I've tried many things before, but in the past couple days I've found that eating a packet or two of mustard tends to get rid of hiccups.

What sort of tricks do you folks have?

Take a glass of water, bend over forward, drink from the opposite side of the glass while your head is upside down. Drink the whole thing. Cured!

This is it, although I just put the water in my mouth and bend over then swallow. Swallowing water while upside down = 100% cure.

I used to do this with a straw while head was upside down. Worked really well when I was younger but haven't tried it recently.

I do the thing where you drink water while rubbing your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Success rate is pretty low tbh.

Just quickly drinking a full glass of water usually does the trick
