Fog effects with dry ice

When you buy ice cream to take home, you sometimes get dry ice, right? I bet many people have poured water over dry ice and played with the smoke that comes out.
Fog makes for a cool effect on a tabletop or in the dark.
With some ingenuity, you can build your own fog machine, so why not give it a try? Add it to your party setup along with colorful lights!
Making items that glow under blacklight

Black lights are perfect for setting the mood at night parties.
Using fluorescent paint and items you can buy at a home improvement store, we introduce ideas for making glow sticks that light up under black light and for making everyday items glow.
Your home or office room can transform into a sparkling club!
Express a warm welcome at the office desk! Heartwarming? Surprise ideas for the desk

It’s not easy to surprise a coworker.
After all, in most cases you only get to see them at the workplace.
So, let’s surprise-decorate their office desk! Make sure to do your homework and find out what kinds of things make them happy!
Shall we welcome the new hires with an out-of-season snowy scene? I tried setting up confetti at the office!

Offices are actually perfect places to pull off a surprise.
Abroad, it’s known as an office prank and has long been enjoyed as a playful bit of fun.
For example, you can set up confetti in the company ceiling and let it flutter down like snow over a colleague’s head.
Just be sure to build trust with the person first before you do it!
Employee introduction commercial

This is a parody commercial introducing senior employees to new graduates.
It’s a video that conveys the warm feelings of the senior staff trying their best to ease the nerves of the new hires.
Surely everyone will be able to enjoy a fun company life.
Science show

Science experiments in science class tend to be surprisingly exciting, don’t they? Don’t you remember doing experiments at school while everyone was buzzing with excitement? How about showing off some simple, fun-to-watch science experiments you can do at home? If you present something that makes people go “wow,” it’s sure to be a hit!

A surprise by Partycast

Services that act on your behalf—like rental stand-ins—are popular these days, and it seems there are even services that will provide cast members for parties or farewell/welcome events.
In this video, a party cast member dressed as a police officer shows up at the venue, freezes the atmosphere, and then lightens the mood by saying, “Just kidding!” It might be fun to hire a pro and pull off a prank this elaborate! Though, it’s worth keeping in mind you don’t want to scare people too much…
