Submitted by Joshua Darrah January 19, 2012: Here’s a prank I pulled on my friends and family recently:
STEP 1: Secretly shave off your two year long hair.
STEP 2: Glue it into a wig.
STEP 3: pull it off to freak your friends. 40 of them.
I had been growing my hair for a couple of years, and wanted to go back to a shaved head, but I wanted to make it a surprise to my brother that i was suddenly shaving my head. I have NO IDEA where the idea came to me from, but i wondered if I would be able to cut off my long hair, keep it, then hot glue it into a wig. I would then wear that wig of my own hair (yes this is slightly serial killerish i know!) and while hanging with my brother, suddenly pull off my ‘hair’ and be shaved headed in a split second.
I told him I was filming a video project, that way I could film his reaction. And man it went down a treat! I then realised I could wear my wig to every visit with friends and family over the coming 2 months, I eventually pranked over 40 of my close friends and family.
Obsolete info from January post: I’m editing it into a long version for Youtube in the next couple of weeks, but for now I hope you enjoy this 30 second clip.
I’ve entered it into an Australian prank competition (which is why it is constricted to 30 seconds only, argh!).
