I'm not sure if it's just me but if you get a can of coke and pull the tab off it becomes really hard to drink. Anon UK - Friday, June 20, 2008 at 06:15:50 (PDT) Here's some more. Take a foil wrapper from a stick of cinnamon gum and lick the white side (the side that the gum was touching, not the shiny side!) Once it's wet, stick it to your forehead and it'll create a slow burning feeling. Take a can of Coke and drink some of it so about half of it remains. With a little practice, you can tip the can and have it stay balanced between the bottom of the red label and the little silver edge on the bottom. This one requires two people. Have one person hold their hands out, palms up. The second person holds their hands palms down, above person one's hands, and person two slides his or her hands over person one's hands. Then person two slides his or her hands over the underside of person one's hands. Repeat this very quickly for a few minutes, then have person two pinch his or her fingers together on person one's palms and pull away slower, like pulling a string. Person one should feel a sensation like cobwebs being pulled from his or her skin. This one also requires two people. Both people put their hands together was if preparing to thumb wrestle, but with the thumbs pressed against each other vertically. Either person runs his or her thumb and index finger lengthwise down the two thumbs. His or her thumb should be touching one thumb, and index finger touching another thumb. Running index-and-thumb over both thumbs creates a feeling of numbness. John L. USA - Monday, June 09, 2008 at 17:30:26 (PDT) Take a hand mirror and hold it out in your arm, mirror side up. Look down at the mirror and angle it so all you see is your ceiling. Start walking around, pretending you're walking on the ceiling. Step over fans and doorways, but try not to run into things on your floor. Take two mirrors and hold them so the reflections face each other. Leave a small gap between them so you can look though. If you close one eye and look into the gap, you can get lost in the reflections of reflections of reflections. It's like a small world you can explore and manipulate by changing the space between the mirrors. This is for the people with less-than-perfect vision. Pinch your index fingers and thumbs together on both your right and left hands. Hold your right index fingertip to your left index fingertip, and right thumb fingertip to left thumb fingertip. If you wink and look through the resulting diamond shaped hole, you should see everything sharp and clear. John L. USA - Monday, June 09, 2008 at 16:52:02 (PDT) ~Night Vision~ Make yourself an eyepatch out of cloth or any opaque object (your hand works too). Place it over one eye. Make sure that it is COMPLETELY BLACK in that eye for the greatest effect. Wear the eyepatch / cover your eye for as long as you can stand. If you're inside, go into a room with no windows and shut off all lights. If you're outside and it's dark, it's better :P. Take the eye patch off (take your hand off) and close the eye that WASN'T covered. You can see great in the dark now :D --Lasts as long as you're in the dark. Zatzke <thefalseaccount55@hotmail.com> Grand Rapids, MI USA - Tuesday, May 20, 2008 at 21:26:47 (PDT) Ok, this is my second post. Anyway, I have found 2 more cool things to try. 1) If you have a tuning fork, put on some glasses, strike the fork, and lightly hold it against a side of the glasses(one of the leg things of the glasses). It will make your ear feel weird and you will hear a strange sound. 2) Rub your shirt up and down on your nose. Like put your fingers under your shirt and press the shirt against your noes and rub up and down. Do it for like 10 seconds and then stop touching your nose. It will feel all weird! Ryan USA - Saturday, May 10, 2008 at 08:09:58 (PDT) 2 Things, 1. a little obvious but still hilarious to watch, hide in a bin/other box with a lid, until someone opens it, then jump out! 2. if you have a laser pointer, point it at the floor near a dog, it might not work but my dog goes insane trying to cantch the tiny red dot... Connor <connorthemaster@gmail.com> England - Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 11:26:31 (PDT) First, buy some clear lensed glasses (some shops sell reading glasses, they can give you a headache but this is worth it.), get a friend to draw something on BOTH lenses, it has to be almost exactly the same, but as if it had been turned slightly round, to the person with the glasses, it will look like a 3d floating object! Connor <connorthemaster@gmail.com> England - Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 11:11:26 (PDT) If you suddenly start feeling sad and bored of life style you currently have, or just feel like you are too poor because you saw a brand new car on road side which you feel in love with but can't afford, do this: Lie on the bed, make the room dark and close your eyes. Now think that you are going to die in few minutes. Hold your breath for few seconds so that you can get a feel of dying and then you will realize how good life is no matter how rich or poor you are.

