How to Fold a Towel into an Elephant

You want to know something that will never fail to get people coming to you? No, it’s not a magic trick. It’s also not a juggling act, although I know that’s a hit with kids. It’s also not some wicked ventriloquism skills.

Believe it or not, it’s just a bit of towel folding.

It’s cute, it’s easy to do, and it always gets people asking me, “How do you do it?”

All you need are two towels, one smaller than the other. These two towels you will fold into an elephant.

Once you know how to do it, you can easily make your own variations on this theme. Just look at the pictures below.

It doesn’t sound like much but believe me, I’ve done this hundreds of times and people love learning how to make it. You might even find them remembering you more for this bit of towel folding than your tricks.

Why? Because people love to learn stuff, especially easy ones that they can master in no time and share with other people.

And you know what else is good about teaching your audience how to fold towels into an elephant? You get to engage with them personally. And because they have invested time in you and learned something fun in the process, they would be a much more willing audience to your magic performance.

So what are you waiting for? Watch the video and learn how you can make magic elephants out of a pair of your trusty towels.
