Pulled an awesome prank today.
I've always worn a glove on one hand. Its just something I do. A bunch of people at my college started bugging me about it asking why I did it. So just for giggles I told them my hand was infected and extremely dangerous and I kept it on for protection. Then they started pestering me constantly to look at it and I refused so I could watch them squirm. After about a week of refusing to show them I got an idea from a metacafe video I had seen(really tried to find the video to post it because it is what inspired me and all credit goes to him, but I can't for the life of me find the darn thing).
So i started to work on my little prank. The things I used were: two gloves, a box of matches, and a can of lighter fluid. One glove needs to be small enough to fit in the other glove while allowing a little bit of room but not enough that it isn't snug. They also must be heat/fire proof and can't absorb liquid to well. It's a bonus if you can manage to get the smaller glove close to your skin color. Overall a pain to find but I managed.
First cut the igniter part of the box of matches of and glue it to the top of the smaller glove. Then glue the match on the inside of the big glove so that it is over the ignition part you glued and very snug. Basically what happens if you rip the glove of quickly which pulls the match over the match box piece and lights it. Then just put a covering of lighter fluid on the smaller glove. Put on the big glove and get ready for some fun :P
I went to college with it on the next day and they of course asked me why I was wearing such a big glove. I told them the infection was even worse today and I had thought of staying home. I told them if they really wanted to see it so bad to follow me outside to the concrete area out back(so as not to get passerby's or burn anything). Then, cause I'm such a fan of drama, I raised my hand in the air, then ripped the glove off. It lit up perfectly and the reaction from them totally made it worth all the pain in the butt effort. Lots of screaming and sprinting back inside, also with lots of screaming. Needless to say I stood there and had a good laugh at their expense :).
