Think about it, just take a spoon full of it when u get them, and don't have to hold your breath for 100 seconds or do any of the stand on your head mumbo jumbo.
Answer:
Hiccups are caused by spasms of the diaphram. if someone invented a medicine to stop spasms, it would relax the muscle thereby making it hard or impossible to draw a breath. Most of the "cures" tend to be things that regulate your breathing and require concentration. So it is basically mind over matter and strong concentration.
All you do is take deep breaths and they should go away.
Chlorpromazine seems to be the most useful medication for singultus (hiccups), and not only does it not work as well as some other methods, it has nasty side-effects, and nobody likes taking it. The most likey cure for an attack, though, isn't all that unpleasant: Just put a spoonful of table sugar on the soft palate. In comparison studies, this seems the trick that works most often.
