Materials
 To start this prank all you need is a simple Egg, any will do really. and a hinged door. Last but not least you need a victim. 

Note- chose a victim that has a sense of humor, not someone who will never forgive you (i.e. Grumpy from Snow White)

Problem:
Even if you warn the victim, and have no intention of hurting their fingers, this sounds like an accident just waiting to happen.

Solution:
Instead asking them to put their fingers through the door (which anyone with any real intelligence won't do anyway), perhaps you could just stick the handle of a spoon through from the other side, ask them to hold the spoon by the handle, and then set the egg on it?
This way, the joke would have the same effect, you'd get more people to fall for it, and it would be a lot safer. (Especially if little kids are watching, who might try it on small friends later...)

In fact, you don't even need to mention the egg (secretly keep it in your pocket), and have ready some other "reason" to hold the spoon handle. (Maybe "Would you like to see me make a chicken appear on the spoon?") Then, the egg would be more of a surprise!

Remember, the best pranks are always the ones where nobody gets hurt.
The worst are the ones where someone does...

Peace!

Two variations:


1) If you would like to pull this prank to someone that you know already knows about the joke (they obviously wouldn't fall for it again), you can ask him to hold the spoon just long enough for you to take a picture for this Instructible.
Take the picture, then say "thanks!", and walk away, again...

A person fells even more stupid when they fall for the same joke twice!


2) If you want less of a mess, do it with a hard-boiled egg, but don't tell the victim.
It will be that much more funny, once they realise that they could have dropped the egg from the bottom hinge at any time! :)


Happy Easter!

Someone did this last year, but they added a picture of the egg in the door - I suppose you don't have the use of a camera?

make sure not to do this with a door that people like to keep closed, someone may walk by and break your victim's fingers (and/or thumb....try doing anything with a broken thumb)
