[Banquets and Drinking Parties] A Selection of Crowd-Pleasing One-Shot Gags for Women! (61–70)
two-person robe (Nininbaori): a comedic act where two people share one kimono-like garment, with the rear person acting as the arms for the front person
Ninin-baori is a traditional performance enjoyed at parties and banquets.
The person in front wears a cloth, while the person behind plays the “hands,” controlling the movements.
In scenes where they try to make the front person drink or eat dumplings, the awkward hand motions are sure to get laughs.
Adding ad-lib touches—like missing the mouth or moving exaggeratedly—will make it even livelier.
The audience can join in by calling out or offering advice on the movements, creating a stronger sense of togetherness.
It’s a perfect idea for cherry-blossom viewing with a distinctly Japanese atmosphere.
If you can do it, that finger shape is amazing.
This is a party game that gets everyone excited when you go around asking, “Can you make this finger shape?” You use your fingers to create various shapes—like touching your index and middle fingers together, or your ring and little fingers together—that look easy at first glance but most people can’t actually do.
If you can pull off a shape that others can’t, you’ll get a lot of attention and people will ask, “How are you doing that? Show me,” making it a great conversation starter! Some are quite difficult, but with practice there are shapes you can master—so give it a try!
A bottle opener for beer made of paper?
Open a drink with just a piece of paper.
No prep like loosening the cap is needed at all! Simply fold the paper a few times to increase its strength, and by using the lever principle, you can surprisingly pop it off quite easily.
Since you only need one sheet of paper, it’s simple, and it has great impact—perfect as a handy party trick!
Eat a balloon
As an easy magic trick I’d like to recommend, here’s the classic “eating a balloon” trick! It uses a long balloon like the ones for balloon art, and you pretend to eat it bit by bit.
Surprisingly, it’s actually quite simple! In fact, there’s a small hole just above the balloon’s mouthpiece.
If you keep your finger over it until you put the balloon in your mouth, the air won’t escape; once it’s in your mouth, you can release the air through the hole and fit the entire balloon into your mouth.
Feed the balloon in little by little so it really looks like you’re eating it!
Pen Magic
An ordinary pen vanished in an instant! This is an easy pen magic trick you can do with just one pen.
In reality, the pen only looks like it disappeared—it’s simply hidden in your palm.
Hold it between your right index and middle fingers with your thumb lightly supporting it, then at the right moment tilt it toward your palm.
If you raise your index finger to camouflage it, it will look like the pen has disappeared.
If you look upward at the moment you make it vanish, you can create the illusion that the pen has vanished into thin air! It’s also recommended to do a bit of pen spinning beforehand to show confidence.
Practice repeatedly so it looks natural.
Bills multiplying? Magic trick
It’s a common magic trick where you fold a bill and tickle it against your elbow—voilà, the bill multiplies! The secret is simply to have another folded bill tucked near your neck, and when you bend your elbow, you use that hand to take it and hide it in your palm.
People with long hair, especially women, can hide it more easily.
Impersonating Medama-oyaji’s voice
The signature high-pitched line, “Hey! Kitaro!” Just hearing it is enough for anyone to know it’s Medama-oyaji.
Especially if someone who’s usually quiet performs it as a party trick, the contrast will definitely make them stand out!