If you use "DIET COKE" it works much better. But its more fun turning it into a bomb when your all drunk. Cause you can't run fast enough from it when you do it the normal way lol Take 1ply tissue & place 1 mentos in the middle. Gently push it into the open coke, but don't let it touch the coke. Add as many mentos as you can (usually 4). Put the lid back on as tight as you can... Shake it, then toss it as high as you can into the air. Make sure it will land on a hard surface like the street, or a huge rock!... Of it lands right there will be a coke explosion. If done wrong get your drunk buddy to pick it up & try again lol I'll let you know how it goes with the bomb & shooting it. I'm sure that'll be far more fun !! Jess <***kingrattus@gmail.com***> Mississauga, ON CANADA - Saturday, March 08, 2008 at 17:32:04 (PST) Try this: Sit down and drink some coke. Get some in your mouth, and then lay your head back so you are facing the ceiling. Open your mouth and try not to move your tongue. Coke foam will start to form in your mouth! Ryan Atlanat, GA USA - Sunday, March 02, 2008 at 10:27:17 (PST) Take a empty 2 liter bottle of anything place some rolled up aluminum foil and put it inside the bottle pour some toilet bowl cleaner in the bottle put the cap and and shake until u hear a hissing sound throw the bottle and there should be a fairly loud explosion. Tommy <mr.rogerrabbit@hotmail.com> USA - Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at 19:42:24 (PST) Got a LASER POINTER? Boil the kettle, when lots of steam is pouring out (you have to keep the kettle boiling), turn out the lights and CAREFULLY point the laser up just below the spout through the rising steam, it's FREAKY because it looks just like a thin stream of red liquid pouring UPWARDS and spreading on the roof! Mark Brisbane, QLD Australia - Saturday, September 09, 2006 at 08:22:46 (PDT) If you work with computer or electronic circuit boards you'll know most people don't like STATIC ELECTRICITY in the workplace because it wrecks stuff, so hide a little piece of BUBBLE WRAP in your left hand (assuming you are right handed), walk up to some expensive and delicate piece of gear, just as you touch it with your right hand, POP THE BUBBLE WRAP to make a 'crack' sound and pull your hand back and say 'OUCH!' it sounds and looks like you just gave the gear a massive static zap... check the looks on your co-workers faces! Mark Brisbane, QLD Australia - Saturday, September 09, 2006 at 08:10:44 (PDT) get one of those sqaure batterys get some gas and a little paint brush like the paintbrush you use to paint a picture and dip the paintbrush in gas then coat the top of the battery with the gas then light it on fire and then get back you'll see what happens.....tell me was it awesome,cool,are just lame,cause i did it and man it was AWESOME. :} :] :{ :[ :| :\ :/ :> :< :+ Dedric Alexander <drichard@awesomenet.net> Brooksshire, Texas USA - Sunday, August 27, 2006 at 10:11:53 (PDT) Okay, get a regular 60-watt round lightbulb. stick the end (the one thats means to go in the socket) into a small cup of water. the cup has to be small enough to keep the lightbulb from slipping in and there has to be enough water to completely cover the end. Put it in a microwave. It will flash bright purple, bright blue, then several other colours. Then explode. Donald Bowins <fueled_by_caffeine@hotmail.com 222> Sudbury, ON Canada - Tuesday, August 22, 2006 at 02:55:53 (PDT) Pluck out a hair from your head, and hold it vertically onto a flat computer monitor, being sure you are holding it over a white patch on the monitor. Now, holding the top of the hair still, slowly move the bottom of the hair side ot side a little - you see all the differetn colours? eh? do ya?! Jack Thompson USA - Wednesday, August 09, 2006 at 08:48:01 (PDT) This isn't necessarily a trick, but it's cool. you need yourself and someone else. make them turn their head either left or right, keeping their eyes wide and just tell them to look straight and slowly turn their head like they're saying "no" their eyes should do like a computer scanning thing where they keep pausing and going again, even though they think it's smooth. now you do it to them and watch them get freaked out. then you start feeling like your not human anymore and instead robots, and other people around you will give you weird looks. Enjoy! Renea Kitten Hicksville, OH USA - Monday, August 07, 2006 at 13:57:56 (PDT) The journey starts with a step Smoothly and rapidly walk down stairs while skipping alternate steps. (It requires some practice alone, but it's not that hard.) I started doing this in grade school where the "hall monitors" would call the teacher if they caught any kids skipping steps while going upstairs. So I started skipping steps going down. This confused them, and they had no rule to cover it. billb <billb@eskimo.com> USA - Tuesday, June 27, 2006 at 20:35:01 (PDT) i don't know if this is one here or not...but get a 2 liter bottle of coke and a tube of mint mentos (htey must be the mint kind)...go to a big parking lot or your driveway. Open the pack of mentos, drop it in the soda and back away...it shoots like 20 feet in the air because the menthol in the mentos releases all the CO2 in the soda at once Matt....anonymous <i don't have one right now> USA - Friday, April 28, 2006 at 08:36:00 (PDT) Chew a piece of Big Red gum in your mouth for about 3 minutes. Then take a sip of coke and keep it in your mouth. It should sting quite a bit! Sam <s-l-o-t-h-m-o-s-s-@-h-o-t-m-a-i-l-.-c-o-m> Melbourne, Victoria Australia - Friday, April 28, 2006 at 01:10:02 (PDT) Use liquid nitragen and freeze your hand then hit it with a hammer. Your hand should shatter in a thousand pieces Dumbo <someone@yahoo.com> Orlando, Florda USA - Thursday, April 27, 2006 at 15:30:21 (PDT) Move your foot clockwise in the air while trying to draw out a six with your finger (Use the same side) Notice your foot will change directions are you are making the loop of the 6. Amanda <*-*joshsbaby_4e*-*@yahoo.com> Jellico, TN USA - Thursday, April 06, 2006 at 22:42:53 (PDT) Some pyro stuff: TORCH Wrap some newspaper into a rod about 1' 8" long. Cut a 1" slit in each end. Take some string, tie a knot in one end, put the knotted end into one of the slits. Then wind the string down the rod with a 1" spacing until you reach the bottom slit. Tie a knot in the bottom of the string, and put it in the slit. You now have your handle. Next, fold a pair of pages lengthwise so you have a strip about 6" wide. Wrap this around the top of your handle. Cut a 1.5" slit in the top of the head, but don't cut into the top of the handle. Take about 4' string, tie a knot in the end, put the knot in the slit and wrap with no spacing until you get to 1" above the bottom of the head. Wrap it up and down the head until the string just reaches your original slit. Tie a knot in the string and put it in the slit. Then take a 1" wide strip of newspaper and put the end in the slit. Wrap it down and back up and put the end in the slit. You now have a torch. The extra wrap of paper over the string is to help it light. If you have a roll of candle wick, use that on the head (but not on the handle). Before you use it, use a spray bottle to spray the handle just below the head. FLAT CANDLES Take some newspaper, about 4-6 sheets, and pour some molten wax on it. While the wax is still hot, light the edges of the paper. or Cut out some 4-6 thick circles. Fold the edges up a bit. Pour wax on them and light the edges. Ian Oliver <oliverian(at)mac.com> Calgary, AB Canada - Sunday, April 02, 2006 at 11:05:25 (PDT) Curl your index finger down so that there is a tiny hole in the center. Then look through this hole at this page and move your eye and hand around. You will see the text at the edge of your view warp.

