A number of texts have preserved the 'tricks of the trade' of medieval pranksters. The notebook of Thomas Betson, a fifteenth-century monk at Syon Abbey in Middlesex, records his joke of hiding a beetle inside a hollowed-out apple. When the apple began to mysteriously rock back and forth people believed it to be possessed. Other manuscripts include instructions for more mischievous tricks, such as how to make beds itchy and meat appear wormy.

the jesus turned water into wine thing gave me two idea's,one is to give your brother/sister some coolade or something and fill it with tons of salt doesn't really matter how much you pour into it,and two is to cut a hole in a apple[but make sure some couldn't tell that it was in the apple]and fill the hole with ketchup and put the peice you cutted out back in and see if they like them apple's... your fellow prankster, PrankBuster

I've seen the water into wine trick. In reality I think it was something like diluted vodka into colored diluted vodka. Anyway it's easy to do clear to colored. It's much harder (impossible?) to do colored to clear. The lame walking hoax usually just requires a plant in the audience, maybe an extra or two to support the story and a couple of crutches or something to pull it off.
