Tricky Moving Envelope Letter April Fools Trick

Would you like to surprise a friend with a special letter? Just for fun, try this. Bend a paper clip into a U-shape. Put a small rubber band across the top and insert a stick. Then turn the stick until the rubber band is wound up. Carefully put it in an envelope and hold it tightly until you seal it. Give it to your friend and watch his surprise when he opens it.
A Fun April Fools Trick Idea to Play on Your Friends

April Fools Day is coming up on April 1st and I know that you are looking for a good trick to play on your parents and friends. Go and find a sheet of paper, an envelope, a rubber band, and a strong piece of cardboard. Cut a rectangle of strong cardboard out...it should be a bit smaller than the envelope as it will need to fit in there for the trick. Draw a really big capital letter 'G' on it. Make the width of this capital 'G' a little less than an inch wide. Now cut out the 'G' ... on each side of the 'G', cut a notch to the hold the ends of the rubber band. Look in the picture above to see what I mean. Now cut a piece of cardboard about 1/2 inch by 1 inch and place it in the opening between the rubber band, as pictured above. Twist it by turning the cardboard about 40 - 45 times.
Now, while holding the rubber band still, place the 'G' within a folded piece of paper, with the back of the 'G' towards the fold of the piece of paper. Now hold the paper tightly and place it inside the envelope with the edges down. Don't lick the envelope closed though. Ask your friend if he got this school notice too? He will take the piece of paper out of the envelope and he will jump out of his seat when the paper starts making a lot of noise and moving. It will be so funny.
