Safe Pranks: Everybody Has Fun and Nobody Gets Hurt
What separates a brilliant prank from a disastrous one? Timing, context, and knowing your audience. Devanie Angel, a former journalist with a mischievous streak, lays out the principles of responsible tomfoolery in this cheerful guide to getting a laugh without landing yourself in hot water at school, the office, or anywhere else that matters. The book casts a wide net. You'll find hundreds of ideas spanning everything from old-school gags to tech-savvy tricks suited to contemporary life. April Fool's Day gets its due attention, but the pranks here work year-round, and there's a solid section dedicated to school-based stunts, including the grand tradition of senior and college pranks. Phone pranks, car pranks, food pranks, and even a handful of gentle church-appropriate jokes all get a look-in. Beyond the ideas themselves, Angel includes a short history of pranking (surprisingly fascinating), a rundown of classic practical joke props, and step-by-step instructions for the legendary stapler-in-gelatin trick. It's both a reference book and a source of genuine amusement. Short on moralising, long on fun. A solid pick for anyone who likes to keep their friends on their toes. (A note from the author: her cats remain entirely unamused.)
