[No More Worries!!] Hidden Talent Catalog That Gets the Crowd Going (11–20)
tile breaking
When you think of breaking tiles, you might picture a karate expert, but it’s actually a party trick anyone can try! If you use special tiles called “noshi-gawara,” it looks dramatic and is sure to impress the crowd.
But you can’t just smack the tiles at random.
Practicing how to break them is important, too.
To make it look effective, you need to be creative not only with your technique but with your presentation as well.
Even if you don’t usually exercise, with proper preparation and practice you can definitely surprise everyone! And to avoid injuries, careful safety measures in both your prep and performance are essential.
tablecloth trick
The tablecloth pull could be called the king of party tricks.
It’s a classic that many people still attempt today.
The nerve-wracking suspense is thrilling, and combined with the risk of failure, it’s guaranteed to liven up any party.
Since this trick is currently being explored with a wide range of ideas, it might be good to bring your own originality and try something fresh.
A magic trick where a business card turns over
It’s pretty cool to casually perform some table magic at year-end or New Year’s parties, right? For you, I recommend this trick using business cards.
It creates a twisted business card where the left side is the back and the right side is the front—something that seems impossible.
The secret lies in using two business cards and cleverly folding, tearing, and concealing the part being torn.
With a bit of preparation in advance, this can become a quick showstopper that will surely amaze everyone.
paper flower
Here’s how to make a beautiful rose easily with construction paper.
Fancy party tricks are great, of course, but if you casually whip one up out of nowhere like this, I think people around you will be amazed! Using colored construction paper makes it even more vibrant.
crush an apple by hand
This is a straightforward act with no tricks—just crushing an apple barehanded using pure grip strength.
From what I’ve looked up, it requires around 70 kilograms of grip strength, so if you’re confident in your arm power, why not give it a try? A tip is to choose a smaller, easier-to-grip apple.
It’s a bit of a shocking destruction show, but if a woman with hidden strength pulls it off, it might be even more impactful!
manzai (a traditional Japanese stand-up comedy duo performance)
For your hidden talent, how about manzai comedy—the kind you often see on TV or in theaters? Imitating famous comedians is great, but one of the strengths of manzai is that, like in this video, you can use everyday happenings, embarrassing moments, or even secrets you’ve kept from others as material.
Give it a try and create an original routine!
Stomp
Stomp is a performance that creates rhythm using the body—foot stamping, hand clapping, voice, and more.
It originally came from one of the rhythms used in jazz dance, expressed through actions like stomping the feet and clapping hands, and it’s sometimes incorporated as part of street dance.
Many pieces are dynamic and humorous, so feel free to use that as inspiration when assembling your own! Not only the body but also items like deck brushes, oil drums, boxes, and pots are used, so it’s fun to make music with familiar objects around you.
I tried singing with a voice imitation
Impressions that appeal to any era and any generation.
Among them, if you can perform by mimicking a distinctive voice and belting out a song, it’s sure to be a hit.
For example, how about singing a popular song among young people using Doraemon’s voice that everyone knows? Doraemon’s voice can actually be done by almost anyone if you tense your throat and boldly produce a big, gruff voice.
It’s said that your vocal range can be expanded with practice and effort, so just ride the vibe and have fun!
tongue twister
Classic tongue twisters that combine simple yet tricky-to-pronounce words are great, but the video takes a slightly different approach: it challenges you to see how quickly you can read a large, pre-written passage without stumbling.
It might also be fun to try it with multiple people and compete to see who can finish reading the fastest.
Akira 100%
Akira 100%, who won the R-1 Grand Prix and has appeared in numerous works as an actor.
Speaking of his act, it’s the tray routine where he hides the important parts with a silver tray.
He skillfully switches hands, flips the tray front and back, and performs various techniques to ensure the back side of the tray is never visible.
Since you can’t be completely naked in public places like shops, try showcasing a cleverly crafted tray performance that keeps things thoroughly covered while still looking reasonably safe! Use your performance to bring smiles to many people.
