For our latest Improv Everywhere mission, we did a prank called The Mute Button which was made for a Guggenheim Museum exhibition!
We had break dancers,
dog trainers,
saxophone players,
preachers,
kids, and many more people gather in front of a park to make a lot of noise.
Then, all of a sudden everyone went silent at the same time as if someone pressed a mute button.
Everyone continued to play music, dance, and talk on the phone but no sound would come out,
and people's reactions are just so much fun!
Check out the awesome video Matty put together to see the mute button in action!

hahah, amazing. i agree with eleni...love that the sax player still got a tip!
I love Improv Everywhere. They (you, them, the involved) are creative and at the same time not mean and abusive like so many other little groups. I mean to say they engage the audience not insult and embarrass the audience. I would love to see this type of show in my little artistic hamlet.
awesome..:) love u guys....already:)
cudnt see the video:(
Genial, muy muy divertido, thanks
Fantastic!!!
Wow! That's fun!
Hehe! That's so hilarious and awesome!
