Summary: for felons wannabes
Review: Exactly right, this book is not even entertaining. It can be summed up in one phrase: "Play god, commit crimes but don't get caught."

That's right, some reccomendations there, and the author does not make it secred are federal crimes such as mail fraud, forgery, trespassion, aggravated battery. The author does warn you and suggests "Don't get caught" just like any hard-core professional criminal would.

Like any other criminal mind, he cheers at others alike who consider themselves beyond the law of the land and beyond morality.

His judgment has to be checked too. He tells a story of a few ethnically distinguished military guys who were refused membership in a swimming pool and in revenge they dumped a few gallons of orange paint into the pool completely ruining it. By his version of the legend the owners of the pool did not manage to catch the saboteurs and bring them to justice. The saboteurs allegedly said, "that would make the owners more color blind."

Violence breeds violence. In real world outside fairy tales made by crooks for crooks, the owners would become way more reluctant to deal with the ethnic group in question. They may spend more on security, which turns once peaceful place in paranoid war zone.

Other suggestions from the author:

- if you get an F in your school test, accuse your teacher of molesting you.

- plant some drugs to the luggage of a person who goes on a trip to Mexico.

And so on. Some stories don't pass my personal smell check, read more like blue-collar fish stories.

Good only for boys who forgot to grow up and in their 50s still boys or for full-time sick-os.

I give one star for a very few passages that shed a light on possible tricks others can play on you.

Summary: It works. BUY IT!
Review: IT worked so well, my ex is afraid of my shadow, and I love it! And he said HE was going to make MY life a living h-e-double hockey sticks!

Summary: Avoid at all costs
Review: 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 Pretty much outdated and useless, and not even very entertaining.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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The book is good but sometimes goes too far.
Review: The book is extremely helpful in revenge techniques but sometimes what he suggests goes too far and could end up killing your 'mark'. Don't take everything word for word. Understand the spirit of the trick and not nessesarily the actual dirty trick. It was still a great book

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not Practical @ all
Review: 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.

Summary: Thumbs up
Review: 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.)
