OK, I saw this someplace on the web, so must be true ;)
Get a glass of water, take a deep breath, hold your nose and sip the water about 15-20 sips, until you gasp. The hiccups will be gone.
(The reason why it works. The not breathing and sipping water confuses your body into thinking it is drowning. So rather than waste energy as the co2 level builds in your Diaphram the body diverts the useful oxygen stores to nether parts. The Diaphram gets less oxygenated and calms down (Co2) Thus you stop hiccuping)
Works about 99% of the time. If it fails to work. Try again.

If you hold the handle of a spoon or fork between your teeth and drink a half a glass of water your hiccups will be gone. This has never been known to fail and was taught to me by a renowned medicine woman many years ago.

Get a small juice glass of water. Light a match and blow it out. Drop it in the water and drink the water. I have no idea why, but it works EVERY time.

Take slow, deep breaths and gently massage your neck, on both sides of your wind pipe. The nerve that controls your diaphram runs down there and that nerve freaking out is what makes your diaphram spasm. Gently rubbing it calms down the nerve. It works every time for me.

Disclaimer: This will work if you believe in it, but you must totally believe in it.
1. Take a deep breath and hold it.
2. Count to 23.
3. Say "Go Away".
Ta Da! No hiccups.
BTW, if it doesn't work, it's because you didn't believe.
