The holding your breath for 10 seconds one works for me if I try it twice.

Hold your breath, but not to the point that you suffocate. Take short sips of air when you need to. The point of that method is not to make you turn blue, it's to raise the level of carbon dioxide in your blood, which tricks your body into thinking that you're suffocating. Hiccups are caused by a part of your throat, whose name I cannot recall, jumping because something irritated it. To get it to stop you need to distract it, which is why drinking water and sprinkling sugar onto the back of your tongue are also sometimes effective. A lack of oxygen will get its attention and convince it that it should concentrate on breathing. Gotta love trivia books.
