People Divulge Their Go-To Party Tricks To Impress A Crowd Of People

Everybody loves to be the life of the party.

Right? Or is that just me?

A little attention during a bacchanal never hurt anybody.

I love to dance, so I focus on musical requests and lavish moves across the ballroom.

I've seen other people eat fire.

Everybody has a party trick or favor that they like to pull out for a good time.


Redditor bluewings23 wanted to hear about all the eccentric things we do at parties to keep the attention focused on us, so they asked:

"What’s your party trick?"

"Disappearing."

"You say hello to the host, go to a corner and play with your phone for a while, then walk out the door when no one is watching and text the the host 'sorry, I have an emergency. Thank you for the invite.' Works like a charm all the time."

Cherries

"If there are cherries at the function, I typically tell ppl I can tie a cherry stem into a knot, in my mouth, in under 10 seconds. I have won betting money doing this a number of times. And it's as simple as tying a knot in a cherry stem and putting I try in my cheek before ever mentioning that I can do it."

"Then I just swap 'em out and pull the one with the knot out. No one has ever noticed me take the second untied stem out of my mouth."

Cubed

"I solve a Rubik's cube that I find around the house without anyone noticing, and then I never admit to solving it. Sometimes nobody notices. I'm like a crazy party animal obviously."

"My buddy used to leave an unsolved cube at parties we would go to. He would wait until he saw people messing with it, or around it and would be like 'Oh cool, can I see?' and solve it in like 10 seconds. Obviously he crushed massive amounts of sex."

“Read my friend's mind”

"Me and my friend have a trick we call 'black magic.' I leave the room, and the other partygoers tell my friend an object in the room. I then come back, and state that I can 'read my friends mind' and guess the object they told her. My friend starts listing items in the room, and I answer no until the actual object comes along."

"It usually takes people hours to figure out the trick. They think it’s always the third object, or that it has to do with intonation or a sign of sorts. So we repeat the trick excluding that tell. Makes them go nuts."

"The trick is in the name. The right object is the one mentioned after a black object."

One Shot

Giphy

"In college, my party trick was to fill a red Solo cup with vodka and take it as a single shot. Probably killed a bunch of brain cells doing that."

Oof. College party tricks. Yikes. I remember nothing.

Duck and Roll

Rolling In The Deep GIF by AdeleGiphy

"I am double joined on most of my body, I just say 'autobots roll out' and twist my body in terrifying ways into a small cube."

Pistols at 14

"I got shot in the wrist by a jammed CO2 powered BB pistol at my 14th birthday party. We thought that we had gotten it out or it fell out but it had not and healed over quite quick. Twenty years later I have the power to hang magnets from my wrist that look like magic and set off very sensitive metal detectors!"

Butt-Spelunker

The Unusuals

"Opening beer bottles and wine bottles without their typical openers. ie using an empty can or lighter to open a beer bottle or banging a bottle of wine off a wall to get the cork out. Or getting out the cork of a wine bottle that’s been pushed completely inside the bottle."

"Useful party tricks are always the best and often needed!"

Alternative-Public32

Magic

"Card tricks. It’s been years and someone still wants to know how I made their card appear."

Play Turkey

"I often go to bonfires or scaled down versions where a fire is present. I can hold my hands in the fire for a much longer time than most people due to my job working with molten glass. It’s a fun way to shock people when you reach into the flames and grab a half burnt piece of wood or something like that. I have yet to play chicken with someone but I think it’s a credit to the people I hang out with that they aren’t dumb enough to try"

I gotta try a few of these.

Who am I kidding?

I'm too old.
