Make a confetti trap

A confetti or glitter trap is a prank set-up which drops confetti or glitter on the victim from above. The cup of confetti over the door is a simple version of the same concept, but this method is much better. It can be set to go off on nearly any trigger (opening a drawer is a good one), anywhere with a drop ceiling. All you need is a little bit of thread, a funnel (which you can make out of a piece of paper), some glitter or confetti (three hole punches make an excellent and free source), and a mousetrap. A few plastic drinking straws can help too.

Step 1: Adjust a ceiling tile

Find a ceiling tile above where you expect the victim to be sitting. Get it out of the way. You could drill a hole in it, but there's no need for property destruction - nobody is ever going to notice if one of the tiles is a little bit cock-eyed. You'll also need access to the space on top of that tile, so slide the one next to it out of the way entirely.

Good one! I love mousetraps. I hadn't thought of using straws for guiding the string. thanks for the idea.
