Fun / easy envelope prank.

Step 4Spin it up

spin it up
Spin the paper clip around and around on the rubber band. Do this until it feels fairly tight. The more spins the better the effect will be. (Be careful not to let go once its wound up because it will spin very fast and can hurt... )

Place the whole contraption inside the envelope while preventing it from unwinding and seal it up. The sides of the envelope should keep it from unwinding. If not take it out and make necessary adjustments.

When the victim opens the envelope the rubber band will unwind rapidly causing the paper clip to slap against the sides of the envelope. WHOA SCARY!

Thats it.. now label the envelope with your victims name and go about whatever method of delivery seems suitable...


enjoy!

A good way to use this prank is to make it up per the instructable, then lay it on the front of your desk and ignore it. When some one gets interested, just ignore them. Do your very best to not comment. They will eventually pick it up.
