Auto-Correct Shenanigans
If your friends or family members leave their smartphones unattended, seize the opportunity to mess with their auto-correct settings. Change commonly used words to something absurd and await their confusion when sending messages.
The “Broken” Remote Control
Materials:
- A piece of opaque tape

Place a drinking straw inside a clear plastic cup, and then fill the cup with water until it’s nearly full. Gently balance the cup on a table or desk, with the straw slightly hanging over the edge. When your victim attempts to pick up the cup by the straw, they’ll be in for a watery surprise.
“Broken” Soap
Materials:
