Most of you may have already seen this video by the creative team (slash pranksters) of ImprovEverywhere. 200 agents were asked to freeze in the middle Grand Central Station, NYC.. and remain that way for the next 5 minutes.

Great concept you guys! I particularly enjoyed watching the reactions of the crowd. Priceless!

This was brought up in the office over dinner, some time ago: what if they stage something like this in Manila? Well, we think there’s a chance that this would totally bomb. Worst case scenario would be snatchers, seeing this as an opportunity to grab cellphones/bags/wallets. There’s also a possibility of the plan backfiring. I imagine tambays giving the frozen agents a little tickling or even deliberately agitating them to force them to move.

That would even be more entertaining. It will turn out that the pranksters will actually be the ones pranked on. LOL.
