Talent Show Ideas

​Yo-Yo Routine
A yo-yo act is something really unique and entertaining. Yo-yoing is something not many people do these days, so the audience will be interested in seeing your tricks. If you’re an ace yo-yo artist, put together a routine of your best tricks, set it to music, and show your stuff.

Magic Act
Magic acts are a talent show classic. Your local magic shop can recommend tricks that are easy to master and don’t require lots of expensive equipment. Practice and experiment with tricks until you’ve mastered them and can pull them off with confidence. Costumes, music, and an assistant add to the overall quality of the act. Your costume doesn’t have to be fancy,

Instrument Solo
f you’ve been taking performance lessons of any kind, such as acting, singing, dancing, gymnastics, or playing a musical instrument, then you’re all set with an excellent stage act. You’ve been working hard on your lessons, so now’s the time to show off! 

Hand Clap Skit
Although a hand-clapping routine doesn’t sound like it has much to offer, it is actually a really cool act that anyone can do. Watch the video above, and you’ll see what I mean. Another plus is that no special equipment or costumes are required. Although this act is basically easy, it will take plenty of practice to master and memorize the routine.

Martial Arts
Although karate isn’t typically a stage act, it’s exciting to watch and makes a great addition to a talent show. If you know karate, put together a routine of your favorite moves. Write out the order of your routine on paper, then practice it and memorize it. You’ll get the most dramatic effect if you start with the easiest moves and progress to the tougher, more impressive moves. Breaking a board with a chop or a kick is an awesome grand finale. Wear your gi and your belt. If you like, go up to the mike before each move and tell the audience the move’s name, and give them a brief description of why and how it is used.

Pogo Stick with Jump Rope
Make up a pogo stick routine for the school’s talent show.  . It wouldn't take long for you to come up with a few more tricks, which gives one enough material for a routine. Start off simply, jumping slalom-style from side to side, and then spun in a circle while jumping. A few trickier things could added like jumping over a cardboard box and pogoing while bouncing a basketball.Maybe also (very briefly) juggle three small foam balls while jumping on the pogo stick, and for the grand finale, you could  jump rope on the pogo stick. It looks difficult and impressed the crowd, yet it was actually pretty easy, and wouldn't take long for you to throw the act together.
