Even though it took me like, an hour or two to read without doing the cut-outs or pencil-ins, this book was AMAZING, even though I did not believe some of the supposed "facts". Very cute. Recommended for 10-year olds, or adults who want to relive their childhood.

Pretty much anyone I feel comfortable around.
I was thrilled to open this on Christmas morning. I learned later that my wife had debated whether to give this to me or save it for our 12-year-old nephew. I am honored that she felt I was most deserving.

What can you say about a book like this? First, why would an adult read it? Well, my wife (a teacher) said it would be a great resource for her to have for her 6th graders, but for me, it was simply a useful text to add to my own bag of tricks. Of course, I wouldn't say it had that many revolutionary or even slightly clever tricks and gags, but out of over 400 pages, I probably found at least 2 dozen ideas that I'm going to file away for future use. What kind of future use, you may ask? Well, fo...more

Heh heh heh. One of the most fun books I've ever taken into a middle school. Even though most of them ALREADY know how to make an armpit fart, make chin people, and make a tabletop football or a fortune teller out of folded paper. For us boring grown-ups, an instruction manual for such things is a trip down memory lane. Also, I must admit that I like this better than the recent glut of boy/girl nostalgia/childhood trickery books. Great gift book if you're an aunt or uncle and won't have to deal ...more

My first thought upon seeing this title was "They made a book just for me!" After I started "reading", I was a tad disappointed. This activity book, made by the Klutz Company, features tricks such as how to make a penny bridge, using trick photography, and how to do the old 'salt in the sugar dispenser' gag. If you've ever lost sleep at night wishing you could improve your armpit fart technique, look no further.
However, about halfway through, I realized that this...more

How to make duct tape underpants and send secret rubber band messages.
I am generally wary of and resentful towards practical jokes. However after buying this book for my 9 year old son, I realized there are alot of fun, entertaining and creative ways to lovingly annoy your friends and family. Embrace your inner rascal.

A very funny read, some tongue-in-cheek... some of the ideas and activites can work well in a classroom and some I would NEVER do in a classroom. My 13-year old nephew also read it and enjoyed it as much as I did (maybe even more).

A very entertaining book. Worth five stars.
Let's face it; who can get tired of endless games of Punch-Buggy?
This has to be the perfect book for the kid-at-heart type, or for somebody who just wants to have fun.

It's not the kind of book that you read cover to cover in order. You can only buy it at a book fair, not in a book store (I think). We got it as a paper back book rather than hard back ($12.99). Tailor has read it all the way through, Brian nearly has, I'm way far behind. Brian has even tried something from the book on people at work and laughed quite hartily at them. Watch out Keenan, he'll be trying stuff out when we're in Fremont the week you will be!

This book is totally hilarious. It's just a big book of cool things to do and pranks. It also teaches you how to make a ring out of money. I luv it! it's soooo cool! The stuff really works!

This is the perfect book for the 10-12yo set, you know, the ones who, if they had been growing up in the '70s, would have been reading Dynamite Magazine.
