what you do
THE SETUP
1 Open the umbrella and turn it upside down so the tip is resting on the floor.
2 Put a few handfuls of the confetti or cereal inside. Then carefully close the umbrella and fasten it shut. Clean up any spilled confetti or cereal.
PULL THE PRANK
1 Put the umbrella back where you found it. The next time it rains, keep an eye out to see if your victim grabs the umbrella. If possible, follow your victim out the door so you can witness the effects of the rare weather pattern.
VERY IMPORTANT PRANKS
V.I.P
The Umbrella Fella
Brian G. Hughes was a wealthy New York banker famous for pulling practical jokes that poked fun at people who were greedy or who thought they were very important. One of Hughes’s favorite pranks was to leave expensive umbrellas in public places. When someone took one and opened it up, their little crime became public—a sign dropped down that said: “Stolen from Brian G. Hughes.” Hughes probably would have been happy to know that when he died in 1924, his obituary described him as a famous practical joker first and a banker second.
