you could try the old favourites.  Telephone messages from Mr C Lyons (number of London Zoo) or Liz Windsor (Buckingham Palace).

I used to work with this really gullible bloke about 10 years ago.  One April 1st I typed up a letter using a mocked up letter head from the Civil Service Sports Council telling him he'd won an all expenses paid weekend to London (where we live) in a competition.  The letter asked him to call a number to claim his prize, which was actually the Abbey National telephone banking number, at which point I thought he'd suss it.

Anyway, at the time I worked in the part of the office where all the post was opened, so it was easy to get hold of an opened envelope postmarked the day before and hand deliver it to him telling him we'd opened it up centrally because his name hadn't been showing properly in the envelope window (thanks to some clever folding by moi).

Caught up with him an hour or so later and he said he was having trouble claiming his prize.  "why?" I enquired innocently.  "they printed the wrong claim number in the letter, so I phoned the switch board and they didn't know anything about it - they're trying to trace the sender".

Scary part is this guy was my boss!

Go in early and rearrange somebodies desk so everything is the opposite way around, so the phone is on the other side, the mouse is on the other side, any pictures etc etc. Its fun to watch them try and work out what is different.

Everytime someone goes away from their desk, move it half an inch in one direction, by the end of the day they will be really confused.

If its a call centre just go outside the office and ring up from your mobile phone and pose as someone else. Perhaps pretend you are a daily mail reporter offering to pay them five grand to spill the beans on dodgy practices in the company.

The best one I ever heard was a friend of mine. His mate was selling his car and he got a girl to ring him saying she wanted to buy it. She said that all the houses on his road looked the same and she had recently been attacked by a man when she got out of her car, so she asked if he could stand outside with something noticable in his hands so she knew who we was, something like a plant pot. They then spent the next few hours watching their mate from another house as he stood on the end of the road holding a plant pot and approaching every female that walked past him.

I personally (this isnt an april fools joke) send my parents birthday and xmas cards from 'Simon and Amanda'. They dont know anyone by that names and they argue every year about who it could be.

Yep, too much time on my hands here.

you could knock on all your neighbours doors and tell them all to evacuate the street as they've found an unexploded bomb - then at midnight when everyone is freezing cold shout

APRIL FOOLS!!

Many poker sites have each card image as a seperate file, replace the  5s with  Aspades and  3h with  Ahrt etc and then sit back and laugh when keep getting dealt pocket aces and yet still lose nearly every hand. That is until they get dealt  Ahrt Ahrt and twig that somthing is wrong.

(unless you are very cruel you may have to refund any money they lose during the trick period).

For a more generic trick take a screenshot of the victims desktop, then set as the background, turn off icons (right-click > arrange icons by > show desktop icons) for best effect also unlock and hide the taskbar. See how many times they reboot before they figure it out.

Ive been doing it for 5 years. I still get the same guy from my old job to write the card because they have compared the hand writing. My Dad is convinced its my mums old workmate, my mum is convinced its someone from dads gym. One year my dad went to a woman called 'Mandy' s house with a return card because they were convinced it was her after meeting her at a wedding, she said it wasnt and later that day they got a card from her as well.

The biggest problem I have is, I never want it to end. Ive had ideas on how to end it, I thought about inviting them to a wedding or something like that.

Another one like changing keyboard keys - take apart their phone & rearrange the numbers so they're in the layout of the numberpad on the computer - the brain sees them laid out 'correctly' and it can take forever for them to work out why they can't make calls ;)

There's this guy at work that ALWAYS worries about me and my mate Abi, he's a bit obsessive when it comes to looking after us so we planned out our april fools day joke last week. We were at Abi's last night for dinner and halfway through I started 'crying' and telling this guy i'm pregnant and don't know who the father is....plus I don't have anywhere to live so asked if I could move in with him and if he would help bring up the baby. He fell for it completely, even texting me after saying he's always there for me etc... We still haven't got the heart to tell him it was a big fat lie!

I know a guy that proposed to his girlfriend as an april fool, she said yes, he said april fools, she dumped him.

This one seems plain cruel, kind of how a serial killer starts, good luck with that one.
