Urban Prankster Blog

Urban Prankster Blog

Charlie Todd of Improv Everywhere has started a new blog to catalog “prank missions” from around the world. Urban Prankster is dedicated to covering “pranks, hacks, participatory art, flash mobs, and other creative endeavors that take place in public places in cities across the world”. There’s also a community site where other agents and groups (with names like The Boston Society of Spontaneity and Jakarta Mystifier) can co-ordinate and post mission ideas.
