balloon art
Balloon art is a fun performance that uses balloons to create a variety of shapes.
The possibilities for forms and designs are endless, making it enjoyable for everyone from beginners to seasoned veterans.
Twisting balloons into cute animals and flowers has a magic-like charm, and the sense of accomplishment when a piece is finished is exceptional.
If you keep at it for a year, your skills will improve dramatically, and even first-timers will be able to create unique works.
Balloon art combines not only humorous one-liners but also artistic expression—why not give it a try?
Shun Shun Clinic P’s ‘Hey Hey Doctor’
This is a signature routine by Shunshun Clinic P, a popular comedian who also works as a doctor.
It’s quite well-known among young people, so many of you may have heard of it.
When performing this bit, dressing in doctor-style attire will likely make it more exciting.
It might also be fun to film a video dancing with your coworkers, like in this clip, and show it to others.
Finger dance
Some of you may have seen it go viral on video-based social media like TikTok: finger dancing.
Instead of using your whole body, it’s a performance where you dance with just your hands to the music.
One reason finger dancing is recommended is that you can perform it in a small space.
At a drinking party, you can even show it off right from your seat.
You can just play the music from your smartphone, too.
You can practice at home, so it’s super easy to get into.
There are plenty of beginner-friendly lesson videos on YouTube and other platforms, so give them a try!
Things you can do with a 10-yen coin
We’ll introduce various things you can do with a 10-yen coin! Beyond using it as money, there are many other ways to put a 10-yen coin to use.
For example: opening a snack bag, cleanly removing a bottle cap, or even using it as a makeshift heat sink for a computer! They’re low-key party tricks that require a bit of setup, but if you write down what you’re doing in a notebook and show it as you go, you can present them like an assembly line.
It’s recommended for those who aren’t confident at speaking! Playing some music while you perform is a nice touch, too.
OL things everyone relates to
If you’re an office lady, you’ve probably experienced the situations in Rei Maruyama’s skits.
They range from laugh-out-loud bits to slightly dark humor, but they’re packed with moments that make you want to shout, “So true!” If you throw yourself into the performance without embarrassment like Rei Maruyama does, it’s guaranteed to be a hit! And if you work in a female-dominated office, it might resonate even more.
Glam makeup on male employees
How about a quick comedic act where the women put makeup on the men? Since men are usually bare-faced, the act of getting made up itself feels fresh, and watching their faces transform is quite entertaining.
It could be fun to do a neat, natural look and a flashy, gyaru-style look and compare the two.
You could also have several guys made up and hold a cross-dressing contest.
A magic trick that multiplies banknotes
It sounds like a dream that you could just rub money on your elbow and knead it to make it multiply! How about showing off a trick like that? Unfortunately, this is just a magic trick, so the money doesn’t actually increase—there’s a secret.
First, prepare two bills.
Fold both of them into small squares.
Hide one inside your shirt collar.
During the trick, while rubbing a bill against your elbow, quickly take out the hidden bill and slip it into your hand.
Finally, when you knead the bill, bring the two together to make it look like the money has multiplied.
It’s harder to catch if you have long hair, so this is especially recommended for women with long hair!
