For the latest Improv Everywhere mission, Agent Lathan pretended to get lost during a Knicks game. Throughout the second half he kept appearing further and further away from his assigned seat with a confused look on his face. Of course Knicks fans went crazy trying to help him find his way back. Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with the IE report: Where’s Rob?
Ron English takes graffiti to new heights this morning by skywriting the word CLOUD five times across lower Manhattan. The text soon dissipates into… actual clouds.
Prankster Rob Cockerham recently spray-painted a bunch of stuffed animals brown and left them for dead on the sides of roads around Sacramento. Why? Because he’s hilarious. See his documentation.
Artist Stuart Semple released over 2,000 “happy clouds” recently in London. The clouds were made from a mixture of soap, helium, and vegetable dye. They lasted for about 30 minutes before dissolving into the air.

Spotted at a London protest. (Perhaps a reference to this TV show sketch.)
The first 1:32 of this video tell the story of cabinet maker Lucas Murgida’s experience hiding in one of his cabinets in a public space and waiting for someone to come and take it. It’s a modern day Trojan Horse.
French prankster Remi Gaillard continues to push the limits of what he can get away with. This time he takes a dive in an aquarium without permission. The video has an quick elevator prank thrown in for good measure. Enjoy.
Ever wonder what an urban publicity stunt looked like in 1932? Well, here you go.
Gothamist explains:
The performer is Tiny Kline (who lived from 1891 to 1964), and during her time she was a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus performer, where this type of signature “slide for life/iron jaw” stunt captivated many. Later in life, at the age of 70, the talented acrobat played Tinker Bell in the “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks show at Disneyland.
I’ve seen a few protests of protests, but showing up at a protest to protest crowds is a new one.
From the BBC:
A design student made a battered old Skoda “disappear” by painting it to merge with the surrounding car park.
Sara Watson, who is studying drawing at the University of Central Lancashire (Uclan), took three weeks to transform the car’s appearance.
She created the illusion in the car park outside her studio at Uclan’s Hanover Building in Preston.
The car is now being used for advertising by the local recycling firm that donated the vehicle.
‘Just amazing’
Ms Watson, a second year student, said: “I was experimenting with the whole concept of illusion but needed something a bit more physical to make a real impact.”
She was given the Skoda Fabia from the breaker’s yard at local firm Recycling Lives.
Owner Steve Jackson described her work as “amazing”.
“When I first saw the photos I was convinced it was something which had been done on the computer,” said Mr Jackson.
“But when you look more closely you see the effort and attention to detail she has put into it. It is just amazing.
You can see a video of it at BBC News (embedding disabled due to lameness!)
