The humble house brick is one of the most useful tools known to man. Not only can it be used to create towering, skyline dominating monoliths, it can also be used as a handy intimidating tool.

Just lob a brick through a neighbours window, 70's gangster-style and see how their irritating phone calls asking you to turn your music down or shut your dog up soon cease.

You'll also be astounded at how quickly you're hauled up before the courts on a criminal damage charge but that's by the by. There is another way to intimidate without causing bodily or property harm and that's to use our Fake Brick for all your roughing up needs.

With its foam construction, even repeated head-battering will produce no lasting injuries, unless your subject has a particularly brittle head.

Throwing your Fake Brick at irritating neighbours windows is now a risk-free proposition, since it'll ricochet off their window, making them look a tad silly for diving for cover behind the sofa.
