• The lottery prank

The lottery prank is a great prank to play on your friends and spouses. The first thing that you need to do is record the latest lottery draw on your T.V or D.V.D player. Next write down the winning numbers and then buy a ticket with these numbers on. When it comes round to the day of the next lottery draw play the pre-recorded tape instead of the live show. Gasp in surprise as your numbers are drawn one by one. Your friend or spouse will think that you have won big and you can keep the gag going for as long as you want.

• Wrong keys on the keyboard prank

This is a fairly classic but still one of the best funny pranks. This one works especially well in schools and offices. All you need to do is wait for your victim to leave their desk and then mix up the keys on their computer keyboard. It’s best if you pull this prank on someone who is not a very good or experienced typist as they are more likely to not realise too quickly. This won’t work so well on a laptop a keyboard as they keys are quite hard to remove and replace but you will have no problems with a desktop keyboard. Once you have done this simply sit and watch as your victim types up lots of unreadable nonsense!

• Paper statement

If you have a friend who is a bit of a know-it-all then this is great joke to play on them. All you need is a piece of paper and the co-operation of a couple of other friends. Get your piece of paper and on one side write “The statement on the other side of this paper is true”. On the other side write “The statement on the other side of this paper is false” and leave it where your know-it-all friend will find it. When you see them looking confused and turning it around over and over again all that is left to do is for yourself and your other friends to pretend that it is a super clever joke that they obviously don’t get. It will leave them scratching their heads and teach them a good lesson.
