Set an alarm clock to go off at 12 AM on April 1st and then hide it in your victim's bedroom. Most people can't sleep through that loud beeping. So your victim will not only get woken up in the middle of the night, but he will also be forced to get out of bed to find the alarm clock.

Pull the 'ole invisible rope in the middle of the road prank. Call up a friend with amazing improv skills and go to a quiet street. You and your friend should each crouch down on the side the side of the street and pretend to play tug-o-war. When cars drive by, lean back like you're pulling the rope. If your acting skills are up to par, cars will actually slow down and stop because they'll assume there's a rope.

Start the day off on a colorful note by adding a few drops of food coloring to the milk. It's a harmless prank and works great for a family that eats cereal in the morning.

Help someone look a few years older by adding a little hair supplement to her morning routine. Shake some baby power into your victim's blow dryer. When she goes to turn it on, her hair will get a sudden burst of white.

If you work in a place with Push and Pull doors you can set up a great and easy April Fool's Day prank. Make legitimate looking signs that say the opposite of what they should (push if it's a pull door, pull if it's a push door). Watch people struggle all day trying to get in and out of the building.

Make breakfast messy by gluing all the eggs into the carton on April Fools Eve. When your family/roommates go to get them out in the morning, they'll be sure to break.

You can drive someone absolutely crazy by pulling the nonprank prank. Start leaving hints the day before April Fools that your victim "better watch his back" and "be careful where he steps." Throughout the day send cryptic text messages like "I wouldn't do my laundry today if I were you." Your victim will spend all day anticipating a huge prank that never happens.

Freak someone out quickly and easily by making him think his job is in jeopardy. Get a group of friends together and have them all call one friend before work one morning. Everyone should express shock and concern over the fact that your friend's company is laying off half their workforce. Make sure to ask if your friend has heard any news yet.

By the end of April Fools, most people think they're in the clear for getting pranked. Teach them a late night lesson by pulling off this simple prank. Buy a universal remote and program it for a shared TV in your home. When your victim is watching TV April Fools Night you should start turning the TV on and off, switching the channel, and messing with the volume. Make sure to be sneaky so your victim doesn't see that you have a remote. When you victim starts asking what's going on respond that the TV must want to celebrate April Fools.

Make everyone think you're disgusting by tricking them into thinking you eat mayonnaise plain. Whip up some homemade vanilla pudding (the box stuff is too yellow) and put it inside an empty mayonnaise jar. When you're with a group of people tell them you're hungry and then go grab the jar from the fridge. Eat spoonfuls of the mayo and rave about good it is.

Buy an orange jumpsuit (or anything else that resembles Jail uniform) and get ready to scare people. Walk around to your friends' houses, knock on their doors, and ask if you can use their phone real fast. They'll think you're a criminal at first and hopefully freak out. Be careful taking this prank too far. Someone will eventually call the cops on you if you don't make it clear that it's just you in a costume.

Give your victim's water a twist by putting in a little white wine vinegar. It's clear, so there will be no way for your victim to tell until he takes a drink of water. It's a vile taste and odds are he'll want to kill you. Run fast.

Make breakfast a big joke by hard-boiling all the eggs and putting them back in the container. When you victim takes one out and tries to crack it, he'll be so confused. Watch as he goes through the whole carton only to find out that they're all hard-boiled.

Place "please use other door" signs in rooms where there aren't any other doors to use. People will be baffled and unsure of what to do. Go all out by writing "emergency exit only, if opened alarm will sound."

Turn a meal into chaos by switching the hinges on the fridge. Unscrew the hinges on the fridge door and screw them onto the other side. Now when someone pulls the handle on the usual side, the fridge won't open and people will go crazy trying. Note: this only works on fridges with a top/bottom freezer.

Set the TV alarms to go off on all the TVs in someone's house. Set them all an hour apart throughout the night and turn the TV volume all the way up. They'll be up all night turning off the TV.

If you live with someone who drinks from the same dark-colored mug every morning, try this prank. Buy ink the same color as the mug and put it around the rim of the mug. As soon as the person takes a sip, he'll pe stuck with an ink mustache. If you're lucky he'll leave the house without looking in the mirror and enter his workplace with a mustache.

Put food dye in bathroom hand soap (make sure the food dye color matches the soap color) and watch people try to scrub it off of their hands. The more soap they use to clean their hands, the worse it's going to get.

Lightly dust your victim's sheets (sheets have to be white) with powdered milk. It shouldn't be visible on the sheets. Sweat + powdered milk = a wet morning surprise.

Get a box of Jelly donuts and make a small hole on the bottom. Squeeze out as much jelly as possible without ruining the look of the donut. Then use a turkey baster to fill the donut with the condiment of your choice. Put all the donuts pack in the box, hole side down, and put them out at your workplace.

Take a bar of soap out of the bathroom and cut out a small hole in the middle. Keep the soap cutout because you'll need it. Fill the hole with food dye and then cover up the soap with the soap cutout. Wet your finger and smooth over the crack. The next person to use that soap will get a colorful surprise.

You take everything within someones locker and ducttape them together and to the walls of the locker, as if you've not moved anything at all. For more hilarity only tape half the objects down.

Is there a way to give negative zugz? But anyway...
I had a teacher who would borrow my pencil so often, it became a running joke. I knew what my mission was on April Fools' Day. I went out looking for the biggest economy pack of pencils I could find, bought three, then delivered the bundle to his tiny, combination-locking school mailbox. The best part was that the mailroom staff actually had to move other stuff in the mailbox to make the giant pencil roll fit. I made sure to be in the vicinity when he opened it -- beautiful. If you know someone who is perpetually borrowing your stuff, you can adapt this prank around the object.
The year after that, same teacher had lent a book to one of his students -- a friend of mine -- with the admonishment not to dare spill any coffee on it. This statement proved to be rather unfortunate, as this friend had his own keys to teacher's office. The morning of April 1st he walked in to find this scene:

"I asked for decaf!"
Created using tacky glue, paint, wax paper, and patience, with an actual Dunkin Donuts cup and stirrer. My parents would be so glad to know I put those high school art classes to a greater purpose years later.
Long live April Fools' (and teachers with a sense of humor).
