk up to your victim and start a conversation. Hold your hand down by your side so it looks perfectly normal. In the middle of the conversation, when you have your victim’s full attention, bring your fist up to your mouth and start coughing. Your victim will be shocked to see you coughing up clouds of white stuff.
2 At this point, you have two choices: You can say absolutely nothing, and act like it’s perfectly normal to cough up white stuff. Or you can freak out, too. Say, “Man, that feels better! I was having trouble breathing. I had to clear my lungs.”
