[Prank] Surprise Ideas Recommended for School Culture Festivals (21–30)
Surprise guest live
You sometimes see them on TV variety or information shows, right? Those surprise guest performances.
It’s often someone with a connection to the place—like an alumnus of the school or someone from the local area.
Just imagining my favorite artist showing up as a surprise makes me want to cry (lol).
A celebrity coming as a surprise would definitely get everyone hyped!
Magic that breaks things without touching them
It’s a magic trick where you hold an object in one hand, and even though the other hand shouldn’t be touching it, the object breaks on cue.
Toothpicks are recommended because they’re easy to break.
You pre-break one and fit the pieces together so the seam isn’t noticeable, then use a flick to the end with your finger to make it break.
Be mindful to keep the movement of the hand that’s holding it to an absolute minimum so it isn’t obvious, and use the other hand in a way that conceals that action.
Since you’re using a small item like a toothpick, it’s best to perform this for a small audience.

A person carrying blocks that look obviously heavy loses their balance and topples them…? It’s a simple prank that can easily startle people nearby.
Make the blocks from materials like Styrofoam so they’re safe to carry and won’t cause harm if they’re dropped.
The key is to make them look as realistic as possible so the illusion isn’t ruined.
Create several and stack them to carry—the more you stack, the more suspenseful it feels.
Don’t forget to attach them all together so they won’t scatter if they fall! Then just carry the blocks near someone while pretending they’re heavy, and at the right moment, act like you’re about to drop them—you’ll give onlookers a good scare!
A prank where the bottom of a plastic bottle falls out
This is nasty! When you lift the plastic bottle, the contents spill out in blobs! Since you make a hole in the bottom, the initial setup seems a bit tricky.
It’s more of a small gag than a full act, but it’s an easy prank to pull off.
Be careful not to get your clothes and other items wet!
How many of the seven pranks will they fall for?!
Since it’s seven pranks in a row, you might find something you can use as a reference.
They’re all easy to pull off, and many are classics.
I think a lot of them will go over well with students, so if you’re stuck for prank ideas, give them a try! Some aren’t suitable for school settings, so be sure to prioritize safety.
A delinquent becomes a professional pianist
This is a prank that shocks people with the gap between a delinquent and the piano! Someone who looks totally like a tough delinquent suddenly sits at the piano and plays brilliantly.
Delinquents usually give off the impression that they’ve never touched a piano, so if one suddenly performs like a professional pianist, it’s a real surprise! One option is for someone who actually plays piano to dress up in a delinquent-style costume so no one recognizes them and perform on the day of the school festival.
Or someone who usually has a delinquent vibe could practice piano like crazy until the festival.
Either way, the audience will be amazed by the “This person?!” gap!
with a backpack stuffed full
Many students commute to school with backpacks, don’t they? It might be a bit mean, but something like this feels like it would end with a laugh! If you choose someone with a naturally lovable, airheaded vibe as the target, I’m sure the atmosphere will liven up—so keep that in mind.
