A magic trick where a coin passes through a glass
This goes beyond a simple office party trick—it’s a real crowd-pleaser with the ladies, so guys, don’t miss this.
Once you get the hang of it, it’s actually pretty easy, so watch plenty of videos and learn.
It’s also great to show off at group dates or at bars where hostesses are present.
Thriller
When it comes to dances everyone knows and that go over well, besides that year’s trendy moves, classics that have gone down in history are also recommended.
For example, Michael Jackson’s dances are iconic, and Thriller in particular is a good choice if you’re dressed as a zombie—you can get by on the vibe to some extent, so it’s great when you’re short on time.
Juggling
Not like what professional street performers do, but simple juggling is something you can learn in a short time.
There are plenty of beginner-friendly juggling videos, so why not give it a try? It’s a popular act not only for office parties but also for small get-togethers.
Bubble Dance
If you’ve been asked well in advance to put on a performance at the New Year’s party, and you have time to practice and gather people, dance routines are flashy crowd-pleasers.
In particular, the “bubble dance” set to ‘Dancing Hero (Eat You Up)’ will delight not only older folks who remember the bubble era but also younger generations who know the revival hit, so it’s sure to get everyone hyped regardless of age!
haka
When it comes to group performances, dance is a classic choice—but how about trying the haka? Rugby saw a surge in excitement with the 2019 World Cup held in Japan.
The haka is originally a dance meant to intimidate the opponent.
It’s powerful and very cool.
Even people who hadn’t been interested before started watching, and the haka’s name recognition has risen significantly.
