The book details the planning and preparation that go into Improv Everywhere's stunts and pranks. Using testimonials from the group's undercover agents, the book provides a side of the pranks otherwise unseen and hopes to inspire others to attempt similar missions.http://www.amazon.com/Causing-Scene-Extraordinary-Ordinary-Everywhere/dp/006170363X

Among the notable missions that Improv Everywhere has completed include the No Pants Subway Ride, where each January hundreds simultaneously ride public transportation across the country without pants. In the 2009 event, over 2,500 people participated across the United States. In another subway prank, 15 sets of twins rode the New York City subway dressed the same and seated opposite one another, while mimicking movements to create a Human Mirror.http://improveverywhere.com/missions/

Other notable missions include the staging of a fake U2 concert, adding 80 fake employees to a New York City Best Buy store and placing hundreds of participants in New York City's Grand Central Station, standing still to create a frozen moment.http://improveverywhere.com/missions/

Written by Improv Everywhere founder Charlie Todd and Alex Scordelis, Causing a Scene: Extraordinary Pranks in Ordinary Places is a book that reveals the behind-the-scenes work that goes into their social pranks.
