A one-shot gag using business cards
Let me introduce a quick party trick using a business card.
First, prepare a 100-yen coin and a business card.
Place the business card on top of your index finger (be careful not to let it touch any other fingers or your palm).
Gently place the 100-yen coin on the card… then flick away only the business card with your finger.
If the coin stays balanced on your index finger, you’ve succeeded.
It feels like a little magic trick, and you can practice it in spare moments.
If you practice ahead of time, you’ll be ready to show it off when a chance comes up, like at a year-end party.
air guitar
Ahead of the year-end party, I’d like to introduce air guitar as a quick party trick.
It’s simple: pretend you’re holding a guitar and put on a guitarist’s performance.
Let go of any sense of embarrassment—if you fully commit, you’ll actually feel less self-conscious in the end.
Memorize your key “hits” and “holds” so you don’t miss the crucial moments.
Beyond that, feel free to dance, exaggerate the reactions of your favorite guitarists, and incorporate various moves to create your own original style.
keep-away
That ball-spinning trick you often see basketball players do—where the ball whirls on top of a single finger—looks easy but is actually quite difficult, and anyone who can pull it off looks pretty cool! The keys to spinning the ball are making it rotate quickly and keeping your finger steady.
Another method is to catch a groove on the ball with your fingernail and spin it using the nail.
Once you get the hang of it, try adding tricks like switching hands while the ball is spinning, popping it up to pass it under your leg, and mixing in other variations!
Our ancestors live on.

♪ Original Song – Yano Theater – Yano Theater
This is a quick gag that rewrites the children’s song “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad”! The theme is ancestors, so it’s perfect to perform at year-end and New Year gatherings when relatives get together.
The key to a one-shot gag is to do it confidently without feeling embarrassed.
Try acting out the distinct traits of each character—me, my dad, my grandpa, my great-grandpa, and so on.
The charm of this gag is the kind of laughter that builds and hits you later, so having various versions might make it even more entertaining!
card boomerang
Men never seem to lose their boyish hearts—even as adults, they still love the things boys love! So how about a card boomerang that flies like a ninja’s throwing star? The technique is simple: balance the card on your thumb and flick it with your index finger to launch it.
That said, you might not get it right at first, so practice is necessary.
As you improve, you’ll even be able to catch the card you threw yourself—once you reach that level, it’ll be more than good enough to show off as a neat party trick!

Smoke from the mouth
It’s a quick gag where you exhale and “smoke” comes out even though you haven’t put anything in your mouth.
The trick is making the water vapor in the air visible.
Watch the video for reference and find your own technique.
It’s nice that you can perform it without preparing any props.
Eight Ring
A visually intriguing performance that manipulates hoops to music.
The way they glide smoothly makes them seem almost alive.
Precise hand movements are key to keeping each hoop steady.
It’s something people of all ages, from adults to children, can enjoy.
