Dublin lad pulls off brilliant prank on his mam convincing her to scream into a cooking pot to 'trap the sound'

This is the moment a Dublin lad convinces his mother to 'trap her scream in a pot' as part of a cruel prank.

Stoneybatter native, Mark, decided to mess with his mother Joanne and convinced her she could trap the sound of her scream inside a cooking pot.

At the beginning of the video, he said to his mam: "It does work, I'm telling you now, I've seen it.

"I'm telling you now, do it."

Joanne doesn't seem convinced but decided to trust her son and give it a go.

She is seen leaning over and, as loud as she can, screams into the pot then quickly covers it over.

The trusting mother waits a few moments before she opens the pot and - in the sound of silence - realises she has been pranked by her son.

As Mark laughs at his mam, Joanne can be seen with a smirk on her face - raging she has been fooled.