And don't forget the COW'S milk icecream. Order some scrambled BIRDS eggs. Hamburgers and burritos made from DEAD cows, pig bacon, etc. Be the outsider who subtly suggests that a trout egg omlet with raccoon sausages might appear if their order at Denny's wasn't clear enough. Or dogs' eggs! Mmmmmmm, doggggg's eggssss. W. Beaty seattle, USA - Thursday, March 30, 2006 at 18:56:54 (PST) I did this one at boarding school and got in a little trouble (it was a very strange place). Put a (peeled) hard-boiled egg in a microwave for a minute or two, and it'll explode, blowing the door open and sending small slivers of egg white all over the place. I just wanted a warm egg! poopface USA - Monday, March 27, 2006 at 02:58:58 (PST) This is very simple: put a pencil on the palm of your hand, and make it so that when you throw it, it rolls from the palm all the way to the fingers and keeps spinning. It will make a whirring noise and will display some interesting aerodynamics. Zack <itree4 [WHERE?] hotmail [y'all know what to add here] com> Barongarook, Vic Australia - Thursday, March 23, 2006 at 01:52:31 (PST) have your lips barely touching eachother. Start humming in a continuous tone in your throat while keeping your lips together. You should feel a strong urge to scratch your nose. Skip Australia - Wednesday, March 22, 2006 at 19:12:24 (PST) hey this is kind of cool walk up to a pole and put both of your hands on it, now spin around the pole but you have to use your hands to spin around the pole, amazingly the pole is mounted into the ground,but it feels like the pole is spining to. :] Dedric Alexander <drichard@awesomenet.net > Brookshire, Texas USA - Saturday, March 18, 2006 at 18:20:23 (PST) If you're anything like me you're weak at doing burps. But fear no more, here are the instructions for doing the biggest burp ever! Lie down and swallow, make sure that the air you swallow gurgles down into your gut. Keep swallowing for about 5 minutes. Then, sit up slowly - you may feel a little queezy at this point or maybe like you will throw up - but you won't. Now just sit and wait. Your friends won't know when it's coming, not even you will know when it comes but all of a sudden BEOUUUURRRRP!!!! Another fun thing to get others to do: Use your canine teeth to gently bite down on your pinky fingernails for about 15 seconds. Now lock your pinky fingers like your doing a pinky swear with yourself and pull hard. Elocin Canberra, ACT Australia - Thursday, March 16, 2006 at 15:07:34 (PST) A personal favorite of mine for when travelling on a long train journey with a friend, who, ideally is equally as strange as you, is to invent an Eastern European language on the spot and hold lengthy conversations with them, while receiving confused looks from other passengers. Then, at the end of the journey, thank each of the cohabitants of your carriage personally in your best Oxford English for proving to be simply marvellous travelling companionis. Yes, I know it's neither big nor clever, but I'm still amused by it. Annonymous UK - Monday, March 06, 2006 at 12:48:36 (PST) My apologies if these are repeats: 1- Train Ride: Hop on a train and sit on the very back seat facing toward the back window. When the train starts moving, stare directly out the back window at the horizon point so that all the scenery is racing past, away from you. Do not look away. When the Train stops at the next stop it will look as though the scenery is now racing towards you. It's creepy. (Works best after a long, tiring day at work. 2- Falling Through the Floor: Takes Two people, the first lies stomach down on the floor with arms stretched above Thier head, their eyes must be closed at all times. The second one, while standing in front of the first persons hands, grabs their hands and pulls them upward, lifting their head, shoulders and torso off of the ground. Hold them lifted above the ground for a minute or two and then slowly lower them back down, It feels quite normal at first, until you actually feel like you are bending foward through the ground :O (ensure that the first person doesn't loosen their neck so that their head touches the ground or the affect will be lost) 3- Magnetic Pencils: Grab two pencils, one in each hand, and hold the two flat, unsharpened ends together. Push them together as hard as you can for 30 seconds or more. Try pulling them apart really slowly and it will feel as though they are being pulled together with magnets, or an elastic band. OR: grab one pencil, hold it at the tip and wriggle it from side to side. Behold! Magic rubber pencil. 4- Grab a piece of paper and right a message like hello there like this: LO HEL RE THE in bold capital letters, then cross your eyes to reveal the message. Hard to do sometimes, but highly entertaining. Do it with more complex messages or even pictures. 5- Grab a pole and Play a game of limbo with yourself, you get to make your very own theme music, and you always win ;D Have Fun Children *salutes* Dee Aus - Tuesday, February 28, 2006 at 09:12:52 (PST) This is really an old and stupid prank but it is fun to pull on someone. Get an empty bottle of dishwashing liquid, preferably a white bottle that had white liquid in it. Make sure it is completely washed out an dry inside. Now, take 2 feet of white kite string and thread it through the hole in the cap. Tie a small knot at each end and push the string into the bottle. When you squeeze the bottle, the string pops out just like dishwashing liquid would. It really is shocking to squirt the string on unsuspecting people (especially in good clothes)while saying 'whoops' or 'oh my!' But be ready to run away, most people do want to hit you after they realize you did not wet them with soap. Reload by unscrewing the cap and pulling the string back in. jamie <susanlucy@aol.com> Phila, PA USA - Tuesday, February 14, 2006 at 16:26:43 (PST) Try to swollow really fast, two times in a row...you can't...also... go to (http://marshallbowling.com/java_cyberToys/psychedeliscope/psych.html) it is a euphoric color thing -me Anonymous USA - Friday, February 10, 2006 at 05:48:44 (PST) Enhanced Color Vision. Find a snowy TV channel (hard to do nowadays with cable) that still shows color. Watch at night with only a single end table or floor lamp on. Watch the snowy picture for about 10 to 20 minutes. Then turn the TV off and look around the room. The enhanced vision that results lasts for only a short while, but everything takes on an almost impossibly beautiful appearance. While watching the snowy TV image your brain turns up your visual acuity to compensate. Now, try to figure out why your vision isn't always as sharp as it was for those few minutes all the time. Joe <ryukurai@optonline.net.remove.me> Milford, CT USA - Thursday, February 09, 2006 at 18:10:58 (PST) A lot of Aussies have jars of the now defunct 1 and 2 cent coins. what do you do with them? you can sent them to the bank, but they're only going to be melted down anyway. It occured to me that it might be fun sending them to friends around the world, who would then secretly scatter them in public places. Though it would be better if the dumping day was set, so that suddenly all these coins would begin appearing quite suddenly in every country around the world. Peter Sims (Wolfie!) <no spam> Melbourne, Vic Australia - Wednesday, February 08, 2006 at 19:14:02 (PST) OK this is really cool. you will need two people to do this. have one person lean over as if they are picking up a golf ball. then, have them inhale as much as they can and then exhale as much as they can ten times. but make sure to do this slowly. then after you have completed the tenth breath. inhale greatly and stand up strait and stiff. have the other person then come up behind you and put you in a choke hold, but they dont squeeze tightly!! make sure not to kill this person. but apply enough pressure so you know that they will have a little bit of trouble breathing. Flexing when you have the person in the hold helps. then in about 5-10 seconds the person in the hold will faint...but make sure not to exhale when your in the choke hold or it will not work. hold your breath the whole time. so the person will faint and lay them on the ground; its funny because some people make noises and flail there arms and/or body around. very fun to film and show the person because they wont remember any of it!!!! Stephen <www.skeezer426@hotmail.com...> tampa, FL USA - Wednesday, February 08, 2006 at 06:46:04 (PST) 1. If you take a regular wooden ruler (it has to have the thin metal strip on one side) and rub it very fast on the bottom of your rubber soled shoe, for about 10 seconds and then put it on your skin, Incredible! It burns like hell! Burn your friends! 2. If you take an ordinary metal paperclip and bend it so it connects the + and - side of a AA battery and let it be for a while... Astounding, It burns like hell! Try leaving this on the plastic bumper of somebodie's car, They will wonder what left that ugly mark there and when they pick it up they will burn their hands! 3. Set your cellphone to the loudest setting and hide it in a public place. The next day start calling it like crazy. 4.Duck tape people's doors shut. Bliss. Earl the Trucker <shiverz13b@yahoo.com> Paris, TX USA - Monday, February 06, 2006 at 17:30:38 (PST) Mabey its just me but every timeIi look up at the stars (and I mean strait up) and unfocus my eyes the stars seem to spin I find it mildly amuseing.It looks very cool but I havent tried it in years,pleese tell me if its the same for everyone or am I just nuts, Crayola <XhXoXtXdXoXgX6X3X9X4X@XyXaXhXoXoX.XcXoXmX> VA USA - Saturday, February 04, 2006 at 19:35:54 (PST) A friend told me this one day when we both hand hangovers (it's especially good, then): While walking along a busy shopping street, imagine that you are not walking along the street, but are, in fact, pushing the earth along beneath your feet (like a man balancing on a giant beachball at a circus). There is a horizontal pole in front, for you to hang on to and you are carefully pushing the earth beneath your feet. When you have the effect going really well, stop suddenly. As the earth stops rolling everyone around you will fall over. Also: try running quickly into bars to catch a glass that has been knocked over. The ONE time in your life you are actually in the right place to catch a falling glass it will look REALLY impressive. Interlard <interlard@mac.com> New York, NY USA - Tuesday, January 31, 2006 at 21:41:25 (PST) read through this list untill you find 'spit yo-yo', surprize your cat with a showing. It will be mildly bewildred. sit in the front passanger seat of a car on a sunny day, close your eyes and get the driver to drive fast past a row of tall trees to get the 'strobe' effect. Especially good(in random situations) while having to listen to an over talkative driver on long trips in the countryside. daniel <danielcatttt@animail.nettttt> melbourne, vic australia - Tuesday, January 31, 2006 at 06:33:12 (PST) Put a neon light bulb (or tube) in the microwave oven (or in front of it) and turn it on. It will light up like it is connected to electricity. It might blow up, i was a kid when i was told sbout this. Blakut <blakut@gmail.KOM (like com)> Bucharest, - Sunday, January 29, 2006 at 13:56:51 (PST) Here are a few from back when I was young: Lay flat on your back, and have a friend stand on your head side and lean over, so you are both staring at eachother's faces, upside down. Now have them conceal their mouth and imagine that that's what their face looks like -- brows underneath their eyes and no mouth. Have them move their eyebrows randomly. Do the same for your friend. This should invoke a couple of giggles or laughs, which looks even funnier when you have no mouth and your brows are underneath your eyes. Sit, close your eyes tightly and press (not too lightly) on your eyelids with your hands in any way you want. After a couple seconds, you should start seeing all sorts of different patterns; something to do with the pressure on your retina, I believe. Have a friend do the same and talk to eachother about what you see on your astral journey. When looking at any seemingly random moving pattern with small enough grain size (such as the "snow" on your TV, or the pattern you see on a slightly lit object in the dark) you should be able to immediately pick out and see anything you're thinking of. Any steady stimulus on any of your senses should gradually decrease to the point where you can (and then to the point where you do) ignore it; this is due to the way both your senses and your brain works. Stare at a fixed point long enough, and the image will shift to complete darkness. The drilling upstairs should stop annoying you too, after a few hours. Touch all the fingertips on one of your hands to the corresponding one in the other. Now move your hands back and forth, tapping all your fingertips at once. (Try to tap the same part of your fingertip every time) Does it feel like there's glass in between your hands?

