Simple yet hilarious! Prank & Trick Compilation (21–30)
Make edible erasers and eat them
You’d be surprised if someone suddenly started eating an eraser.
For this, you need to make an edible eraser in advance using gelatin and milk.
The process is a lot like making a dessert, so the preparation itself should be fun.
I’m excited to see how the target reacts!
I’m getting caught in the cellophane…
It’s a prank that was popular on social media.
You set up cellophane at the classroom entrance.
The setup is very simple, so you can do it at school or at home.
Make sure to take steps to prevent injuries—for example, don’t secure the cellophane too tightly—so that anyone who gets caught by it doesn’t get hurt.

Infinite Tissues
This is a prank where you connect all the tissues in a tissue box into one long strip.
All you need are a box of tissues and double-sided tape, so it’s simple, but the connecting work is pretty painstaking.
The prank itself is also quite low-key, but it’s absurd and funny.
Edible stationery
What would you do if a friend at school or work suddenly started eating the ballpoint pen they were using? You’d be left with just one word: shocking! This video introduces a project for making that kind of humorous prank gadget yourself.
Give it a secret try as soon as tomorrow!
Edible slime
Many people probably played with slime when they were kids.
This video shows how to make edible slime.
It’s very easy! Just melt some cheap jelly candy and let it set again until it’s about as firm as slime.
Take a sudden bite and surprise everyone around you.
Leave the warmed Oronamin C in an inconvenient spot.
I’m going to introduce a prank where you pick up a bottle that’s been placed in an annoying spot, only to find it’s insanely hot.
Just from the title, you can probably expect some funny reactions, right? The method is super simple: heat a bottled drink in a hot-water bath until it’s very hot, then place it somewhere that’s in the target’s way.
After that, call the target over, and if you can get them to touch the bottle, enjoy their surprised reaction.
There’s a high risk of burns, so do this at your own risk and don’t overdo it.
Groggy and all wrapped up after just waking
It’s a prank where you secretly wrap a sleeping person up tightly with string.
If someone did it to me, I’d probably panic like in the video.
It seems pretty hard to wrap them without waking them up.
You’d want to time it for when they’re in a deep sleep before attempting it.
