You are so transparent

When I was a kid, someone gave a a book called Scrambled Chickens (subtitled "and 74 other eccentric how-to's"). My best friend Jonathan Harwell and I thought this was HILARIOUS. The how-to's included things like "How to sound insane:" With instructions including "Say things like 'How does a chicken?' and 'Which would you rather be, an orange?'.

In one how-to, the book gave detailed instructions and a recipie for a potion to make you invisible. I believe it called for, among other things, one tablespoon of Silly Putty. (Side effect: you will also be able to pick up cartoons with your forehead.)

I never tried this recipie, but it might have worked out better for this guy.

From the Metro (UK):

In the long list of criminal dos and don'ts, one of the top pieces of advice – above not robbing a CCTV camera shop, or not forging banknotes with running ink – has to be 'never rob a bank thinking that you're invisible when you're not actually invisible.' Sadly for one man in Iran, he made just that mistake – and as a result, police in Tehran are hunting a fake sorcerer who convinced the man he was invisible and so could rob banks safely.
