Top 10 one-shot gags that are a hit at parties or as entertainment, recommended for women
recorder
How about trying a party trick using the recorder that most people learned in elementary school? In school, you usually play children’s songs, which have fewer notes and seem like anyone could play them with a bit of practice.
So if you pull out a recorder at a party, many people will probably assume you’re going to play that kind of tune.
Why not turn that expectation on its head and perform a popular song that’s rarely played on the recorder? At the party, people will first be puzzled—what song is this?—and the moment they recognize it, the room will erupt with excitement.
Magic where a coin passes through
It’s surprising when a coin in your hand seems to pass through and appear on the back of your hand, right? It takes practice, but here’s a fairly easy penetration trick you can master.
All you need is a single coin.
If you have small hands, use a 100-yen coin; if your hands are larger, a 500-yen coin is fine.
Grip the coin in your left hand and move that hand quickly up and down; at that moment, secretly slide the coin out toward the thumb side and transfer it to the back of your hand.
Because the motion is so quick, it looks as if the coin has passed through your hand.
When you first place the coin on your palm, put it right in the center so it doesn’t look suspicious.
Oshibori art
Isn’t it wonderful that you can create works of art with an oshibori towel? It’s getting attention as a charming party trick full of hospitality that adds flair to the start of a banquet.
If you make cute rabbits or little ducks, you’ll warm everyone’s hearts.
With a bit of practice you can master it quickly, and the fact that you only need a single towel is appealing.
Oshibori art creates a friendly, relaxed atmosphere—give it a try!

papercutting
Here’s an introduction to “kamigiri,” a performance you can do with just paper and scissors.
This is truly a skill-based art, so it takes practice, but if you can perform it, it’s sure to make you stand out at any party.
Simply put, you present improvised paper-cut art while talking.
What you say is up to you, but it’s good to touch on the theme—what you’re expressing.
Watching hands move decisively without any preliminary sketch makes you excited, wondering what it will become.
Once you’ve chosen a theme, start by drawing a rough outline at first and practice so you can cut smoothly.
quick costume change
A mysterious quick-change performance where your outfit transforms completely in just a few seconds.
The key is to create magical moments with movements that match the rhythm and clever use of pauses.
Even those staring intently will feel compelled to applaud, instantly livening up the group date! By layering different outfits under your stage costume and incorporating cues so you can change with a pop at just the right moment, everyone’s eyes will sparkle and smiles will spread.
Show a little bit of magic and make your group date an even more fun time!
“Let’s Go! Phantom Thief Girls” danceMomoiro Clover Z
The hit all-female group Momoiro Clover Z’s “Ikuze! Kaitō Shōjo” is a great song to mimic for a singing impression.
Since you can do it with multiple people, it cuts down on the embarrassment, and just wearing different colors makes it look the part.
Another plus is that the dance isn’t too complicated.
It’s even better if you assign roles to match the members’ personalities.
Sometimes deliberately mismatching can actually get laughs and make it more fun.
Definitely give it a try at least once!
Finger tutting
Finger tutting is a dance that began gaining attention in the United States around 2008 and has since become widely recognized in Japan, using the fingers, wrists, and arms to express a variety of movements.
The waves, geometric shapes, and other patterns are astonishing—hard to believe they’re created with just the hands.
Since it requires no props and doesn’t need a large space like typical dances, it’s perfect for indoor group hangouts.
Why not start practicing steadily now so you’re ready to show it off?