Put your thumbnails behind your upper teeth. Put your hands together covering your nose and hiding your thumbs. Gently flick your teeth with your thumbnails while wiggling your nose back and forth with your hands. It will look and sound like you're popping your nose. :-) Zee's Heart <zeesheart @ yahoo. com> NM USA - Saturday, January 21, 2006 at 20:34:47 (PST) •1) place your hand flat on a table/ floor or whatever. then bend your middle finger so it is underneath your hand, push down fairly hard. now try and lift your 3rd finger up. •2) make a humming noise and use your index and middle finger to tap the side of you voice box. you can make really good tunes, even add some Human Beatbox if you want. •3) cup your hands together as if you were shaking someones hand and grip really tight. Put your thumbs together but make a small gap inbetween them, like an oval shape. Now put your lips over the gap and blow, you should make an owl like whistle. This takes a lot of practice to master. Billy Huddersfield, UK - Saturday, January 21, 2006 at 11:40:31 (PST) SEE YOURSELF IN YOUR EYEBALL!!! stand in front of a mirror and get so close that your nose touches and the glass. if you have glasses take them off you don't need them. if you stare after about 5 seconds you should see one eye and a reflection of your face. now try puttting your finger near your face when doing this you can also move your head to the left or right, but make sure that you keep looking at the mirror. this is really crazy!!! daniel hall <crazyboy04123456789@yahoo.com> mt. morris michigAN, MI USA - Thursday, January 19, 2006 at 21:14:49 (PST) If you want to feel like neo of the matrix than do this first you have to have a robe that goes down to your calves than put it on and tie it next go into your backyard and put both hands on the ground your right foot on the ground now swing your left leg over really fast and hit stuff works best if you know some karate dylan <caboverking@yoyoyo.net> moore, oklahoma USA - Monday, January 16, 2006 at 10:43:39 (PST) Remove the flint and spring from an empty disposable lighter. Wedge the flint into the end of the spring. Hold the flint end of the spring over a lighter flame till the flint glows red. Throw it hard at a ceiling or high on a wall, it will explode in a shower of sparks. Cut a small square of card into a right angled boomerang shape . place on a book with an arm of the boomerang overhaning the edge of the book. Hold the book on a slight angle and flick the end of the boomerang. With a bit of practice you have a returning minature boomerang Get two wood matches, place one on the palm of your hand, hold the other match between thumb and index and middle fingers. Pretend you are trying to build up a static charge in the match head by rubbing it on the side of of your hand or through your hair, then bring the head of the match close to the other match head at right angles. Then using your finger nail on your ring finger, flick the end of the match. this will cause the match on your palm to jump. For best effect let it fail a few times before the "charge builds up enough" Bevan Miller Wallace, Vic Australia - Tuesday, January 10, 2006 at 06:19:42 (PST) its a billy connelly idea....but... lie on yur side with one arm umderneath your body weight. lie like this for a good long time , till yur arm has no feeling. numbed. now. masturbate. its like someone else is there for ya! mark <auroralover2004@yahoo.co.uk> dundee, uk SCOTLAND - Monday, January 09, 2006 at 10:40:26 (PST) I saw this one day but i forget where, if you have a pack of the Mentos, then put it in a test tube, then pour them all in the 2 liter coke bottle at the same time and the coke will shoot straight up. dont be stupid and do it in the house though.

