This Prank Shows The Perfect Way To Fall Asleep In Class Without Being Noticed

All students will know the temptation of falling asleep in a lecture when it’s either incredibly boring, or you’re feeling the pain of a heavy one from the night before.

But YouTuber Zach King seems to have mastered the art of not getting caught snoozing - and it’s all down to one tactically placed cardboard cutout.

In a genius video, Zach demonstrated his method by strategically placing a blown-up image of himself at the front of his desk, while wearing the same clothes behind it.

It’s a seriously impressive feat, but one YouTube commenter claims to have cracked the secret behind it.

They wrote: ‘Pretty sure it looks so good because it is using compositing. The photo was never printed. It’s a still from when the camera was still on the tripod and he was “attentive”’.

There’s that of course - but it’s also worth noting that the video was filmed in front of a group of would-be extras who were in on the joke, but it doesn’t stop the whole thing from being any less impressive.

With that in mind, it might just be the saviour of your sanity for the upcoming semester. Fancy giving it a go?
