It was funny how one could spent more time planning for a prank, at least, not preparing for an entire year.

It all started with a fraudulent plan, a prank idea which is not likely to raise a criminal offence, once committed while impersonating another without consent which is obtained, neither from the actual person nor any authority.

The prank consisted of impersonating a famous celebrity by not only dressing exactly like them, but also copying or replicating anything close to their original celebrity lifestyle. The objective of the prank was to take the crowd by surprise.

Thereby, the prank was a sole idea from Jack who was influenced by his similarities in personalities with a musical celebrity. Jack had almost the same tone in voice with a naïve attitude emanating from this celebrity. The idea came as a result of his personal love and support for this celebrity.

Jack grew up liking the celebrity. He was nearly a number one, yet he felt so far from his dream. The dream of living like his musical celebrity. Life in reality was not as it ought to have been in Jack’s dream. 

Jack at school was not famous. Neither was he loved to his satisfaction nor hated to his regret. He compared his life to a celebrity and also to most of his school mates. On the other hand, Jack’s life was not completely with joy, he felt, he had lacked talent to show forth himself to the world.

Nothing matters; but jack’s plan to succeed with the biggest prank ever done. Jack was so determined until he was ready to execute the prank. Jack made appointments, procured what was required.

Jack on that day dialed and called private assistance, experts and reality show teams. They all came incognito. Each team was surprised to see how Jack had organized his prank. This was so serious, that everyone who came through ended volunteering without pay to conduct a charity show business. This was business without any charges. This was not a trend when it comes to doing business.

Finally the prank was set up. Jack was completely imitating his favorite celebrity. He now looked like him in appearance. Later that day, the expert made him as replica of the celebrity. On other hand, Jack went to the extent of hiring an expensive super car, a McLaren P1.

The experts added another imitator to be together with Jack, a well known personal staff to the original celebrity. Perfect, it was match. This even made it more difficult for people to tell a difference. 

Since it was 1st of April, everybody was presumed to be expecting some typical prank. More people in jack’s school were careful, meanwhile other people were not lucky because they had already been pranked.

In spite of the many pranks, all prank were very minor and private that no big news came from them. They were usually done to a few within the university.

Before Jack could reach his university, he decided that he will also hire a quick stage in order to create more impression.

No sooner did Jack come out from the McLaren P1, than some typical spotlight was given by unknown body guards with black suites. The arrival was captivating. Whereas the fashion style was perfect according the celebrity he was imitating.

The music was immediately turned on. The more people who saw him, the more they screamed so loud with excitement that many thought jack was in fact the actual musical celebrity.

Thereafter, he made a remake with an exact attitude which confirmed even more about who he was. Thereby the awaiting announcement was released through the respect university publicity room. This lead to student getting more wide and overwhelmed with fun at its infant stage.

More crowds showed up in huge numbers, that it was nearly impossible to stop them from coming. The social media was flagged with this event update post. Social media videos became so wild and viral. Everything about the event was promoted and hyped up with no doubts.

Huge crowds coming from all sides, men and women, ladies of class and young men with enthusiasm enjoying the unexpected show. On the other hand, the media influencing more views.

Therefore, Jack expectation was more than met, He did not foresee that he will be on live feeds, cams and other worldwide broadcasts were nearly entire world was watching. In addition, he did not take that such big crowds from everywhere will be in the audience.

No one had anything against this shortcoming event. Nothing made it possible for the people to suspect a prank, and end up halting the fun. Therefore, the was only new updates of who did attend the event, what did they do and how many did attend?

The fun was in fact more real and authentic, because more crowds gathered than the normal celebrity historic performances ever did. Many people ended up to be influential by showing up.

 The crowds Snapped out of their minds. Ignorance and arrogance left them. More laughter and shock came from the background. Even worse, the media latest headlines was written all over news channels “Con Celebrity Prank Ever.”
