[No more worries!!] A Catalog of Crowd-Pleasing Party Tricks (41–50)
Matsuken Samba
Whether it’s the year-end Kohaku Uta Gassen or a massive music show on a commercial network, this “Matsuken Samba” has the power to completely transform the atmosphere of any stage.
And since it makes everyone smile in an instant, I don’t think there’s any entertainment better than this! It’s fine if it’s an all-girls team, and if you’re a man, find a woman willing to collaborate and try performing “Matsuken Samba.” There’s a lot to prepare—wigs, costumes, pom-poms to hold—but that’s part of the reward.
We’re looking forward to a stage performance that will become legendary!
wotagei
Otagei might look like people wildly swinging glow sticks around and dancing chaotically, but each move actually has a proper name, and what you’re seeing isn’t random—it’s a showcase created by combining specific techniques.
When the moves are tight and precise, it looks really cool and gets the audience pumped.
Let’s practice some otagei and put on a performance! How about trying it with a song from your favorite anime? It makes for a great show, especially when the venue is dark.
Open a bottle without using a bottle opener
Don’t you sometimes see it on TV? People opening bottle caps not with a bottle opener, but with things like disposable chopsticks.
How about showing that off as a party trick? Not just chopsticks—anything goes: metal items like belts or spoons, even a folded CD, or amazingly, a folded banknote.
Wouldn’t it look cool to line up all sorts of objects and pop bottles open one after another? If you’re performing at a drinking party, you can open bottled beer and really get the crowd going—it’s a party trick that kills two birds with one stone!
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!
The Medicine Peddler (Uirō Uri)
How about performing “Uirō-uri,” one of the Eighteen Great Kabuki Plays? That said, rather than staging a Kabuki performance, try reciting or memorizing and presenting Uirō-uri.
It’s well known as a tool for diction training used by announcers and voice actors.
If you can do this, it’s quite a skill, isn’t it? Can you deliver it smoothly—without mistakes, without stumbling, and without getting stuck?
A one-shot gag using a hat
It’s a party trick using a hat.
With a round-brimmed hat, you can toss it high and catch it on your head to wear it, spread your arms and roll it along them, roll it across your back up to your head and put it on, and so on.
It takes a bit of practice, but it’s sure to wow the crowd! Why not start practicing right away?
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!