Joe Flood Chatham, Kent England - Tuesday, December 27, 2005 at 14:28:39 (PST) When I was nine or ten I was virtually obsessed with snakes, mostly because I was a weird little girl living in the highly Christianised suburbs, and this was Just Not Correct back in the day--I think snakes don't freak females out the way they once did, a fact I am all too happy about. I was half-autistic and I think the snake thing was rooted in a deep need to keep humans away from me or offend their mentality in some deep way I was too young to truly grok. ANYWAY, that is why I had a large collection of serpents, both real living ones, and toy rubber ones. These are a few of the little tricks I used to play on people involving snakes in the mid nineteen-seventies. NOTE: Since Dominionist Christianity has unfortunately come back in vogue in many US regions, perhaps they'll work again, particularly in Bible belt zones, but in California, people will probably just laugh and not run screaming. 1. THE RATTLESNAKE. Get a small aquarium air pump, or any other device which is fairly silent but vibrates - maybe even a...well, vibrator, would work - I used the aquarium pump since I kept fish as well as reptiles and had a bunch of the things sitting around. Then go to a toy store, or novelty shop, and find a rubber rattlesnake. Make sure it is one which is fairly realistic in appearance: the ones I used were cast from actual bodies of dead rattlers, and had the proper head shape and body proportions and didn't have that silly permanent forked-tongue-dangling from a closed mouth. (I always gave my rubber serpents "forked-tonguectomies" if their mouths weren't open because it made them look STUPID until I did this, nothing at all like snakes really look.) Halloween tends to bring out the rubber snakes in every shopping center imaginable so around October is your best time to find one. THE BEST kind are the ones with a WIRE inside them allowing you to twist them into a striking coil that looks very realistic. Once you find the right rubber rattler you'll need one more item and this will be the most hard to find: a GENUINE rattle from an actual rattlesnake. (In California, these were or possibly still are illegal - it had to do with ecology, and we all know the eco-laws have gone to hell in a handbasket.) I got mine from Indian curio shoppe in Nevada around Las Vegas where my folks went for their big-deal summer vacation every year and I would always manage to pick up as many of the rattles as I could find. Of course, you could go rattlesnake hunting and find your rattle that way, but unless you know what you're doing, DON'T. Paint the rubber rattler to look like a real diamondback, since chances are it will be carelessly painted by Chinese factory workers who never saw a rattlesnake in their lives. Attach the rattle to the tail end. Place your rattler on a cloth item like a beat-up jacket or tablecloth and underneath the cloth put the electric vibrating object. Attach the latter to a long extension cord, plugged into the house current, and place snake, cloth and pump (or massager, vibrator, whatever) onto your front porch, in your yard, or next to the car that those jerks seem to keep breaking into. Plug in the pump and you have what REALLY looks like a real live rattler. My folks, who weren't usually amused with my snake obsession, thought it was a fairly useful burglar deterrent. Intrepid minds might want to figure out a way to activate and deactivate the vibrational object so that it only starts rattling if someone's close to it. It will scare the crap out of them, especially if you live in a rattler-infested area. 2. THE OTHER RATTLESNAKE. This one will only work on kids and annoying old biddies who can't see well and who know nothing of snakes. Get a gopher snake, pine snake or hognose snake from a vivarium and a cage to keep it in. (Don't be an asshole and neglect taking proper care of the animal, incidentally. Feed it, clean up after it, it's not that much trouble.) These snakes have brown splotches resembling those of a rattler. You'll also need, as in the above, a real rattle from an actual rattler. Take some string and tie the rattle to the non-venomous snake's tail, and walk around with it where the person you want to annoy may be found. Just waving your pet around close enough ought to do the trick. Still, I got MUCH better results with the rubber snake. Go figure... 3. This one is silly--it's for psychedelic parties where everyone's stoned or tripping, or for kicks if you're a kid who like me just plain loved snakes. It's sort of an art piece. Get a LOT of rubber snakes of approximately the size of a garter snake, of the same variety - a toy store, novelty outlet, etc. will have them, or you can do as I did and just collect them for YEARS (I am now 40 and still buy every damn rubber snake I ever see anywhere.) Get two or three REAL garter snakes and a cage for them, and any other supplies required to maintain them (see #2 re: gopher snakes; garter snakes will be easier to feed since they'll eat goldfish which can be found anywhere.) Last thing you need: an ordinary black light, and some fluourescent WATER BASED paint. (A black light will be easy to find if you live in a place where there are still head shops - I wouldn't live anywhere that didn't, so San Francisco is the best place in the nation for this and so many other things; it used to be you could buy a black light at any mall, at Spencer Gifts, ah, those were the days...) Paint your hands with green fluorescent paint, or red if you prefer - the effect works best if you stick to one colour but it's not essential. Let the garter snakes slither through your hands while still wet with the paint. If it is nothing but water-based tempera it won't hurt them, but do NOT do this with acrylic or lacquer, it will harm the reptiles and that would be LAME.) Paint the rubber snake pile - the more, the merrier - in the same general way. Then, put the black light in the bathroom and all the snakes, real and irreal alike, into the bathtub. Turn off the regular lights and remove the lightbulbs. When all your stoned and tripping friends go to the bathroom to take a piss watch what happens. Even the non-consciousness-altered will see 100 writhing reptiles instead of two or three real snakes and a pile of rubber. Excellent for Halloween parties but best for any other time since THEN it won't be expected and thus even more fun.

