Best prank ever (part 2): Stopping time in London
My recent post about Improv Everywhere's prank at Grand Central has been off the charts: it just broke the 1 million hits mark and gathered 1,200 forwards and 60-odd comments in just three weeks.
So backed by popular demand, I bring you part two of the performance-art group's "frozen in time" prank. This time, it's London and because a lot more people showed up, it looks every more impressive.

I was actually in the London one, and lifted a bloke's wallet, he didn't move! Only had 20 quid the cheap bastart, but it was a moving experience nonetheless

WOW!
what a way for the masses to connect with each other and with those not participating. A wonderful way to bring it all together.
Good BONDING!

So could this actually happen simultaneously around the globe using this comment section to organize it?

I was emailed the link to this site and it's the most interesting thing I have seen in ages, to have this done in a busy part of London is an incredible feat. Brilliant and well thought out, it's interesting seeing other peoples reactions.

These always make me cry because of their beauty and simplicity. But then I see people whipping out their cellphone cameras, and I have to cackle a bit. You're stopping time with a camera. If it's already stopped, it's not much of a shot! ;-)

Just fantastic! My hats off to everyone that participated. How I would have loved to have been there to see it in person. THANK YOU!!!!

Just a wonderful idea and great participation. I also enjoyed Grand Central Station more. I felt there was more intrigue and questions and more communication with the non participants.
Keep up the good work
