Hi all, i'm looking for a scary practical joke to play on my eldest daughter.
The other day she tried to scare me by tying a thin cotton line to the lamp shade and tugging it so that it looks like it moved on its own, needless
to say i wasn't convinced but i have vowed to get her back so any good gags appreciated.
Cheers.
Try the Penn and Teller removable thumb gag

For extra points you can get her to hold the 'thumb' and then cut it off with a pair of big scissors - be careful if you do it hurts if you
cut off the real one 
p.s. it works much better if you leave the carrot in the fridge for a week or so, it gets just the right flesh firmness for realism.

How old is She? Just wondering what level of trauma would be appropriate.
One thing you could try - only mild trauma expected!
Make or buy something that looks like a mouse - doesn't have to be too authentic, as long as it's furry, the right size and the right
colour.
Tie the finest thread that you can find, preferably of a colour that won't be seen on the carpet.
Now wait until she's been watching the telly for quite a while, nice and relaxed, and preferably in a dimly lit room... then gently drag the
mouse across the floor. Ideally you should mimic mouse behaviour, i.e. drag it along the skirting board, behind furniture, and so on. Also stop,
start, etc.
Or chuck a real one in there
Does she have a hamster? Do you have a family cat? One night move it to a safe place and then squirt tomato sauce where it normally sleeps and leave
door open.
Probably not usable, but when I first got my hands on a laser pointer I ran outside and shone it through my bothers window slowly lowering it to his
head. Then watched him dive for the floor must have enemies...
What a nice brother I was

i use a laser pointer to exercise the dog at night, for 3 years every night hes ran after it.
Yip I do that also its great fun, though the older dog seems to understand now where the dot comes from as she just ignores it. But the other dog is
far too stupid to work it out
If you shine it at seagulls at night they panic and act as though they have been shot
Very useful if your neighbour's cat digs up your plants at night - scares the hell out of them!
if you got a cat, hide catnip in her shoes
What about putting a balaclava on one night when she's gone to bed then putting a ladder against her bedroom window one night then gently
knocking on the window and wait till she comes to the glass. If you no ladders just stand in the yard with a long stick knocking. She'll be so
psyched up she'll not think its you. It poo me up when my dad did it to me as a kid
Just how much mental trauma are you trying to induce!

I scared my 2 last night. They were in bath when i gat home (they are almost 3 and 6 so wife was in the room too). I crept upstairs and went into roon
next door. Started taping and scraping at the walls to make it sound like there was a mouse etc in loft or in walls. I heard the kids saying it might
be a monster (i think the 6 year old sussed it was me). I then crept to bathroom door and opened it very quickly - poor lttle one nearly jumped out of
her skin - im pleased i didnt shout as i did it

Tis true but generally they just scram and run. When I say they I mean me 
What about then knocking up summat, be it fishing wire or a simple actuator and opening and shutting her drawers or wardrobe door in the night.
That'll scare the hell out of her.
Or what about this what my mate did. Not scary but embarassing. He stitched a pair of his dads undercrackers to the back of his mams coat and let her
go off to work

the neighborhood fiend!?
Do tell
Ah no. I was on the receiving end when I was younger. It was another one of my dads reet funny tricks Including dragging a carrot out of the fish
tank and pretending to eat one of my fish, hanging me off a bridge in Manchester and threatening to drop me and telling me how cold it would be (did
this one a few times) and chasing me round the house with dead fish and cornering me then showing me its teeth and thratening me with them before
cooking them and eating their eyes in front of me (still does this!) He's a laugh a minute! 
Hmm makes even my dad sound good who's well known for his unbelievable temper (he was even kicked out the army for punching an officer! , oh
and wacked me for taking a car out without an MOT which I thought was a bit OTT)
fortunately that gene skipped me...
you can choose your friends but not your family
hahaha just dont do this to your kid... too cruel.. the poor kid is probably traumatized for life!