Now lite it with a wooden match(those floppy ones don't burn long enough)a lighter works too but it might burn you if you lean it to the side.Let it burn for 7 seconds then blow it out. Make sure it has a steady stream of smoke and that there is no wind. now put the match/lighter in the smoke kinda far away and....BOOM the flame zooms back!(this may require a few tries) If you do this right you may question if you blew it out in the first place!

Then immedately close your eyes tight and cover them with the palms of your hands so it's really dark. You should be able to still "see" a fuzzy copy of the image you were looking at. It looks kinda like doomsday, and it's in stereo, so you think you're looking at something real. Also works to a lesser extent in dimly lit auditoriums, and with lamps, TV, etc. People may think you're crazy, but hey, they're missing the fun! If you keep holding your palms against your eye sockets, you'll soon see yellow rings and shadows of your optic nerves in the middle, that will stick around when you open your eyes. Rob <rmg2768@yahoodotcom> Boston, MA USA - Monday, December 19, 2005 at 11:09:03 (PST) A way I've found to really -really- freak people out is to make it look and sound like you're cracking your neck, back, or fingers. The way I do this is a little trick I learned with my tongue. If you pull air into your mouth correctly, and have enough muscle control on the side of your tongue, you can make a controllable "clicking" noise, high or low, loud or soft, fast or slow. I've never successfully taught anyone this trick, so you'll have to experiment until you can make the proper tone of "click". Now pair this with a convincing twist of the head, back, or fingers. If you're doing the fingers individually, make sure you only do about three clicks for maximum realism. If properly acted with a slightly pained look, and the obligitory "That felt GOOD!" afterwards, most normal people will become almost sick. Teeny-bopper girls will often scream or shout "Eeeeewww!" Good fun. On a side note, it also seems to feel almost as good as really popping your neck, if you can convice yourself that it's real. *crack!* Caligari.87 <if you want to e-mail me, add "@gmail.com" to the end of my name.> USA - Friday, December 16, 2005 at 00:40:51 (PST) See two different shades in each eye: Stare at anything for 60 seconds while covering one of your eyes. Now uncover that eye and open it. Quickly cover one eye, then the other, and compare the shading differences. In the eye you had covered for 60 seconds, everything should appear brighter than in your other eye. Anonymous USA - Saturday, December 10, 2005 at 06:31:08 (PST) want to be freaked out? next time u r in a bath, hold ur breath and go under, however when ur under there, imagine something real evil like scream or a clown over the bath with a nice big knife.

It will sound like audio feedback, and no-one can really tell where a steady tone is coming from so it'll freak them out while they fade down all the faders on the desk and the feedback sound is STILL going on! Great fun - I've "got" several sound professionals with this one! It works best if you're in a big, empty room. Try to hide the fact you're whistling, obviously! Mark Harmer Blockley, Glos UK - Tuesday, December 06, 2005 at 02:57:42 (PST) stand next to a wall and push your arm against the wall for 30 seconds at least then step away from the wall relaxing your arm after 2 or 3 seconds your arm will slowly rise. lukas <lukeskywalker181@hotmail.com> USA - Saturday, December 03, 2005 at 07:53:44 (PST) More fun with harmonics: Find a resonant frequency of the mattress on your bed and sing into it. If you can get a lower harmonic you can make the bed vibrate (and you don't even have to put in a quarter!) My wife hates this. May work for some sofas, it helps if they have springs.

That having been said, take one of those little candles in the aluminum foil, or just a small peice of a candle but TAKE THE WICK OUt Next take a jar lid from a glass jar and burn the plastic coating off. now build a small fire or do this on your stove, hold the jar lid with pliers, or anything to keep it away from your face. put the candle into the jar lid and "cook" it over the fire until gray smoke starts to billow from the wax, and it catches on fire although this is cool on its own, and you can throw the wax or dunk stuff in it, theres more take the aluminum container or some thing to hold a tiny amount of water in, and put about 10-20 drops of water in it (this is very little water btw), next pour the water onto the burning wax AWAY FROM YOUR FACE and watch it explode into a 5 foot tall column of flame. This is much less dangerous than it sounds, and ive done it like 40 times and was never hurt, my ethanol experiment was a whole other story though, NOTE: dont do this experiment in high wind, or if you have really bad judgement, and have fun :) Joe Pyro <shovel_thrower@hotmail.com4#$@%^!#> USA - Tuesday, November 29, 2005 at 03:32:37 (PST) Candle Mania Ok this is really cool, but I cant be held responsible if you burn your face off, so dont try it unless you are willing to face the consequences.

