[No more worries!!] A catalog of crowd-pleasing party tricks (21–30)
backflip
If you’re confident in your athletic ability, why not try a back handspring? If you pull it off, your act will be over in an instant and you’ll look cool doing it! The key to a successful back handspring is to swing your arms big and jump boldly backward.
Beginners will likely find falling backward scary at first, but you’ll get used to it—start by practicing falling on a soft surface.
Once you can do a back handspring, why not challenge yourself with combinations of moves?
bat breaking
Challenge yourself with bat-breaking, a feat that even holds a Guinness World Record! In bat-breaking, you kick the bat with your bare foot to snap it.
You’d normally think it’s impossible to break such a hard bat with a bare foot, right? But apparently, if you learn the technique, you don’t have to be a fighter to do it.
If you want to show off a strong, cool side of yourself, give it a try.
That said, there’s a risk of injury, and a broken bat can fly off dangerously.
Always make sure the surroundings are safe and that you’re in the right condition before attempting it.

flip board comedy
Are you familiar with “flip comedy”? Also known as “mekuri-gei,” it’s a type of performance aimed at getting laughs, where the performer sets out boards or cards with pictures or words and flips through them while doing the act.
Think of it like a picture-story show—kamishibai—and it’s easy to picture! This kind of act can be performed even without a partner, and having the flip cards makes it easier to get the jokes across.
It’s also great for parties with large groups, so if you’re looking to do a comedy bit, feel free to use this as a reference.
Simple material is recommended!
freestyle rap
If you’re looking for a cool party trick, how about some freestyle rap? The appeal of rap lies in its confident presence, word choice, and the satisfying feel of rhymes.
It might seem tough for beginners, but it’s actually a very free form, so for a party performance, it’s great to express your emotions in straightforward words.
A two-person rap battle is also recommended.
Play a beat as background music and use your words to attack your opponent—get the crowd fired up!
cheering squad
What’s being featured is a signature of the Tokyo University of Agriculture cheer squad: the Daikon Dance.
Dressed in their squad uniforms, they begin their cheer in a crisp, electrified atmosphere, but the sight of them performing while holding a daikon radish in each hand feels familiar and even brings a chuckle.
If you have a gathering or party with alumni from the university, why not showcase this beloved cheer from your alma mater? Performing it in its formal version will evoke nostalgia, and incorporating playful elements—like the daikon—can turn it into a lively crowd-pleaser.
cross-dressing
For a party trick, how about cross-dressing—the bigger the gap, the funnier it gets? Whether you turn out super cute or hilariously over the top, it’s sure to be a hit.
And once you’re dressed up, your gestures and choice of words will probably change naturally, too!
Bubble Dance
The “bubble dance” became a hot topic after the dance club from Tomioka High School in Osaka performed it.
Their sharp moves in flashy bubble-era outfits make for a stunning performance! It’s sure to liven up year-end or New Year parties, so why not give this dance a try? You could aim to perfectly copy Tomioka High School’s routine, or, if someone in your group actually experienced the bubble era, add some original moves they used to do in clubs.
Put on bubble-era fashion and give it a go!
