The musicat Starlight Express has something similar. One of the 
performers throws a brick into the audience - but it's actually chained 
to his custume. Which is very obvious, but people still flinch... Quite 
amusing really.

But then, if you ever get to see Tap Dogs (which I highly recommend), 
the final scene involves them tap dancing in a tray of water and 
pretending to soak the audience at every step - although somehow nobody 
actually gets wet...
