[Never Struggle Again!!] A Catalog of Crowd-Pleasing Party Tricks (51–60)
Do 〇〇 without burping after chugging a carbonated drink
Chugging a carbonated drink and then doing something without burping is a classic hidden talent bit! The standard ones are reciting all the Yamanote Line stations or naming all the prefectures.
For a twist, singing is also recommended! Trying to sing while holding in a burp is pretty tough, but it’s sure to be funny.
By the way, whether you manage to hold it in and succeed or you burp right away, it gets laughs either way, so it’s a very rewarding routine!
acrostic using the Japanese syllabary (aiueo poem)
Have you ever tried an “aiueo” acrostic? It’s surprisingly fun! You make a sentence starting with a word that begins with “a,” then the next person continues with a word that begins with “i,” and so on.
The rules are simple, but it’s sure to lighten the mood! If you’re good at it, craft a clever sentence and amaze everyone.
But don’t overthink it—what’s great is that everyone can have a lively, enjoyable time together.
Give it a try sometime!
Yasumura, Always Cheerful
Why not try out the unique comedy style of Yasumura from “Tonikaku Akarui Yasumura”? With his catchphrase, “Don’t worry, I’m wearing them,” you can showcase expressive acting and innovative, body-centered humor.
It’s guaranteed to liven up office parties or gatherings with friends! There’s even an English version of the phrase, so you can build a sense of unity with the audience.
It’s perfect when you want to add a comedic touch.
The key is not to be shy—go all in.
It’ll work like magic to put instant smiles on people’s faces!
air guitar
Since comedian Yōsuke Daichi of the duo Dainoji won the world championship in 2006, air guitar has become a full-fledged mainstream phenomenon in Japan.
It’s all about pretending to play as if you’re holding a guitar—everything is “air”—but when you watch someone really good, there’s a sharpness to it that makes it look like they’re actually performing, and you can’t help but get into it yourself.
How about trying air guitar as entertainment at your next event? It takes a bit of practice, but the cost to practice and perform is zero—you can do it with just your body.
Pi recitation
Memorize lots of digits of pi and casually recite them.
It may seem low-key at first glance, but hardly anyone memorizes this much, so people will be impressed! Once you’ve learned it, it’s a one-shot trick you can show off in all sorts of situations.
Why not try memorizing it yourself?
Plastic bottle cap throwing
A party trick where you throw a plastic bottle cap.
You might wonder, what’s so special about that? Don’t underestimate it—it looks really cool! Just like baseball pitching, there are several types like sliders, sinkers, and curves, and each flies differently.
Even if it’s not particularly useful in daily life once you master it, you can still brag about it as a cool special skill!
Bottle flip
Bottle flipping is a game where you throw a plastic bottle filled with water, make it rotate once, and have it land upright.
It sounds easy when you put it into words, but it’s actually quite tricky! Skill matters, and things like how much water you put in the bottle also seem to make a difference.
It looks cool if you can pull off high-difficulty tricks, like landing it on top of a ball!
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!
Fluttering Tissue Grab
As the title suggests, it’s an activity where you catch falling tissues with chopsticks.
Simply grabbing them can feel a bit underwhelming, so try spicing it up: make it a head-to-head challenge, use more awkward tools, or add penalty games—experiment with various twists to make it more exciting.
Illusion Dance
A dance that makes you think, “Something’s off,” even though they’re just walking or dancing normally.
Dancers wear different-colored outfits on the left and right sides, and those colors line up with the person next to them, making the movements look strange.
For some reason, even just walking is funny.
As long as you have the costumes, anyone can do it easily!
