Improv Everywhere @Christmas

There is a great NYC group called Improv Everywhere. They stage what they call missions, which they describe as making unusual things happen in the usual places. Some of their more famous missions include dozens of people shopping at a Best Buy wearing blue shirts and khakis, dozens of people freezing in place for five minutes in Grand Central Station, and riding the subways pantless.

This year they decided to show some love to a Salvation Army bell ringer. They called this mission the Guerrilla Handbell Strikeforce. Fortunately, they always use a lot of hidden (and not so hidden) cameras to record their missions. You can see the result below.



Frequently their goal is to show up out of nowhere, do their thing, and blend back into the crowd. In this case, the goal was to make someone's day.

Enjoy, and hope you all find a little magic during the holidays. Better, yet, make a little magic for someone else.