Proka Bucharest, ROMANIA - Monday, November 28, 2005 at 14:49:32 (PST) Before you try this, it is helpful to learn how to look around your surroundings without actually moving your eyes. (if you can do this move on :P) Stare at something small, and lock your eyes there. it's hard to explain, but... sort of imagine you have a second eye, and look around without moving your first eye. its weird, you almost forget about what eye #1 is looking at while 'using' eye #2!! Anywho.. I've tried this loads of times when i am really bored. Find a very small spot, that you can just barely see (can smetimes depend- try different spots!); say a piece of black dust on the skirting board or carpet of a room. Relax, and stare at it for a long time. Soon, your surroundings will start to go a bit weird! WARNING: This may strain your eyes. Make syre you try this in decent light, if not it will indeed strain your eyes :) Beanie England - Sunday, November 27, 2005 at 07:32:27 (PST) dis is vetty vetty kewl put your hands together so everything touches and your fingers should automaticly spread out. now hold your hands in front of yu so your fingers are spread and pointing to the cieling where youre index fingernail is about next too your chin about tree inches avay. now pretend zat yourrists are pivots and slap all your fingers against your chin so they collapse and make a really keeeeewwwwlllll sound shelby <scates_80@hotmail.com> helena, AL USA - Thursday, November 24, 2005 at 18:02:59 (PST) Even better than deliberately talking with an impediment, try using a (good) foreign accent instead. Even better, turn it on and off, or "parallel" your accent to a foreigner next to you in the bar. I usually use a Crocodile Dundee accent for this, but occasionally use Canadian just for a change-up. Regional accents work too. A game I used to do was when someone would ask where I'm from, I let them guess way off course. This worked as a Chicagoan with a controllable Alabama accent real good.

Kind of a diminished 9 volt battery effect. (The paper clip has to be a different type of metal from the archwire, so you might have to try several.Try staples too.) Cut a grape in half but leave a tiny strip of skin connecting them. Put the halves on a plate laid out flat sides down. Nuke them in the microwave, but be ready to turn it off. A huge spark will leap up right between the sides. Ann O'Nymous USA - Saturday, October 15, 2005 at 13:51:58 (PDT) This is my favorite form of entertainment when travelling by train. Look at the neighboring railroad tracks, and focus on one of the rails. Keep looking at one point, until the rail doesn't seem to be moving anymore. Now slowly move your eye backwards or forwards along the rail, and imagine the rail moving with it. After a while you can move the rail back and forth at will, purely with the power of your mind! Maarten Utrecht, netherlands - Friday, October 14, 2005 at 08:34:21 (PDT) Take some time out on a sunny day. Get a metal spoon, one that is clean and shiny. Go outside or near a window where the sun is shining in. Hold the spoon low, with the dome or back of the spoon pointing up, and make sure you can see the reflection of the sun off of it. Look down at the back of the spoon, and move the spoon around, side to side, etc. Notice the trails or "comet tails" left by the reflection of the sun as you move the spoon around, these will mostly dissipate, although if you close your eyes you can still see the trails left, they persist for a few moments. Thomas Kelley <nice@try.com> USA - Wednesday, October 12, 2005 at 12:23:08 (PDT) A trick to see the Fibanocci pattern of your own retina (or brain?): Sleep overnight in a very dark room (you may need to put a blanket over the window - most shades aren't good enough). In the morning while it's still dark in the room, turn on a bright light while your eyes are closed. This works better if you turn on the light almost immediately upon awaking, and try to open your eyes as little as possible before you do so. The (almost painful) brightness behind your eyelids will, for a fraction of a second, appear in a Fibanocci pattern just like a sunflower. I assume this is the result of retinal light-sensors delivering "raw" information to the brain. Since the optical part of the brain is pretty calm (I use the analogy of a still pond where the ripples have all died down), it 'sees' the pattern of light just as the retina receives it. OR the brain itself forms this pattern after the light is delivered.

The trick: How tnock down a metal lamppost with one hand in seconds? You can do it with a lamppost, but it can be dangerous, as they are rather heavy. Push/thwack the lamppost so, that you see little movement at the top. Now, you must find the right rythm to increace the amplitude of the effect. So, you must start with a fast wiggle, and every wiggle should amplify the resonance. When the amplitude increaces, the frequency ascends. If you get it right, in a ten or so seconds you'll have the top swinging in an amplitude of meters! Just keep swinging the pole, and the metal will break! Be careful not get it falling on yourself (or anyone else for that matter). The most important thing to accomplish this trick is to learn to find the right "frequency" first, and not to make a wave that would cancel the previous ones. The beginning is the hardest, but it gets a lot easier in the end! This principle is based on harmonic oscillation, and the principle can be applied to just about anything, where resonance is found. For instance, try the trick with a basketball in a center of a pool. You can make a 6 foot tidal wave with harmonic waves, and get half of the water from the pool away!

Mark <markboo @ yahoo . com> Central Coast, NSW Australia - Wednesday, August 31, 2005 at 00:26:12 (PDT) Haven't read the entire site so maybe this is in there. With a friend stand very close together facing each other. Your faces should be less than 2-4 inches apart. On the count of three, scream into each others faces as loud as you possibly can. You'll hear some amazing noises which I suspect must be the audible interference patterns of the sound waves reinforcing and cancelling. Kevin Canada - Monday, August 29, 2005 at 16:20:41 (PDT) Most everyone knows how to make music with their mouths by clapping (if you don't, follow these instructions - cup your hands slightly and put them together. A triangular hole should be formed above your thumbtips. Now clap the hands and you should feel air being forced through that hole at the moment of impact. Make a face like a monkey saying "OO!" and direct the blast of air into your mouth. After a while you should get a clear, hollow noise. Moving your tongue - like when you whistle - will give different notes. If you're still having trouble, ask your friends, one of them will probably know the trick) So, now you can do that, here's a trickier thing - try opening your throat out, like you were yawning, but keeping your mouth in the "OO!" shape. You should get a much deeper and hollower note. That takes a little practice. Once you get good at it, try using it for other things - like when you click with your tongue. My absolute favourite use for this is to create a human flanger, as follows. Get a fairly decent mobile phone (or something else that generates noise - phones with polyphonic ringtones made of deep notes and high percussion work the best I've found). Open your mouth and point the speaker in then do the yawning throat jibby - you should hear the sound change noticeably. From there, it's just move your mouth and throat mechanics around any which way. Anything that makes the sound change is a good thing...

