So, since some of the stunts in inFAMOUS are a pain to pull off and there is not an in-game list of all of the individual stunts I pulled together info from a number of web-sites I found by googling and supplied the links at the bottom.
I figure we can discuss tactics for each stunt and I can update this post with Spoiler tags for the different tactics or something.
Great Summary of Stunts and Estimated Difficulty Rating from the following site

Easy:
General rule of thumb is to not take over all of the districts (yellow exclamation point side-missions) before you get all of the stunts or you'll be hard pressed to find enough enemies to finish up the stunts.

Solutions added by us.
Easy:
- Crush - Kill an enemy by crushing them with an object.
Shockwave a car to land on an enemy
- Sticky Bomb - Kill an enemy by fixing a sticky shock grenade to them.
Keep in mind that the sticky grenades fall short of your aiming reticle. You'll know it's stuck to them because they'll run away with it stuck to their body
- Highfall - Kill an enemy by making them fall from a high place, usually over a ledge.
Just shoot an enemy standing near the ledge of the roof of a building so that they fall off. This should come naturally throughout the campaign
- Enviro Take Down - Kill an enemy with environmental explosion.
Simply, blow up a car next to an enemy with your regular electric shot
- Melee Finisher - Kill an enemy with the last hit of 5 hit melee combo.
I believe this is just the process of continually meleeing an enemy
- Air Strike - Kill an enemy with the Lightning Bolt move while Cole is in the air.
Try hitting an enemy on the ground while you are on a roof and before you do the final blast jump off the roof and shoot him on your way down.
- Blast & Bolt - Kill an airborne enemy with the standard Lightning Bolt weapon.
If you don't have the Shockwave upgrade that causes enemies to float then weaken them with a few regular shots then Shockwave them and hit them in the air with your regular shot
- Flying Head Shot - Aim carefully, and take out an airborne enemy with a headshot.
Similar to Blast & Bolt just use shockwave to launch enemy into the air and spray them with your regular shot OR you could shockwave them and use Precision (sniper ability) to get the headshot since it slows time a little.
- Flying Melee - Kill an airborne enemy with a melee attack.
This should come naturally during the regular melee combo one of your hits knocks the enemy into the air and the next hit of the combo satisfies this stunt
- Unquenchable Thirst - Transfer to 4 different power grinds without touching the ground.
Once you unlock the power line/railroad grind the easiest way I found to do this was on the railroad tracks. I found it easiest to transfer to the next track on the curves by jumping and holding left stick towards the next rail. This is best done before you get the trains running to avoid getting run over.
- Premature Detonation - Kill an enemy by making a bomb-equipped kamikaze enemy explode near them.
This one took me several tries for some reason. Either Shockwave one of the bomber guys (they run at you with flames on their hands) towards the other Reavers or try hitting one of the bomber guys with your regular electric shooter to explode near a Reaver
- Right Back At Ya - Use the Shockwave move to make enemy kill themselves with a grenade.
I'm not sure if this has to be a grenade enemy or if it can be a rocket enemy because I've done this numerous times to the rocket guys and did not get a Right Back At Ya notification. YMMV Shockwave one of the rocket launching enemies immediately after he fires to do this otherwise the rocket just hits the ground in front of him. Alternately, some of the regular shooting enemies will occasionally throw grenades at you and just shockwave them back towards them. There will be an onscreen grenade indicator when they are around you
- Air Sticky Bomb - Like Sticky Bomb, but kill an airborne enemy by sticking a grenade to them.
once you upgrade Shockwave, it takes a lot longer for the enemies to fall and gives you more time to peg them with a grenade -Scorch
- Insult To Injury - Stick a grenade to an enemy, but then kill them with another weapon (or melee) before it explodes.
Just like the description says. Weaken an enemy just before take-down/death and stick the grenade to them and shoot them immediately afterwards with your regular shot before the grenade explodes (you have a couple of seconds). diddy310 also suggested to stick a grenade to one of those spider robots on Warren that you kill with one shot.
- Whack A Mole - Take down a Conduit with the Thunder Drop move.
Simple, just Thunder Drop from a height to kill a Conduit. These are the enemies that are harder to kill and shoot the lighting blast down the road on Neon and Rockets and spider robots on Warren. Keep in mind you must weaken them first because a Thunder Drop alone will not take them down.
- Suspended Sentence - Kill an airborne enemy with the Lighting Storm move.
I got this on the 2nd part of the mission where you get the Lighting Storm ability after you come out of the sewers. The game prompts you to take out the incoming enemies with the Lighting Storm move as well. I used my upgraded Megawatt Hammer (aka rocket launcher) which cause enemies to float when hit followed by the Lighting Storm move. Magus8472 also suggested to use a shockwave to get the enemy into the air followed by the Lighting Storm.
- Up Close And Personal - Take down 5 Enemies in 30 seconds with just the melee. Don’t fire in-between.
I found this easiest to do on the Street Fight side mission on Warren which is kinda near the starting point. In the mission there are Dustmen and Reavers fighting eachother and just get in the mix and melee take-down 5 of them in a group. You might die but that's fine since it still counts if you get it done before you die. Alternately, as you progress in Warren the spider robots that spawn out of the streets will start coming out in groups of 5 instead of 3 and you can use them as well.
- Crowd Control - Take down 5 Enemies at once.
This started coming naturally a lot more often later in Warren story missions. Easiest to do with a grenade into a group. Also, I did this during the mission on Warren when you first gain access to the big Dustmen camp there is one point where 5 spider robots spawn and race towards you. Just throw a grenade at them.
- Splash And Crash - While in the air, Shock an enemy and then hit the same enemy with the Thunder Drop move.
Pretty easy for me, I just found the tallest build on Neon with Reavers around it and jumped off to do this. Make sure to let your finger off the L1 button before hitting square b/c I kept accidentally doing it
- Have A Nice Fall - Kill 3 enemies at once by making them fall from a high place. Again, easier with a grenade.
I've been able to find that the Tar on the water tower side missions on Neon typically supply around 3 guys on a roof-top but it's hit or miss whether you can get them to stay close enough together to Shockwave them all off with a single blastOn the leftmost side of the huge cranes in Warren (bottom left of island where the 2 peninsulas stick out) and crane closest to land if you climb up to the control level there are like 5 dustmen standing there that you can easily blow off the edge of the craneOn Warren during the Alden boss-fight at the top of the huge crane thing where John tells you to go to get the sphere when it first starts there are lots of enemies available to shockwave off the tower.
- Ride The Lightning - Kill an enemy with Precision while rail grinding.
I found this one pretty easy once I unlocked Precision (sniper) and rail grinding. Just find a Reaver on a roof near the train tracks, start a rail grind down the way heading towards the Reaver, and activate Precision (up on d-pad) at a distance and head-shot the guy.
General rule of thumb is to not take over all of the districts (yellow exclamation point side-missions) before you get all of the stunts or you'll be hard pressed to find enough enemies to finish up the stunts.
