FAKE ARREST ON STREET For a stunt that's a little hokey, but might go in your town we suggest this: Two men get into a fight on a busy street corner, more noise than blows. A car, looking like a police car, drives up with screams of sirens, etc. Man hops out, flashes his badge, handcuffs pair, and while crowd stares (you hope) he shoves ‘em into car.

Stunt can be repeated as many times a day as you care to work it—if you can arrange with police department for okay.
