The world's easiest-to-understand way to do 'plate spinning,' taught by a pro

Plate spinning is a trick where you spin a plate round and round using a single thin stick.

It’s a classic party act that’s been performed for ages as a quick crowd-pleaser! Watching the plate whirl smoothly in good balance is sure to amaze people.

There are plates made specifically for plate spinning, so be sure to use those.

The key tips are: first, hold the stick near the bottom.

Next, start spinning by guiding the tip of the stick along the inner edge of the rim on the underside of the plate.

Once it stabilizes and you stop the stick’s motion, fix the stick into the small indent at the center of the plate and keep it spinning.

Practice until you really get the hang of it.

bat breaking37rank/position

Kickboxing legend breaks baseball bats with his SHIN – Guinness World Records

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.

Matsuken Samba38rank/position

Ken Matsudaira – Matsuken Samba I, II, and III Full Medley

This is a series of songs that Ken Matsudaira performed in stage kabuki-style song shows.

In particular, Matsuken Samba II drew major attention, including being performed on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

The uniquely flashy costumes—sparkling while drawing on kimono motifs—and the exuberant, festive atmosphere are especially appealing.

The glittering outfits reflect the lighting, and because they move around, they really convey a festival vibe, so it’s important to be meticulous about the costumes.

The choreography is simple, making it a piece where you want to create the mood through the overall movement.

That’s guaranteed to get laughs.

Definitely give it a try!

Traffic Safety Lecture and Ventriloquism - 2018.04.28

Ventriloquism is actually easy to start! The trick is to talk without moving your mouth much, but at first it’s best to use a stuffed toy.

It’s also fun to imitate the voice of your pet or a favorite character.

If you mix in a few simple jokes, you might get some unexpected laughs.

Just delaying your voice a little can make you look like a real ventriloquist.

If you show it off at a year-end or New Year’s party, it’s sure to be a hit.

acrostic using the Japanese syllabary (aiueo poem)41rank/position

[Masterpiece] I tried an acrostic poem and my answers were hilariously off-the-wall lol

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!

Kendama Master: 5 Big Kendama Tricks + Bonus — A challenge video that boosts kids’ motivation and curiosity as they try them together with their moms

Kendama, a skill that many celebrities are also good at.

Plenty of people can manage basic tricks like spiking the ball on the point or landing it on the side cups.

But why not take it a step further and liven up a party with big, crowd-pleasing tricks? A classic example is the “Tsubame-gaeshi” (Swallow Return): after placing the ball on the side hole, you toss the ball again and spin the handle around in between.

There are also tricks like “Lighthouse,” where you hold the ball and balance the handle on top of it.

They may look easy in videos, but they’re not so simple to pull off! If you’ve done kendama before, you might be able to get them with a little review—so practice is key!
