Trippy camera effects?

Anyone out there know of some tricks with the lens to make the shot distorted? I'm not talking about a fish eye. Currently I don't have my camera with me at the moment so I am not able to do experimenting. I would like to hear any good ideas if you have them.

cut a circle out of the middle of a piece of bologna about half the size of your lens. It'll make the shot circular, thus, fisheye

take 2 strips of duct tape, put them over your lens leaving a gap in the middle, that's how you get that wide screen look with the black bars

Attach two lenses and put jello between them. I heard somewhere that the visuals are the equivalent of marijuana.

Take the zoomy thingy off your camera and pour coloured liquid in the hole or whatever its called and put the lens back on. then smear vaseline all over the glass on the zoomy thingy in front of the hole.

Glue your lens on backwards.

Hit your lens with a hammer to get that authentic smashed lens blur with little to no postproduction.

you can draw on your lens with permanent marker, and it'll not show up fully in the video, but it's there. it causes some wicked subliminal messaging!

you could also tape a kaleidoscope to the viewfinder. when you look through the viewfinder kaleidoscope, it's super trippy. unfortunately, when you record, it doesn't record the kaleidoscope, so for true results with the kaleidoscope in the recording, you have to video record through the kaleidascope viewfinder with another camera, ya dig?

Use a long lens and flatten every image into a two dimensional plane by simplifying into simple geometric shapes. Isometric perspectives are off limits.
