It's time to put that phone to good use! Calling people and playing pranks on them is a fun and easy way to make someone's day.

I never want to offend anyone with the pranks, so I always find out from their friends or family first whether the person they want me to prank will find it funny, whether there's anything I should be aware of etc. People don't see my face on the channel so it's sometimes easy to assume I'm mean or that I don't care. But I've started doing 'prank reveals' now - where I let my 'victim' know it was just a prank, sometimes even send them a couple of hundred bucks for their trouble - so they get that I have a heart.
A lot of the people I've pranked have emailed me afterwards to say they're now huge fans. As you get older, your personality and content mature too. It's not just about calling up people and ticking them off. When I was younger, I didn't care all that much - but it's different now. I actually enjoy creating in-depth content, exploring different situations but also circling back the classics like the restaurant owner or robbery victim pranks that fans keep coming back for. Apart from that, personal messages from all the fans - like when they write in to say they were feeling down but a particular prank video really brightened their day - really motivate me to keep things fresh for them.
Why all the anonymity though? A lot of people have their own ideas of what these characters look like. A very large part of what I do is not ruining that image for them. I also enjoy the humble low-key approach. A lot of people like to bask in the fame they accrue for themselves, but I like being able to live day-to-day without being recognised on the street.
The anonymity has its ups and downs though. Because of it, I've had to miss out on a couple of great opportunities.
Folks have offered to fly me out to different countries for meet-and-greet at YouTube conventions and the like. Naturally, I've had to turn them down. Will that be the case forever? Not necessarily. But, right now, it's about maintaining the mystery for the fans, and not taking away what they perceive these characters to be.
I've built it up to a point where I can't just turn the switch off. If I'm going to start putting a face to the name, the transition will need to be right.
What about your friends? Do they know who you are? I have a tight-knit group of friends who I can be myself around. At the same time, there are also a lot of close friends who don't know. It's funny because, sometimes, I'll be out at a social gathering, talking normally, and suddenly someone will say, "Dude, you sound just like this guy Ownage Pranks on YouTube!
For now, unless I'm hanging around with my own friends, I keep the 'mask' on. Where do you draw the line? I push the boundaries quite a bit in some of these calls, but I generally know where to draw the line.
I take into consideration whether I have an insider to calm them down, whether there's a reveal in the end etc - but I also have a general intuition that tells me if I'm pushing it a bit much. Being smart about not pushing things too much has been a good strategy so far. All your calls are unscripted.
