 It was alright July 16, 2007

Personally i have bought the book and found most of the information pretty funny, And i have been reading some of the other reviews and it irritates me of how people are trying to buy the book for Practical jokes to play on their friends, well think of your own jokes hows that? Hayduke specifically says in the book "However, the tricks, scams, stunts, cons, and scenarios presented here are done solely for informational and amusement purposes only" and he goes on like that and even suggests a book for actual practical jokes. Granted this book is not useful for finding ways to prank your friends/enemies, but it is quite the entertaining read.

I think this book is pretty entertaining but not the best. I read books like this all the time and notice that lots of these so called pranks are from there. -Crazy P

This book is completely un-useable! I wanted a book I could use to play pranks on my friends and enemies - this publication contains "crimes" which no one in their right mind would endeavor to achieve without ending up in the can. It seems like Hayduke wrote it because there is a lack of "practical joke" books on the market and he knew it would sell regardless of the content - which is inane and mindless. An example of a totally ridiculous one is spreading some "human feces" on bread and feeding someone a [pooh] sandwhich. This is about as good as the book gets - and who is going to try that one?! I'm so upset that I actually purchased this God-awful book. Advice for all you pranksters - If you must buy a book in order to learn practical jokes you can actually "play" get The Prankster's Ultimate Handbook by Erik Buckman. The gags within are all playable, enjoyable and it is truly a very funny read as well.

This is a great book. There are only two parts that are out of date and those are 1)Buying m-80's 2)Using foreign coins in pop machines (tried it already) the rest are incredibly well written down and in detail. Alot of them i have either heard other guys talk about or red them online (with no credit to the author.)

Like the other Hayduke books, whatever relevance this one may have had has long since passed. Pretty much outdated and useless, and not even very entertaining. Go with Victor Santoro instead.
