‘Prank It Fwd’ Serves Up Positive Practical Jokes With Help From YouTube Stars Zach Clayton, Eleventhgorgeous

A notable web series devoted to the concept of “positive pranks” has returned for another go. Defy Media‘s Prank It Fwd, which serves up heartwarming surprises for its unsuspecting targets, has launched a new season.

The targets Defy picks out for Prank It Fwd tend to be individuals who could use a pick-me-up. Previous seasons have pulled practical jokes on cancer patients and hard-working housekeepers. This time around, viewers are introduced to Jazara Hutton, the daughter of a single mother of five. In her Prank It Fwd episode, Hutton is invited to a performance by YouTube star and musician Zach Clayton. After she is initially turned away and told her ticket is counterfeit (that’s the prank part), she is eventually invited to perform onstage in front of hundreds of Clayton’s fans.
