Origin

Ah, good ole Brian G. Hughes, a fun-loving disciple of practical joes. It was his idea to strew a package of fake diamonds in front of Tiffany’s and watch in laughter as all the greedy witnesses scrambled to scoop them up. Other pranks involved selling tickets to fictional venues and donating worthless land to historical societies for the fun of it. He also had the habit of forgetting expensive umbrellas in public places. Whenever somebody thought they hit the jackpot, they would unwind the cord and release a banner reading “stolen from Brian G. Hughes".

Effects

Allows any article in the immediate area to gain control over its own actions, moving in a variety of zany ways. Self-control is an entirely different matter, as they usually just pester audiences with outrageous pranks to elicit laughs.
