That's pretty good too. The best thing about playing tricks on your parents is that what you're really doing is avenging the tricks they played on your grandparents, while also making a preemptive strike on anything they might plot with your children.

OK, it's not an April Fools Joke but it was a prank. In highschool we used to "party" out by the local graveyard. I lived in a pretty small place so outdoor drinking spots for teenagers weren't uncommon. Anyways around Halloween one year a group of us decided we hold a seance in the cemetary on Halloween. We spent the week or so leading up to the event talking about the party and seance at the cemetary. On Halloween night a few of us went out early and set up candles. Oh, did I mention we dug a shallow grave and gave my friend Joseph a small snorkel to breathe through? We reburied my friend and went and gathered the rest of the attendees, telling them we'd found a fresh grave, the perfect spot for our seance. We than proceeded to hold our little seance, being suitably creepy about it. About 10mins. or so into it, Joseph sat up. To be honest I don't think I've ever seen people run so fast in their entire lives.

This trick is guaranteed to result in some pain - for you, but the look on the mark's face is worth it.
You need a mark/victim who is a heavy sleeper, and a vacuum cleaner with a LIGHT on the front. While they're snoring away, position the vaccum cleaner on a coffee table at eye level to them. Now, lean in and whisper "Look out for the train!" repeatedly. Very softly at first, and a little louder each time. When the mark finally opens his/her eyes...Yell it out-loud and turn the vacuum cleaner ON.
