High-speed finger snappingNEW!
High-speed finger snapping is a performance you can do using only your fingers.
Just showing off how fast you can snap would probably get people excited.
But since it’s a welcome party, let’s get everyone pumped up.
Try snapping your fingers at high speed to the beat of a song.
The light, snappy rhythm created by the resonant clicks of your fingers is truly something special.
A video of high-speed finger snapping in time with music even went mega-viral on social media.
It’s sure to be a performance that really livens up a welcome party or a company gathering.
This is bad, really bad.Tetsurō Degawa
Tetsurō Degawa’s gag “Yabai yo, yabai yo” (This is bad, this is bad!)—famous for his real reactions and comedy—is sure to be a hit at school! The key to a gag you can use in any school situation is that you can turn whatever’s happening right then into the joke.
Plus, the simple wording makes it easy for friends around you to understand what it means.
Try performing it as a quick one-shot gag at school and liven up the room!
Kendama
If your school has kendama equipment, by all means use it.
While it might have the image of an old-fashioned pastime, it’s actually popular as a sport—there are even world championships.
Check out some videos for reference and pull off some cool tricks.
Start by landing it on the big cup and the small cup!
A coin that passes through
A magic trick you can do with a single coin: the penetrating coin.
The coin appears to pass from the back of the hand down into the palm.
This uses a magic technique called the Muscle Pass—a skill that launches the coin using only the muscles of the palm.
wotagei
Otagei is a dance with unique choreography performed while holding glow sticks called cyalumes.
These days, there are more and more otaku students, so how about inviting your otaku friends and giving it a try? It looks flashy, making it perfect for livening up the atmosphere.
Oshibori art
Oshibori—those moist hand towels you often see at restaurants—are familiar items we use to wipe our hands.
This little trick makes use of an oshibori’s softness to shape it into a small mascot.
A rabbit is the classic choice; the key is to shape it while keeping the protruding ears and overall roundness in mind.
If you don’t have an oshibori, you can substitute a hand towel, and it might be nice to take advantage of the towel’s color or pattern in the final look.
Part of the charm is how quickly it takes shape in your hands, so practicing the steps so you can perform it casually and smoothly is important.
Y-balance
If you’re confident in your flexibility, how about trying a Y-balance pose? If you can show it off on the spot, you’re sure to impress.
You could also try doing a full 180-degree split.
The best part is that it doesn’t require any preparation, so you can do it anywhere.
