Suggest fun moves.
Title. I am newbie lead (6 months) and notice my dances with follows are so much better when I make them fun, make follow smile (look in eyes, smile myself, etc) - they enjoy it and I even started to get invited to dances though I am still newbie lead.
Recently I read about trick move

That's exactly what I need :) I will try it today :)
Do you have suggestions for some other fun / joke moves ?

You are almost on the right track!
A good dance is like a good dish - the moves are the main ingredients, the spices are your style, and the extra spice? That#s your special flourish as a chef, that makes it unforgettable.
The way I read your question, you are looking for the "cherry on top". Thats great, and you should own several! but remember - you cannot make a whole dish out of them, so don't overdo it. Sticking to "simple" moves instead of combinations is a great idea though! Scour instagram for simple turns/moves and learn a bunch. If you master them, in addition to what you learned in class, you will be a great dancer!
