Making A Butterfly & Snail With Balloons

Video Transcript

"Hi! Malik the magic guy, expertvillage.com. Let’s do the butterfly and the snail now, now for the butterfly we’re going to make a loop just like we did before and this is going to be kind of like a flower with different dimensions. So we’re going to make a bow twist and then we’re going to make two small fold twists one on each side of the bow, that makes the basic butterfly shape. Then we take a longer center inflated balloon like this one…we’re going to fold in half, we’re going to make a giant loop twist in it just like that…now we take this part and feed it on to this part just like this…and then you can squeeze the air out of these to make little antenna’s just like we did on the poodle tail, that’s a butterfly. Now to make a snail we want to take a balloon with a little room in it and we’re going to start off making just like we would make two bubbles and just like we would make dog legs, the two bubble lock twist just like that. Now this can come unraveled for a second, we’re going to do one giant loop twist so we have this…then we’re going to roll this into a roll, just do that by holding onto it and then we’re going to tuck it inside just like that…that makes the body of the snail. Now you take a short center inflated balloon, you twist it in half, you get back your bubble on the snail and you put this right on here like that…now you can put your little balls on the end same way we did with the poodle tail just by squeezing and that is a balloon snail, the butterfly and the snail."
