No one will ever ask to borrow your pen again after you pull this hair-raising hoax.

Step 1: Dismantle pen
Dismantle the pen and remove and discard the ballpoint tip and the ink. Set aside the empty tube and cap.

Step 2: Cut match strip
Cut a small square from the strike pad on the matchbox and contour it inside the cap, strike side out.

Step 3: Cut matches
Cut the ends from the matches so they fit inside the tip of the pen tube, match heads facing out. Let them stick out about ¼- to ½-inch.

Step 4: Fill tube with water
Fill the tube with water before reassembling as a safety precaution. Replace the end with the matches in the tube and carefully replace the cap.

Tip
This gag won’t harm your victim or cause a fire. The water inside will extinguish the fire almost immediately.

Step 5: Watch
Watch in amusement as your unwitting victim removes the cap, causing the matches to light and the pen tip to burst into flames.
