Recommended Party Tricks That Will Liven Up Company Gatherings (61–70)
Rubber band magic
Because it involves fine motor work with your fingers and rubber bands, it’ll look too understated if you perform it as a party trick on a big stage or front and center—and it can irritate the audience, so please be careful.
It’s best to do it at the same table where everyone can see it up close.
Apple splitting
Cracking an apple isn’t something you can do just because you have strong grip or arm strength.
With some practice and the right technique, you can split it.
Once you master this trick, you can do it anywhere as long as there’s an apple, so it might come in handy during party season.
And of course, enjoy eating the apple after you split it!
Robert Akiyama’s Creators File
The comedy trio Robert’s Akiyama stars in the “Creators File,” where he plays all sorts of characters.
Every single one is brilliant, and no matter which one you watch, you’ll end up laughing out loud.
Some of the most famous characters include child actor Michi Uesugi, wedding planner Emiko Age, and fashion advisor YOKO FUCHIGAMI.
They’re all unique and highly recommended—but that makes it hard to choose which one to do, doesn’t it?
Fork bending
Like spoon bending, this is a super nostalgic bit for certain generations, but since many modern magicians also perform it, it should resonate with people of all ages.
However, just as with spoon bending, avoid using forks from restaurants.
Doburokku
Doburock, the comedy duo that won the 2019 King of Conte, are known for their guitar-and-vocal routines—so-called musical comedy bits—and for boldly leaning into dirty jokes ever since their first TV appearances (lol).
Their unexpectedly solid guitar playing and singing also add to the laughs.
At company parties, a little light adult humor can really liven things up if there’s alcohol involved.
Sunshine Ikezaki
There are often people who just imitate Sunshine Ikezaki by being loud, but simply being noisy isn’t enough.
Get into character from the look—put on a running shirt, shorts, and a hachimaki—and make sure you’ve thoroughly learned the routine.
Go in fully prepared.
Akira 100%
If you’re in a situation where you have to prepare a banquet or entertainment in advance, you can practice and get everything ready, so you can proceed with confidence.
But if it’s sudden, it takes a considerable level of skill.
Let’s make sure no accidents occur.
If possible, it’s also a good idea to prepare flesh-colored undergarments like those worn under swimwear.
