Aim to be popular! One-shot gags that will liven up the school (61–70)
Finger Severing Magic
Some of you might have done this when you were kids.
It makes your thumb look like it’s moving as if it were detached.
The trick is simple, but done well it will startle anyone watching.
It’s important to align your hands with the other person’s line of sight and make the fingers look connected at as natural an angle as possible.
Plastic bottle cap throwing
A party trick where you throw a plastic bottle cap.
You might wonder, “How is that a party trick?” but don’t underestimate it—it’s actually really cool! Just like baseball pitching, there are several types like a slider, sinker, and curve, and each one changes how the cap flies.
Even if it’s not particularly useful in daily life once you master it, it’s a cool skill you can brag about!
backflip
A flashy-looking backflip.
Recommended for those confident in their athletic ability.
First, practice until you can do a bridge.
From there, add momentum and jump to do a backflip.
Be careful practicing alone—have someone assist you.
Impersonation of Fuwa-chan
How about doing an impression of Fuwa-chan, the popular YouTuber who originally worked as a comedian? Nail her sporty outfit and distinctive hairstyle, and you’re set.
Then channel her friendly, approachable personality and interact playfully with seniors, juniors, and teachers alike!
Juggling
Juggling is one type of street performance.
You hold several balls in your hands and keep throwing them in succession, like doing otedama (traditional beanbag tossing).
The more objects you throw, the more exciting it should get.
If you don’t have balls, try it with erasers or mechanical pencils.
tablecloth trick
For a party trick you can do at school, how about pulling a tablecloth out from under items? If you’re doing it at school, it might be good to spread stationery and other supplies across a desk.
It’ll be a big hit if you succeed, and if you fail, everything turns into a funny mess.
A towel or T-shirt works for an easy version, and bringing a proper tablecloth would add an unexpected, entertaining twist.
hand wave
It’s a movement where you lightly spread both arms to the sides and send a wave from the fingertips of one hand across to the other arm.
It’s considered a basic dance move, but be sure to focus on achieving a smooth motion as if your body is moving on its own.
While it’s a simple sequence of moving each joint in order, the key to making it look beautiful is paying attention to the connections and how smoothly you can transition between them.
A recommended approach is to start with small movements while keeping smoothness in mind, then gradually increase the range of motion in each joint.
If you also coordinate your neck and leg movements, you can add a slightly eerie vibe and turn it into an even more entertaining party trick!
Magic with a Pen and an Eraser
Hold an eraser in your hand and tap it from above with a pen.
The eraser doesn’t disappear from your hand… but if you look closely, the pen has vanished instead.
This is a magic trick that uses the audience’s line of sight.
It’s easier to understand in a video, but at the moment you open the hand holding the eraser, you secretly hook the pen behind your ear to hide it.
Evangelion
Neon Genesis Evangelion sparked a massive boom in anime and film.
In 2021, Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time brought its 25-year history to a close, becoming a hot topic.
How about trying an Evangelion impression that’s widely recognized across generations? If you have long limbs and a slim build, you’ll have an especially easy time recreating it, right? There’s no need for lines—just move around while letting out unvoiced, groaning sounds!
Results announcement!Masatoshi Hamada
It’s a famous gag that Masatoshi Hamada used on a TV show.
Lots of people imitate it, and it really hypes things up when announcing game scores or making announcements with drumrolls.
At school, it would liven things up not only at events like sports days and culture festivals, but also during lotteries for deciding seats or class duties.
Don’t be shy—say it loudly and confidently!
