5 Tips to Successfully Houdini For the Night
Let’s talk about a classic move: “The Houdini.” We all have THAT friend who magically disappears into thin air throughout the night. Where do they go? How do they slip out unnoticed? Who stole my frozen pizza?
This is what we call “The Houdini” my friends. Have you ever thought about pulling a Houdini yourself? Below are 5 tips for executing this killer vanishing act:
1. “The Setup”
It takes a special person to Houdini. The best are typically your shady friends. Think about it, you can probably name 2-3 friends who are most likely to Houdini. I arrest my case…
Upon realizing their level of intoxication, they disappear into thin air and stumble through 7 miles of snow in nothing but a wife beater*. Therefore, “The Setup” really consists of two major factors:
A) Massive amounts of cocktails
B) Remembering which direction is North.
*Wife Beater Optional
2. “The Power Move”
The Power Move (PM) is the actual moment of execution. If done properly, nobody should notice you’re missing for 1 hour. I once witnessed a friend let our group walk 30 paces ahead and bolt. Classic Houdini…fake drunkenness as weakness, and then fight back like Rocky Balboa.
The main concept of The PM is to create a diversion, and then disappear. Tell them you’re going to the bathroom, having a smoke, or saving puppies from burning buildings. Whatever you say, make yourself a sandwich or steal a frozen pizza on the way out. You will need the extra energy to get home.
3. “Escape from Alcatraz”
Congratulations, you have successfully Houdini-ed, now you must make it home. At this point, you’re probably too intoxicated for rational decisions. Depending on the location, we suggest walking. It is amazing the ground you can cover stumbling around. If you eat it down a 15-ft ravine, make sure to save the frozen pizza.
The other alternative is to call a cab. But if you’re shady enough to Houdini in the first place, finish the job and walk it out…
4. “Be Mysterious”
People are attracted to the mysterious. A true Houdini never gives away their secrets. Once you get home, turn your phone off. Crush that pizza/sandwich and pass out. Your friends will appreciate being left in the dark. Plus it makes for a great story in the morning!
5. “Make Cool Stuff Up”
“Dude, what happened to you last night?” A Master in Houdinism always makes cool stuff up like:
Ex 1: “Dude, you didn’t see me get in the car with 4 chicks?”
Ex 2: “Stopped at White Castle, crushed 2 Crave Cases, nbd.”
Ex 3: “Totally woke up in my Moms front yard…again.”
Whatever you say, make it sound cooler than falling down a 15-ft ravine into the mud…
