Tourist Lane Pranksters Unmask Themselves

Wednesday, 09 June 2010 | by Pat's Picks

A few weeks ago, I shared the story about the gag “tourist” and “New Yorker” sidewalk lane markers that mysteriously appeared on a New York City sidewalk. Now the improv team behind the prank has come forward, with a video clip and photos of how it was done.

Improv Everywhere says its work went relatively unnoticed for a few days, until a photo posted online by a passerby went viral. The group’s video is below, and you can read the full story on the comedy group’s website.
