Dice stacking
You can do this easily with a paper cup and some dice.
Place the dice on the table and move the paper cup quickly, scooping the dice into the cup one by one.
If the dice are standing upright inside the cup, you’ve succeeded.
By moving the cup quickly, the centrifugal force makes the dice stand up.
Impersonations of people close to you
If you keep some impressions up your sleeve, they come in handy when the moment suddenly arises to show them off.
Most people imitate celebrities or anime characters.
But at get-togethers with close friends or office parties, it’s also perfectly fine to do impressions of people you know.
Focusing on niche traits—like a friend’s catchphrases or your boss’s reaction when they’re surprised—will almost certainly get laughs.
It might be easier to imitate women, but deliberately tackling a male singer’s song to create contrast can also be a great move.
Just be sure to keep it within a range that won’t make anyone uncomfortable.
K-pop dance
K-pop dance is getting more and more exposure on TV and has become popular with a wide range of people.
If you’re a woman who wants to liven up the atmosphere not by going for laughs at a party, but by showing off your cute side, why not perform a K-pop dance? Mixing old and new hits in an omnibus-style routine—like Girls’ Generation’s “Gee” and NiziU’s “Make You Happy,” both of which sparked buzz—would be a great way to entertain people across different generations.
Depending on the scale of your party trick, teaming up with a large group to perform a full-on dance is also highly recommended!

Disneyland cast member
If you’ve ever been to Disneyland, you’ve probably seen one of the female cast members at least once.
They’re such a delightful presence that puts you in a great mood! Still, it’s true that their distinctive way of speaking and exaggerated gestures can be quite amusing to watch.
So why not try impersonating a cast member as a party piece? The moment you start talking, you’re sure to draw everyone’s attention! You could just imitate the way they speak and hype things up with some on-the-spot ad-libbing, too.
Bubble Dance
Dancing to Yoko Oginome’s “Dancing Hero” really hypes up the crowd.
If the dance is high-quality, it makes people want to say “That’s skillful!” and “Amazing!” As long as you can bring out that bubbly vibe, making it a medley works great too.
Those who remember the era will feel nostalgic, and those who don’t will find it fresh and fun.
Naomi Watanabe’s impersonation
Naomi Watanabe is a female comedian who is now active not only in Japan but around the world.
She became popular for her Beyoncé impersonations, and trying this act can really get the crowd going.
If you can imitate not just the dance but also the lip movements and facial expressions, people will take notice.
A tip she once shared herself was: “It looks like I’m moving my hips vigorously, but I’m actually just shaking my belly!”
Magic using hands
You stack your hands and grip one hand firmly, creating a side where the nails are visible and a side where they aren’t.
Normally, flipping the gripped hand over would alternate between seeing nails and not seeing them, but with a cue, both sides appear to show nails—that’s the trick.
It’s a magic trick done only with your hands, so the simplicity of not needing any other props is part of its appeal.
The secret is just switching which hand is gripping as you flip your hands, but if you focus on making the motion quick, it’s hard to notice even when performed right in front of someone—which is a fun aspect of it.
