the prank

If you have a friend who appreciates a good gross-out, try this variation of the Flower Shower prank. A squirting blister definitely beats a squirting flower on the disgustingness scale.

what you need

* A small balloon (about 2 inches across)

* Scissors

* Water

* A small bandage

what you do

THE SETUP

1 Follow steps 1–3 of the Flower Shower prank on page 65.

2 Place a small bandage on your palm. Then hold the water-filled part of the balloon gently with your right hand. (No one should be able to see the balloon, just your open palm and the bandage.)

PULL THE PRANK

1 Hold out your left hand with the bandage and say to your victim, “I have this really weird blister on my hand. Take a look, it’s right next to the bandage. It’s kind of hard to see.”

2 When they’re in good and close, squeeze the balloon and say something like, “Oh, man, I think it just popped. I hope it didn’t get in your eye!”

VERY IMPORTANT PRANKS

V.I.P.

A Sudden Shower

When Prince Markus Sittikus of Austria built Hellbrunn Palace in the 1600s, he created a palace of pranks. He hid sprayers in statues throughout the gardens. When his guests took a stroll around the grounds, they got drenched with water. A long stone dinner table set out in the garden was surrounded by ten stools: nine of them had secret water nozzles in their seats. The prince, of course, always took the dry one. Today the palace is a tourist attraction—and the sprayers still work. So if you end up visiting, bring an umbrella!
