Like sneezing?
Using thumb and forefinger, pull out a small clump of nose hairs. Just grit yer teeth and do it.
A good cluster of sneezes is practically guaranteed, especially if you stare at a bright light just after you've torn out the hairs.
It's the gift that just keeps giving!

(Not recommended if you dislike sneezing/suspect you may follow through)

Staring at a light might not work
Because photo-reactive sneezing is a genetic trait. I had a big argument with an ex about it once because she said I was lying when I said bright lights made me sneeze.

Being the better person, I waited until we had split up to look it up in medical journals and feel smug that I was right.

Thank you
I thought I was the only one to have that bright light thing. Everyone I've ever told about it thought I was joking?

Me too....
it's called the photic sneeze reflex

Bright light alone is enough to make me sneeze.
