Ideas you can use for surprise segments at year-end parties: A collection of crowd-pleasing performances (41–50)
snow machine
It’s a device where snow sprays out from a large snowman mascot, forcefully showering the area with snow.
There’s a tank on the back of the snowman; by putting in the snow-making material, foam that looks like snow is sprayed out.
A key point is that it sprays from the insides of the snowman’s palms, creating a magical effect as if the snowman is making snow appear from its hands.
If the area around the nozzles gets stained with foam, it won’t look magical and the appearance will suffer, so be sure to find an angle that hides them well.
Smoke effect
Smoke creates a fantastical atmosphere, making it perfect for surprises at events.
When combined with lighting, the beams can form lines and patterns, and the presence of smoke helps produce a mystical ambiance.
It’s also great for social media, so more people are using it.
While smoke is essential for effects, the amount you use will vary depending on the venue size and the situation.
Please make sure to use it safely, ensuring adequate ventilation.
Dream Candle
A two-birds-one-stone idea that lets even those who couldn’t fully enjoy Christmas savor it together at the year-end party.
Pick up some inexpensive candles from places like Don Quijote, and let’s have a fun end-of-year sendoff together.
When you light them, an unexpected surprise will kick in.
Bubble shower
A scene with countless soap bubbles gently floating in place, their reflections of light leaving a strong impression.
One of the major characteristics of soap bubbles is that they let light pass through, so outdoors the sunlight, and indoors the lighting, are clearly emphasized.
There are various machines available, but the size of the bubbles they produce differs depending on the model, so it’s important to choose one that makes bubbles in the size you want to float.
To make them rise higher, the durability of the bubbles is also important, so it might be a good idea to pay attention to the solution you use.
Piano Relay
When you do a surprise piano relay, the entire venue becomes united by the sound of the piano, creating a truly wonderful atmosphere—it’s moving, isn’t it? For a piano relay, it’s best to take turns playing songs that everyone knows.
If you discuss in advance who will play which part and rehearse so the relay flows smoothly, the performance on the day will also feel emotional and memorable.
Planning the tempo and any special touches or staging can make it even more exciting.
