We used to do very much the same thing in junior high school. Some kids
would simply take a male plug and connect the brass and chrome plated
screws inside with a short piece of wire. You plug that into an outlet
and it causes a dead short and the breaker trips. No need for an
electrical box or a contactor, and it's small enough that you can easily
conceal it in your pants pocket.

We would use that plug to short out the outlet where the overhead
projector was plugged in so the teacher couldn't use it.



"such nice boys!"

Your father and I are so proud.
