How to plan a good April Fools prank


What makes a good April Fool's prank? The perfect prank is a combination of originality and humor and should be unexpected. It is best to plan your prank early in the day: if your victim has not been exposed to any other pranks yet, they have probably not realized it is the first of April yet.
Keep in mind that a good prank should always be in good taste. It is not acceptable to hurt someone physically or emotionally. Make sure nothing could go wrong with your prank: accidents happen, especially if you have never tried this prank before. You should probably test your prank first if you have any reason to believe someone could get hurt if something went wrong. You can avoid to hurt your victim emotionally by not humiliating them publicly and by avoiding any kind of offensive prank.
Ask yourself how well you know your victim. A close friend probably understands your sense of humor and appreciates it, but your other acquaintances might not.
Get other people to help you with your prank. This makes the whole April Fool's tradition more fun and this is also a good way of planning the best prank possible. You will also have more possibilities with a team helping you.
Should you record your prank? Watching the video again with your friends could be a lot of fun, but do not share the video online or with others without the permission of the victim of your prank. Remember that you have no way of knowing how popular your video will get once you post it online.
