    Holding your breath is guaranteed to work, its just a matter of technique.
    Hold your breath, to the point where your lungs want you to exhale, lean into the urge to gasp, but dont let the breath escape from your throat, just let it gently fully return to your lungs, then repeat, do that for a few seconds then finally exhale and resume normal breathing.
    This is from someone who gets the hiccups *a lot*.
    That gagging to exhale stale air and inhale fresh air is the thing you're looking for, once the air in your lungs is stale enough, your lungs just want it out... supressing that reflex/impulse for a few seconds to prolong the gagging is the solution.

    Actually, if you just pull down on either of your earlobes, hold it for 10 seconds or so, and the hiccups will stop. Guaranteed!

    My method is to lie down on the floor. The surface shall be as plain as possible, no cushions, no blankets, only rug or carpet. My hiccups are connected to twitch in my stomach. Especially if I have just eaten an apple.

    Nah... just grab your L hand and massage the middle joint of your middle finger. "Roll" it around with the thumb and 1st finger on your R hand. It stops hiccups sooner!

    Interesting info but why have the lame out-of-work actor sneaking up on people? If this was meant for children you wouldn't be talking about digital rectal massage.
