Confusion ¬ Subtle and Sureal
Some of the best confusion is where the person being confused doesn't even notice. Those slighly sureal situations you can engineer to leave slight seeds of doubt in peoples mind as to what actually happened, leaving them vaugly bemused, and wondering if they should book in for a check on their sanity. Defy convention.
Confusionisms
¿> Forcourt Drama [12345]
Dress in random outfits [EG (some tried and tested ideas) spiderman outfit, false beards, a lifejacket, a jedi-esque dressing gown etc...], take a deckchair and go to your local garage late at night. The first person then sits on the deckchair in the middle of the forecourt while the others are out of view, then one by one the rest join in and make a tableau of some form.
¿> Drinking alone but never lonely [1234]
This can get complicated if you let it so I'll try to keep it simple. Get around 6 mates and go into your nearest town (town must have at least 6 pubs, and you must not be too well known in the town). Each start in the same pub and nominate the order of pubs you all have to follow. Give each person a number (1-6). Number 1 goes to the next pub. Around 10 minutes later, number 2 heads out to the next pub, where upon seeing number 1, they must not speak (a grunt is allowed). Number 1 has to down their pint, allow number 2 his bar stool/place and then move onto the 3rd pub. This happens until you get a chain going around the town. The loser is the one that breaks the chain.
¿> Laughing at Nothing [1234]
Go to a place such as a bus station and sit down on a seat. Take out a carton of water and spray it around on the floor. Than start giggling like a small child , then build it up to a louder giggle then hysterical giggling! This doesnt sound funny but try it - it gets you loads of crazy looks.
¿> Revolving Frustration [1234]
In stereotypical window-washing clothing, ie large overalls, enter one of the 'cubicles' in a revolving door and attempt to wash it. Look frustrated as the door continually eludes you.
¿> Clean Humour [1234]
Put a sign on a tree saying 'These conveniences are inspected and cleaned hourly. If you have any compaints please report to the duty manager.'
¿> Sylogise [123]
Use sylogisms to prove things that are simply not true. E.g. The dog has four legs, the chair has four legs, therefore the dog is a chair.
¿> Dog Fight [123]
Dressed in fancy dress dog costumes (or any other animal of your choice), you and a friend should run into a public place and start beating each other up.
¿> run! [12]
Pin a note to a friends back sayin "I am a bomb disposal Technician - If you see me running, try to keep up". Then run.
¿> Use your Loaf [12]
If you are still fortunate enough to have a bakers shop nearby go in and ask for a loaf of bread. When the baker asks "Brown or white?" you reply "No, it's okay I've got my bike outside"
¿> Nun [12]
Dress up as a Nun and go and stand in the contraception aisle at Boots or your local pharmacy store.
¿> Firing Squad [12]
Wear a sign on your back saying, 'In a moment this man will be shot.'
Practical Jokes
¿> Hand Cream [123]
Squeeze toothpaste on your hand and then retend that its hand cream and you're rubbing it in. Tell someone you've squeezed out too much and offer it to someone else. Watch as they try to rub toothpaste into their hands.
