" Hi Malik the magic guy with expertvillage.com. Now I'm going to show you the two balloon body. Now this is a great body to learn because you can use it for almost anything. Any time you need to put a round balloon on something for a head (or any kind of a head with an attachment point) this is a body that you can use. Now I've taken two balloons blown up the same and I put a fold twist on the end of each one. What we are going to do is twist those together and those are going to be the arms and hands. Then on each balloon we want to make one bubble and pinch twist it so we have this kind of idea that gives it like some shoulder. Now we are going to make a torso by twisting the two pieces together here. We are going to feed one of these through and then we make a fold twist here and a fold twist here, feed those through and that is going to give us a two balloon body with some arms and legs that we can put a hat on. Now there is a way you can do that with using pinch twist that can make elbows and knees. So what you want to do you put a pinch twist here, put a pinch twist here, and we are going to make the shoulder like we did before with the two pinch twist and we are going to make the torso like we did before feed this through a pinch twist on each one again and a fold twist on each one again. What that is going to give us is the same two balloon body with some elbows and some knees. We can attach a head on here. This is a great body if you had to do something like a character with some muscles or like a space man or something like that. So that makes a nice detail two balloon body and you can adjust this however you want. That is the two balloon body."
