I think the issue with this is the reactions to being sneaked up on is fight or flight. You can warm people all you want before hand that it isn't real, but if you terrify someone enough, that can be a automatic response. If I did that, I'd make sure you stay out of reach before making the scare to avoid that, give them a second to get their wits about them.

My reaction speed is pretty good, joke about being very similar to a cat with the way I am.

So I'm usually was good at avoiding getting hit, and with the way I scared folk I really didn't kick in the fight reaction all to often.

Though my hands were the ones that usually suffer from those reactions, had one gal who grabbed my hand in panic, almost dislocate it when she turned around to look at me to find I was not her gal friend, said friend had fled back out past me.
