The Art of the "Gelatin" Prank!

video The Art of the "Gelatin" Prank!

Maybe you've seen the episode of a popular show where a cell phone is encased in gelatin. Here is a less damaging variation of that prank and exactly how to pull it off. I recommend finding a "victim" that has a good sense of humor :)

It would be better if you left the ring out, so that you could hang it back up. As long as the dog doesn't eat the keys.

I saw it on The Office when Jim put Dwight's stapler in jello then back in his desk.

I guess it would work better in two steps, first a layer halfway your mold, then put in the item you want encased in gelatin and finally pour the second layer on top. That way you would have the item floating in the middle of the gelatin, making it harder to get out. Also, I guess it would work better if you encased it in a larger container.

Nice idea, but I have one suggestion. In the video you blinked some warning about not putting the remote in. I could barley read the warning, because it was blinking. I'd make it blink slower, or not blink at all. Other than that, good job!
