Boom!This is one I tried about 20 years ago...
Remember those green bulbs containing compressed CO2 that went into soda syphons? I nicked one from my grandparent's cupboard, wrapped it in strips of old towel doused in WD40 and lit it at the bottom of my mum and dad's garden
I cautiously watched from behind the shed, peering out with my safety glasses (ski goggles from the trip in second year) when all of a sudden an explosion boomed out sending what seemed like a shock wave around the neighbourhood. About 5 of the neighbours came running out wondering what was going on.
"What was that? Did you hear that?" the woman next door asked. "Dunno" I replied, "probably a car backfiring or something."
"Oh, er...OK......Erm, why are you wearing skiing goggles?"