I pulled off my coat because I figured out it was preventing me from bending my hand close enough. Nope, my chin got in the way this time. I tried it from all possible angles for about 5 minutes until I finally managed to bite it. Then I said it to my classmates and they all started trying it. Teacher was pretty freaked out when she came into class... By the way your foot is just as long as your forearm, try it.

HOWEVER, coffee, or rather the caffine in coffee, will effectively DOUBLE the strength and absorption of painkillers such as asprin or ibproufin. So, for a surefire hangover destroyer, chase those pills with a strong cup (or pot) of coffee. -JG John Gonzales <Pipboy2077@yahoo.com 1> Santa Fe, NM, You-Ess-Ay! - Monday, August 15, 2005 at 23:53:21 (PDT) Old bartender's trick: to lessen foam in some drinks dab the outer part of your nose or your forehead with your finger and touch it to the foam. The grease will cause a chain reaction in the tiny bubbles, quickly popping the ones you touch and spreading out rapidly amongst the others. This trick works especially well with carbonated soft drinks like coke, root beer sprite, dr pepper, pepsi and the like. It works with lager/ale (i.e. standard beer) to a limited degree. -JG John Gonzales <Pipboy2077@yahoo.com 1> Santa Fe, NM You-Ess-Ay! - Monday, August 15, 2005 at 23:44:29 (PDT) dont go to the bathroom for a while, then when u have to piss realy bad, go, but while u piss relax, and after ur done, just stand there, and relax, even when ur done, just feel how good it feels to not hold it in, its like a half orgasim. haha Sal <spotthedog> tampa, florida USA - Monday, August 15, 2005 at 08:51:02 (PDT) yeah, another 9-volt batterie trick. This time, stick your tounge waaay out. Now put the battery in the very middle of your tounge, and your tounge will start to wiggle involuntarily.

Eating chocolate or other sweet helps. The thick stuff gathers around where your tonsils are, so you need to "suck" it to your mouth from there. By closing your mouth and pumping the saliva down and up, a significant amount of "the stuff" can be gathered quite fast. Looking down at your feet, carefully pump just a little bit of the spit down, and suck it in really fast, before it is separated. One can learn to "pump" the spit really low and long. I could pick up a popcorn from the floor, while standing! Talk about a lizard effect!! And another one I discovered as a kid. Maby someone has as well. FreakFace: You need 2 mirrors for this. 1 on the wall, and find a decently sized square or round mirror you can handle easily. About 2ft in diameter is good. Open your mouth and place the mirror as far as you can (not the corner though) in your mouth. When you tilt your head down (chin to chest) facing the wall mirror, see the image in the mirror you are holding. Now stare it, and make your brain belive that your head is like that.. Doing this too long makes the corners of your mouths hurt a little.. But the most important thing is to remember not to bite the mirror, as glass is not fun in the mouth. This is pretty self-explanatory. Cell-Phone-Echo: You need 2 cellphones. Call to the other, and answer. Put the other in to your left, and the other to your right ear, and speak,, it's hard! Still, normally we don't have this delay,, or do we?? I remembered one more, but as I was unable to reproduce the effect, so the trick will remain unpublished for now:) NameniKin Finland - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 at 13:58:33 (PDT) "Blue 'eyes' are an optical illusion of some kind that I see when I look at a small, dim light such as an LED in darkness. I preseume it's my eyes trying to use whatever light they can get. One last oddity: I'll never forget the day I realized that a vague image I was used to seeing out of the corner of my eye was in fact my own eyeballs reflected on the inside of my glasses."

Especially inside of buildings, you may notice things you never noticed before; pipes, lights, ductwork and who knows what else. It seems not many people look up inside buildings, so hide a secret message on the ceiling where the few people who look up will notice it. Steeped or dar ceilings make things less noticeable so try to avoid putting your message on low ceilings where it will be immediatly noticed. Try making things out of paperclips, pen parts, rubber bands, and almost anything you can find in your immediate environment. You can make interesting mechanisms this way. Manion TX USA - Tuesday, July 26, 2005 at 08:53:31 (PDT) I was a teenage pyro. take a matchbook carefully tear off the striker pad and then peel the paper off the back of the striker then fold it lengthwise like so ^. now find a hard nonflammable surface and burn it. this really stinks but it will leave a gooey residue. scoop up as much as you can on your fingertip. now walk up to your victim rub your fingers together and say in your best evil voice ( Do I have a deal for you ) watch their face as smoke starts drifting up from your fingers. one guy I did this too still avoids me after twenty years LOL Papa Wrath Lancaster, OH USA - Wednesday, July 06, 2005 at 18:51:15 (PDT) Shake up a half emply soda bottle then breath out of it. You will start coughing but if you keep inhaling you'll go all dissy and feel great. Best to do this sitting down and w/ a friend so they can wake you up when you passout afterwards!

Lyna <rockoutloud21@yahoo.com> New York, NY USA - Tuesday, June 21, 2005 at 15:31:05 (PDT) Trick 1--Close your eyes not too tight or not too loose,close them like you are about to fall asleep (but don't sleep!) or this will not work.Then lightly put your fingers on your top eyelid while your eyes are still closed.Then let your finger on it get heavier and heavier while holding it there for about 10 to 15 seconds.Now let go.You should see blue before opening your eyes a little,then the image appears distorted.Look quickly though!DO IT WITH BOTH EYES OR IT WILL NOT WORK. Trick 2--Pretend you're throat is "closed".You know,the feeling you get before you swallow food.Now,put water in your mouth and start gargling while you're throat still feels "closed."Sounds like someone is drowning or something.Scary,huh? Trick 3--Lay down stomach-up on a bed,with your legs up,making a triangle from knees to waist.Start wiggling your toes at that position.Then at the same position,wiggle you're fingers while the toes,and now--QUICK!!--look back at you're toes.You're fingers almost stopped wiggling.Now do the same thing but look at you're fingers.Sam with the toes. Trick 4--While at the same position at Trick 3,wiggle just your toes then quickly drop your legs at the same position but keep wiggling them.For a second there-doesn't quite wiggle the same,now,does it?Helps if you did trick 3 for a while.
