Gotcha! Here's a waaay simple prank, just in time for April Fools. This prank is perfect for little kids, who will think it is absolutely amazing. To pull this off properly, you need a few ingredients and about 4-5 minutes. You will perform an impossible feat- slicing a banana through its peel, & WITHOUT using a knife. Here is how it's done...

But wait- There's More! Click 'Read More' to get the play-by-play...         ↓↓↓
Ingredients:
A Banana
Needle + Thread

Thread the needle using approximately 10-12 inches of thread. Use the needle to put a hole through the banana peel. Then push the needle through, keeping enough of the string at the entry where you began. Go in and out through the banana, taking care that the needle enter and exit through the same hole, and all the while keeping the needle threaded. Now, you want to create a circle around the inner wall of the banana. Once you have reached the hole where you started- pull both ends of the thread out & voila! Repeat the same steps until you have all the slices you want. 

Now for the fun part! Give the banana to an unsuspecting child* and ask them to peel it- they will not believe their eyes- because it's already sliced- Magic!

Listen to this story! My mom pulled this trick on me in Kindergarten, so Guess What! My mom is visiting & I called her into the kitchen & asked for her help peeling bananas for a Killa Nilla Wafers banana cream pie I was making. She peeled the banana & said "It's already sliced." And I said "APRIL FOOLS!" She wasn't as impressed as I had been when I was five, but I still managed to pull a fast one. I would say Mission Accomplished, Oh, and we got some pies out of it, because I bought a bunch of bananas for the trick, so I could trick everyone- so we made two pies. Except that now we are down to one whole pie, because I basically ate one of them myself. This is the trick that keeps giving.
*It works on adults, too.

*RockStar Tip* 
Just take a long sewing needle & puncture the banana peel with it, by performing a sweeping forward + back motion, & you're done. Same outcome as using the thread & needle.
