[No more worries!!] A Catalog of Party Tricks That Will Liven Things Up (61–70)
papercutting
Here’s an introduction to “kamigiri,” a performance you can do with just paper and scissors.
This is truly a skill-based art, so it takes practice, but if you can perform it, it’s sure to make you stand out at any party.
Simply put, you present improvised paper-cut art while talking.
What you say is up to you, but it’s good to touch on the theme—what you’re expressing.
Watching hands move decisively without any preliminary sketch makes you excited, wondering what it will become.
Once you’ve chosen a theme, start by drawing a rough outline at first and practice so you can cut smoothly.
Magic using a smartphone
A heart-pounding magic trick that lets you know someone’s smartphone passcode.
You can use it as a magic performance, but it’s also a handy technique if you secretly want to find out a family member’s or partner’s passcode.
It uses the iPhone’s calculator: first, have the person enter their passcode so the performer can’t see it, then have them add a random four-digit number.
After that, by pressing the minus button and then the equals button, you can immediately see the originally entered number—taking advantage of how the calculator works.
balloon art
It’s a classic act that you often see at amusement parks and shopping streets, performed as street entertainment.
However, the range of creations possible with balloon art is expanding every day, from simple pieces you can make with just a few steps to much more complex ones.
If you look it up, you’ll find many methods, making it an art form with limitless possibilities.
Rubik’s Cube time attack
Everyone, have you ever thought about doing a Rubik’s Cube time attack at a party? Not only does it look cool to manipulate the colorful cube quickly, but the sense of accomplishment when you finish is unbeatable.
It’s not exactly easy, but if you use little pockets of free time to practice steadily, you might be good enough to show off at a year-end or New Year’s party! You’ll definitely surprise people and liven up the event!
Cossack dance
The Cossack dance, a traditional Ukrainian dance.
It requires no special preparations—just your body—and it really gets the crowd going, so I recommend it.
However, it does require strength and core stability, so it’s a skill you can’t pull off without solid practice beforehand.
That said, boldly announcing “I’ll do the Cossack dance!” and then failing completely might actually get some laughs, too.
flash mob dance
Flash mobs that bring unexpected emotion to proposals and parties are a tempting choice for entertainment.
Yamauchi from the comedy duo Kamaitachi pulled off a huge gag by attempting a flash mob all by himself at his partner Hamaie’s wedding.
We wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re very brave… Since it’s mainly dancing, it may require a longer practice period than other performances.
It’s reassuring if you have a few people with dance experience.
For company events, it might be fun to divide into teams—like a junior team and a veteran team—and perform that way!
Juggling
When I was a kid, I remember juggling a soccer ball: my friends would do it endlessly and make it look easy, but when I tried, I couldn’t manage it at all.
Even among people who played soccer, some are good at it and some aren’t.
Those who can do it handle the ball so effortlessly, but in reality it’s quite hard and takes practice.
Once you get the hang of it, though, you can show it off as a special skill—and it makes for a nice bit of exercise, too!
