Pranks are funny if they are successful and this prank went just as planned with a hilarious reaction. Gun violence is no laughing matter but this guy was able to get prop guns from his friends working in Hollywood.

The prank was set up to scare his assistant Ali. Basically, this guy takes Ali into his barber to get a fresh haircut. A gunman walks into the shop demanding money from the barber. Ali just starts yelling and crying from the beginning. The barber reaches into his drawer for cash but pulls out the fake gun and "shoots" the robber.

Ali finally learns that it's a prank. I have to say these guys really know how to pull of an epic prank. I would be yelling and crying, too.
