People often ask me what is my all time favorite practical joke. Without a doubt, that would be the puff cigarette. I have had more fun with this item than any other. I make it a point to introduce the puff cigarette to people who are curious but have no experience with practical joke products. To me, puff cigarettes epitomize the classic practical joke because it includes the elements of a "fake" item along with play acting to complete an illusion. For those of you unfamiliar with the puff cigarettes, these are very realistic fake cigarettes. The end glows red, there are scorch marks on the sides along with gray ash, but the real kicker is the puff of smoke. When the victim sees that smoke, he is convinced that you have a lit cigarette. And that's when the fun starts. You could carelessly drop the cigarette on the new carpet, or flick it maliciously at the couch. Or puff some smoke out of the cigarette in an elevator or non-smoking environment. If somebody says
something to you, put the cigarette in your pocket or behind your ear. For the ladies, pull the cigarette out of your purse, expel a cloud of smoke, then throw it back into your purse. Practice in front of a mirror with the puff cigarettes before you try it for real. Work on the casual look and for you kids or non-smokers, work on the cough. Explain that on your last trip to Daytona you picked up a couple of bad habits. The illusion of "smoke" from Puff cigarettes is created simply by powder. You blow into the tube to expel a cloud of powder. Tap the filter end on a hard surface every now and then. This loosens up the powder and makes it work better. When the powder eventually runs out, you can refill them. Just pull out the little piece of cotton in the filter end and put in a little pinch of corn starch or baby powder.
