How to get rid of hiccups

Looking for a real cure for hiccups?  I have the be all, end all.  It doesn’t involve being scared or holding your breathe.  This technique has never failed me.  The only catch is, you need one other person to help you out.  Simply plug your ears and nose and take a large sip of water.  The easiest way to do this is to plug your nose using your thumbs and index fingers to plug your ears.  Then, have your partner feed you a sip of water.  Do not let go our your ears and nose until you finish the sip.  Thats it, your hiccups will be gone.
