hand buzzer

Palm-hidden joke device

A hand buzzer is a small mechanical prank device concealed in the palm that produces a vibrating or buzzing sensation when shaking hands with an unsuspecting person.

The classic novelty shop item uses a coiled spring activated by pressure: He surprised me with a hand buzzer when we shook hands.
