Party-Pleasing Hidden Talents at Work [2026] (41–50)
Oshibori art
For those who prefer something they can show off in a short moment rather than a flashy party trick, we recommend oshibori art.
It’s a hidden talent where you use a wet hand towel (oshibori) to fold and create various shapes, like origami.
There are plenty of tutorial videos on YouTube, so try searching for them.
imitation
Impersonations are a classic for one-shot gags and hidden talents.
You can use all kinds of material—trending celebrities, anime characters, animals, and more.
The key to getting laughs is to think about the audience where you’ll perform and choose material that will land with them.
Illustration production
Videos where manga artists or animators simply draw illustrations tend to get a lot of views, right? So, if you’re good at drawing, how about showing your illustration process? It’s a slightly unusual skill, so viewers are sure to find it interesting.
In addition to copying existing anime and manga characters, it might be good to draw people riding bicycles, swimming, and so on.
Things that illustrators do casually—like where they start drawing from or how they come up with a composition—can seem fresh to others.
If you have a large screen, it would also be nice to edit the drawing process into a concise video and play it.
air guitar
Air guitar is a great party trick for people who can’t play the guitar but want to be a guitarist.
In fact, it’s surprisingly deep—there’s even a world championship for air guitar.
Put on your favorite song as background music and strum the guitar in your heart!
tissue art
With just a single tissue, you can enjoy a delightful party trick! Simply fold and roll it, and you’ll quickly create a rose or cute little animals.
If you show everyone how the fluffy tissue transforms right before their eyes, it’s sure to liven up any party.
The easy prep and cleanup are another big plus.
Pull this off as a surprise at a company party or event, and you’ll be the center of attention in no time!
balloon art
Balloon art involves making various creations using balloons.
Since small children love it, it’s especially recommended for company parties where kids are also attending.
There are plenty of tutorial videos on video sites, so pick something you think you can manage and give it a try.
piano
Playing the piano is a great party trick to get the crowd going! If you learned piano as a child, this is your chance to show off your skills.
Play a song everyone knows, and the whole room will be sure to come together and get excited.
Just keep in mind that this only works at venues with a piano or ones where you can bring in a digital piano.
To avoid the disappointing situation of “I practiced, but outside instruments weren’t allowed,” be sure to check in advance.
