If you’ve heard of Joshua Jordan, then you know he’s is a magician by trade! Instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat or guessing your playing card, his most amazing trick may just be his brilliantly simple method to remove snow from a driveway or yard without touching a snow shovel.
Now footage of his snow hack is gaining attention — and if you live in a cold-weather state, you’ll want to take a look! First, Joshua creates a long snowball and begins to rolls the snow out of the way.
To make this snow rolling trick work, you’re going to need a specific type of snow. Unfortunately, the light fluffy snow won’t do — you’ll need heavy, wet snow for this hack.
Once the snow is a few inches deep, begin by making a long (hot dog shape) snowball. After you have a compact snowball, start to roll the snowball over until it collects the snow directly in front of it.
The more you roll, the heavier the snow roll gets and the easier it’ll be to create a clear pathway. Not only does this trick save your back from tedious shoveling, but it’s also an easy way to start a snowman!
Joshua lives in West Virginia and made quick work opening up a path from the sidewalk toward the road. It’s actually pretty cool to watch him do this!
While Joshua is demonstrating on his grassy yard, it ought to work on other surfaces, such as the sidewalk that you’re required to clear off. It might even work across your porch or deck and jump start the snowman-making process, too!
If you live in a state where snow pummels you every year, this is something that you’ll need to try. Take a peek at Joshua’s helpful snow rolling hack in the video below.
Now that is a helpful magic trick — and he’s entertaining his wife and us at the same time!
