Skill Level: Medium
Materials: Lots and Lots of Ping Pong Balls We gave this one a “medium” on the difficulty scale because the setup can be a little more difficult than some of the other pranks we present here. The basic premise is to fill a kitchen cupboard with ping pong balls and then watch in surprise as your co-workers panic when they are showered with a bunch of ping pong balls.
However, given their nature, it’s next to impossible to simply dump a bunch of balls into a cabinet and shut it fast enough to keep them inside. Sure, sometimes you can luck out and find a cabinet with an open top, but most of the time you’re dealing with a closed cabinet.
Our suggestion is to use a flat piece of cardboard to cover the bottom three-quarters of the shelf area of the cabinet so that you have a small opening at the top to pour in the ping pong balls. Fill up the area as much as possible so that when the door is opened, the full effect of the waterfall is experienced. Once you have loaded in as many balls as you can, close the cabinet on the cardboard, then slowly slip the cardboard out from behind the cabinet door to seal in the surprise.
Now when the door is opened, get ready for the screams and scrambling as people not only try and shield themselves from the falling ping pong balls, but also trying to collect the balls as they bounce all over the room!
