Instantly get rid of by hiccups by plugging both your ear holes and your nostrils and gulping water 3 times.

CaptionA friend recently showed me this trick and it has worked 100% of the time to get rid of hiccups. I start by plugging my ear hole with my thumb and my nose with my pinky on both sides and have someone pour water into my mouth. It is extremely effective but I am not sure why this works.
