A South African woman has left her American husband completely baffled with a brilliant floating fork prank that has social media users in stitches.
@TheLoganFamily, an interracial couple known for their fun content living in the Western Cape, shared the hilarious video on 15th July with the caption:
"He was shook 🤣," showing how a simple kitchen trick can create pure magic.
In the video, the wife demonstrates her clever setup by slicing a potato and inserting two kitchen sticks into it. She then places the potato in a bowl with the sticks positioned just above the rim, balancing a fork horizontally on the sticks. After draping pasta over the fork and sticks to hide the support system, the floating fork illusion is complete.

Benefits of fun in marriages
According to the USU Extension, playing together as a couple serves many important functions beyond just having fun. Research shows that playful activities increase bonding, communication, conflict resolution, and relationship satisfaction between partners.
Play can promote spontaneity when life becomes routine and serves as a reminder of positive relationship history. Having fun together helps couples feel positive emotions, which increases relationship satisfaction and gives hope when working through difficult challenges.

Some studies have found that having fun together is the most important factor in developing friendship, commitment, and overall marital satisfaction. As Plato once said,
"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation."
Couples often start relationships with lots of fun activities, but lose that spark over time due to work, responsibilities, and daily challenges. However, making time for play is essential for maintaining a strong, healthy relationship.
Briefly News spoke to Psychology expert Penny Holburn regarding fun in relationships and how to add it to a relationship. She stated:
"Safe relationship pranks work best when you know your partner's sense of humour and boundaries well. The surprise element releases bonding hormones that strengthen your connection. Always ensure the prank is harmless and something you can both laugh about together afterwards. The goal is shared joy, not embarrassment or confusion."
