Claus,
	When you ask of tricks, I'm assuming you mean dirty ones..

1) Tell someone you can pin a glass of water to the wall... a REAL
glass, not a paper cup, using an ordinary straight pin. They won't 
believe you so do the following.
   Get a glass, fill it w/ water and a pin. Hold the glass up to
the wall and start to pin it up. At this point, drop the pin. Say
to the other person that you have the glass perfectly set, and ask
them to get the pin for you. When they bend down to get the pin, 
dump the water on their head!

2) When the party gets underway, inform a few friends and call someone
you know, and have a different person leave a message for (John Smith)
or some other name that sounds real. Insist that you have the right 
number and even repeat their number to them. Have a bit of fun here,
and stretch this out for as long as possible. Repeat several times
throught the evening, once or twice an hour. Let everyone have a turn
calling, and just as the party is breaking up, call one last time.
Tell the person answering the phone that you are John Smith, and ask,
"Are there any messages for me?"

3) If the party is raging on for quite a while, say all night for 
example, call someone you know who is at home around 2-3am and
"remind" them to go to the bathroom (or do something). Wait for
half an hour or so, then call again just to make sure s/he did what
you asked them to do earlier.

4) If the host of the party is sure to be trashed to the point of
passing out before everyone else (a BIG no-no), then on your way
to the party, stop by the grocery store and purchase a few of those
little unsweetened cool-aid packages. When your "prey" is away from
the bedroom, simply spread the contents underneath the bottom sheets.
Its is best if done in stripes, to leave his/her body in different
colors. This works best in a warm room where they are sure to sweat
during the night. Even better if you know if they will be "entertaining"
later that evening!

5) Try taping a drunk to their bed. Get a large roll of masking tape
and when they pass out wind it around them. Small couches work fine
also. Make sure this person isn't gonna be running towards the 
bathroom at any point during the evening to make any calls.

6) As somebody what time it is when s/he is holding a full glass
in the hand attached to the wrist s/he wears a watch. You'll be
surprised at how many people will spill the contents of the glass
onto themselves trying to be helpful to you.

7) Ok, one last one for ya. Start a casual conversation w/ a friend
about coordination. Then ask if s/he wants to test their coordination
against yours. Take a fairly large sheet of paper and roll it into a
funnel, then stick the pointed end in the front of your pants. Say 
the object is to see how many times out of 10 that you can roll a
quarter off your forehead into the funnel. Do it once or twice to 
show that it can be done, then give them the funnel. Let them drop
the quarter a few times, then when they are least expecting it, 
pour a full glass of water into the funnel!

	Have fun, and remember revenge is a BITCH!!! ;-)
I hope none of my friends read this, they won't trust me anymore.
