While we’re on the spider subject,

Have you ever seen the toilet paper spider prank? It’s also really simple to make, you simply use a black pen to draw the form of a spider on a piece of the paper and when someone rolls it out, they (most definitely) freak out.

Oh, there are so many ways to perform a prank using air horns! This is one of my favorite ones, it’s also one of the best pranks to get a camera and make a video of people’s reaction to it. Have you seen the one with the air horn on the end of the doorknob as well? I think the chair one is better, but that one can be fun too!
