For men. Simple, exciting one-shot gags that shine in party skits and performances [2026] (41–50)
Convenience store entrance chime on guitar
When it comes to quick one-shot gags you can do with just one instrument, convenience store entry chimes are a classic.
If you play FamilyMart’s entry chime on the guitar, it gives off a mature, “Is this a stylish convenience store?” kind of vibe, and the crowd gets into it.
Trying out various convenience stores’ entry chimes on the guitar is also highly recommended.

Tennis racket party trick
It’s a performance where you place a racket on the handle of another tennis racket and control it freely with exquisite balance.
With the racket face—the wider part—on top, even just keeping it stable looks like an advanced technique, doesn’t it? What you do from there is also important; if you rotate the balanced racket once, you can probably create an even bigger impact.
It does require careful control of force, but proceeding with a relaxed expression will help convey the feeling that you’re handling it effortlessly, which I highly recommend.
devil stick
This is a performance using three sticks.
You hold two in your hands and rhythmically tap the third to keep it floating in the air while performing tricks.
Its lively look makes it fun to watch.
First, practice keeping the stick suspended in the air.
We recommend performing it with music playing.
A one-shot gag with a hat
Here’s a party trick recommended for people with great balance or those experienced in dance who are good at controlling their bodies.
First, prepare a hat—preferably a bowler or fedora—and to the music, take the hat you’re wearing and roll it in a line from your shoulder across the back of your neck to the opposite shoulder.
Next, bend at the waist and roll the hat from the back of your neck down your back to your waist and catch it.
Then roll it back up from your waist to your back, over the back of your neck, and put the hat on again.
If you add some finer moves and groove to the music like a performance, it will look even more professional.
Palm reading
Palmistry is said to be unique to each person, with no two palms the same.
In fortune-telling, practitioners read the past and future from the individual characteristics of each palm.
Palm reading is also considered a form of statistics, so if you thoroughly learn the literature, you can play the role of a fortune-teller.
Because there are many detailed categories, if memorizing everything is difficult, it’s recommended to focus on specific areas like financial luck or health.
While it’s possible to consult a book as you read palms, it seems more engaging to memorize the material well, refine your delivery, and carry yourself like a true fortune-teller.
Light a match with nunchucks
Light the match that’s fixed to the nunchucks.
It takes practice to handle the nunchucks the way you want, but if you pull it off, it’s a great crowd-pleasing trick.
Throwing in some Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee impersonations might make it even better.
Human beatbox
Human beatboxing is making music using only your breath and voice.
There are many beginner tutorials on YouTube and other platforms, so be sure to check them out.
Start by practicing the sounds of individual instruments one by one.
Performing a popular song will get the crowd excited.
