what you do
THE SETUP
1 Ask an adult to help you cut out the bottom panel of the box. Make sure the sides look normal.
2 When your victim is not around, place the box right side up on a table or counter where your victim is used to finding packages that have just arrived in the mail. Open the top and fill the box just to the top with popcorn or packing peanuts.
3 Carefully tape the top of the box shut, so it looks like a new package that’s just arrived. The box should look completely normal.
PULL THE PRANK
1 Wait for your victim to walk in and see the box, or yell to him that he got a package in the mail.
2 When the person picks up the trick box, the popcorn or packing peanuts will spill all over. This is a good time to exit, so you don’t have to clean up the mess. (Actually, you’ll probably end up pushing a broom, but it’s worth a try!)
