The Exploding Pen

-----------------------

Here's a GREAT little trick to play on your best fiend (no thats not a typo) at skool, or maybe as a practial joke on a

Materials Needed

1] One Ball Point `Click` pen

2] Gun Powder

3] 8 or 10 match heads

4] 1 Match stick

5] a sheet of sand paper (1 1/2" X 2")

1] Unscrew pen and remove all parts but leave the button in the top.

2] Stick the match stick in the part of the pen clicker where the other little parts and the ink fill was.

3] Roll sand paper up and put around the match stick that is in the clicker.

4] Put the remaining Match Heads inside the pen, make sure that they are on the inside on the sand paper.

5] Put a small piece of paper or something in the other end of the pen where the ball point comes out.

6] Fill the end with the piece of paper in it with gun powder. The paper is to keep the powder from spilling.
Ripping off Change Machines Have you ever seen one of those really big changer machines in airports laundrymats or arcades that dispense change when you put in your 1 or 5 dollar bill? Well then, here is an article for you.

1) Find the type of change machine that you slide in your bill length wise, not the type where you put the bill in a tray and then slide the tray in!!!

2) After finding the right machine, get a $1 or $5 bill. Start crumpling up into a ball. Then smooth out the bill, now it should have a very wrinkly surface.

3) Now the hard part. You must tear a notch in the bill on the left side about 1/2 inch below the little 1 dollar symbol.

4) If you have done all of this right then take the bill and go out the machine. Put the bill in the machine and wait. What should happen is: when you put your bill in the machine it thinks everything is fine. When it gets to the part of the bill with the notch cut out, the machine will reject the bill and (if you have done it right) give you the change at the same time!!! So, you end up getting your bill back, plus the change!! It might take a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, you can get a lot of money!

P.S. Sorry for the "text work" but you should be able to get the idea. Have fun!!!

This is another good way to rip off a change or drink machine....

You first get a nice new dollar to work with. Make sure there are no rips in it. Now, you get a thin piece of transparent plastic about 3/4 the width of the actual dollar. It must be a good 6" or longer. Next, you need some transparant tape. Scotch magic tape will work the best. You simply tape the plastic strip to the dollar. But, you must be careful not to tape it more than 1/2" up the side of the dollar. tape it on both sides (front and back, not top and bottom) of the dollar. Now, all you have to do is use it:

Walk casually up to the secluded machine. Take out your dollar, and put it into the machine. BE CAREFUL! Some of the more modern change machines have alarms! Most likely, though, drink or candy machines will not. Now, the machine starts taking your dollar.... You wait until your plastic strip is almost all the way into the machine, and then you pull with sufficient force to get the dollar out of the machine, but not rip it. If You did it correctly, you should have gotten whatever you bought, and still have your dollar for later use. On candy machines, though, make your selection, and then wait and pull the dollar out. Don't worry if you don't get it on the first few tries. It took me about 5 tries to master it. It DOES, i repeat DOES work for a fact if done correctly. If you just can't get it, though, either the machine is too sophisticated, or you put the tape up too high on the dollar. Have fun!!!!
