[Shocking!] Prank Gadgets That Will Definitely Surprise You in a Prank (11–20)
prank bomb
Calling it a “bomb” sounds a bit alarming, but this prank bomb is a small, handy little… bomb.
It’s a small pouch-like item that, when pressed from above or struck, causes the contents to react and expand until the aluminum pouch pops with a “bang!” It’s a prank gadget.
But the contents are just sodium bicarbonate, so don’t worry—there’s no injury risk or major impact.
Still, it can really startle you if you don’t know what it is.
Since it’s a small pouch, it seems like you could use it in various ways, like slipping it into a shoe or tucking it under the cushion where your target will sit.
severed wrist
You wouldn’t normally imagine that the wrist of someone you’re casually chatting with would suddenly fall off, right? That’s why this is such a shocking prank item: a severed wrist.
If you look closely, you can tell it’s a prop, but if this suddenly flies at you or drops down, your mind will go blank, you’ll be startled, and you might even let out a weird scream.
Plus, you can see blood coloring at the cut, which is anything but calm.
It’s a prank item that sparks lots of ideas—hide it up a long sleeve and let it slip out, or quietly leave it somewhere to surprise people.
RC cockroach
Everyone’s least favorite, the cockroach.
Many people aren’t fond of insects to begin with, and even more so when it comes to cockroaches.
It’s a prank using this unpopular critter, but using a real one might be going too far—so how about a prank with an RC cockroach instead? That said, while a normal cockroach is only a few centimeters at most, this remote-controlled one is over 10 centimeters long, making quite an impact.
Its wings look realistic, and the movement of its legs is downright goosebump-inducing.
Some people really can’t handle them, so be careful not to make your target angry!
A cutter that looks like it cut a finger
A slightly cringe-inducing prank item: a utility knife that makes it look like you’ve sliced your finger.
We tend to be pretty careful when handling utility knives, right? Still, many of us have probably cut a finger at least once, to varying degrees.
Just remembering it gives you the chills… This prank delivers that shivery feeling, but in reality the middle of the blade is cut out in a shape that matches the curve of your finger—you just fit your finger into it.
Add a few drops of fake blood and it looks like you’ve made a deep cut in your finger.
nostalgic punch gum
Doesn’t this prank item make you nostalgic? It’s that item almost everyone knows: the punch gum.
When you try to pull out the stick of gum, there’s a tiny spring hidden in the back that snaps out, and it pinches the hand holding the gum—right around your thumbnail—with a sharp snap.
The gum itself is small, so of course the spring is small too, but when it flicks your nail right on the spot, it actually hurts a fair bit.
It’s small and easy to carry, you can pull the prank anytime, anywhere, and it’s a cute little gag, too.
Just like a real tongue
This prank item very realistically reproduces the tongue’s shape, color, and even texture.
When you hold it in your mouth and show it, it looks exactly like a real tongue! So, stick this fake tongue out of your mouth, then pretend to cut it with scissors or stab it with a needle to shock everyone! To make it harder to notice the trick, place your hand as if holding the tongue in place, and act like you’re in pain when you cut or poke it.
You’ll be able to startle people so much it might even scare them!
